| | | | The possible use of unsterilized equipment was identified following a routine inspection of the shop, said Ross MacEachern, Durham Region health department manager of environmental health.
"At this time, we have no evidence of transmission of infectious diseases, but because of the potential use of non-sterile equipment, there is a risk — which we believe to be relatively low," MacEachern said Friday in a release.

From the story, italics mine. You're likelier to pick up an infectious disease at your doctor's office, during routine surgery, or at the dentist than at the average tattoo shop.

Shitty for the people that have to be tested though.

| | | | Yeah this is why I dont get tattoos or piercings either...paranoid maybe, but my creativity is channelled through other means.
As if Oshawa didnt have enough problems with its' higher than normal STD rates, drug addicts, and prostitution. I must admit though, driving past the King St Coffee Time (aka Crack time by the locals) is always interesting. They all line up, selling their various wares. apparently that corner is going to be leveled for a parking lot eh. I wonder where the hookers, and dealers, and users will go next?
And we largely subsidize these people too with welfare and various other social programs. I think if you want a handout, roll up your sleeve for a blood test. And for all you activists out there, I am sorry...you surrender some of your freedoms once you admit to society that you cannot manage your life...
I think there should be a show about downtown Oshawa: The Shwa. They could use the "These are the people in your neighbourhood" song from Sesame St as the intro. And make Oshawa people action figures...like Cwhorena the hooker, Betty Sue Paternity, and Blaquille O' Neil the Good Year Pimp.

Oh, don't start being the voice of reason now.
All you who say this is why you don't get tattoos or piercings, I hope you never give blood, have blood tests taken, or have routine surgery either, since that's more likely to get you infected with something than a tattoo parlour. For those that don't understand how it works, the needles are all single-use as well, the sterilization is for the gun and other equipment.*
*None of this applies to buddies who work out of their mom's basement, or jailhouse artists with homemade guns, I'm only talking about real shops here.
Indiana Teach, I don't care what your opinions on other people's lifestyles are, I learned long ago that I can't change the mind of everyone who I disagree with. However, what do the addicts, hookers and dealers have to do with your original post? From what I can tell, that little tangent you took had nothing to do with the thread, and somehow, through a stunning leap of logic I fail to see, connects iv drug users and infected hookers with tattoo parlours, which as I mentioned before, are usually a) cleaner and more sterile than the average doctor's or dentist's office, b) very frequently inspected by health officials, and c) are usually staffed by people who love what they do for a living, and therefore care more about most aspects of their work, being much less likely to cut corners. So what does this have to do with crack time in the shwa again?

Since we are talking about people accepting you for having a tattoo, learn to accept that some people dont want to risk getting AIDS to get one.

If you don't want a tattoo, that's fine, don't get one. I don't really care whether you use your own reasons or someone else's, but don't claim unsafe practices by tattoo artists as your reason, it's not a valid one. Pick any other reason you want, just don't pick the one based on misinformation and outdated paranoia.
For the record, btw, I'm not talking about people 'accepting' me for having a tattoo, that's never been an issue for me, or for society in general these days, really. Especially considering that you wouldn't see mine if you met me on the street anyways.
And as for risking getting AIDS (or other nasties), that's why I don't give blood to the Red Cross (see the link I posted earlier for my province's track record on blood safety). Call bullshit all you want, I've met more people that caught something through the medical system (half a dozen that I know of) than I have met people infected by anything from tattooing (zero) or piercing (one, but not from the shop, the mild infection came from not cleaning the piercing properly).

Agreed. I' ve never had any problem being "accepted" for having a tattoo and I have 5 ( not necessarily small ones), worked as a graphic designer, and am presently attending school to become a funeral director. Both are professional careers. However, mine are tastefully placed and you would probably never know I had them if I chose to conceal them under conservative attire. I would like people to respect my decision to be tatooed just as I respect others decision not to be tatooed...however, claiming unsafe practices as a reason not to have one is outdated and misinformed.

Right. LOL I am sure hospitals nowadays are run less securely than a tatoo parlour. I know several people who work in parlours (some in Oshawa too!), and not only do they tell horror stories about the lack of proper standard regulation procedures, but even the Ontario Ministry of Education changed the science curriculum to ensure many workplace and college level courses include tattoo and piercing safety in the course expectations! Clearly this reflected the need. And yes, having worked in hospitals, and the better half being a nurse, I DO trust them more than tattoo parlours. At least nurses and doctors have ample education and strict guidelines.

Ha ha ha. It is my post, and I shall extend my ranting if I want to. And if you dont get the connection between Oshawa, the high level of drug use and rampant prostitution endemic to the downtown, and the obvious elevated dangers to local tattoo and piercing parlours, than you are an idiot. Maybe the higher level of local STDs and IV risk factors makes it more risky? Hmm! I have sock puppets if you need a video explanation.
BTW...I never said all tattoo parlours were bad, and I know of some with very talented and devoted people. I was speaking about this one in particular, hence the article that was attached... Also, do you know how frequently the parlours are inspected, or the level of education and background checks employees must have? I do.

Extend away. Thanks for typing in bold, I find that when people yell I understand them much more clearly. I guess I'm an idiot, cause I've never seen a tattoo parlour that reused needles. Maybe that's just because I'm not classy enough to live in Oshawa, hence my confusion as to why a Coffee Time's hooker population was endangering the shwa's tattooed population. Which on second consideration, likely bears artwork consisting mostly of eagles, 'live to ride, ride to live' banners, the numeral '3' in honour of Dale Earnhardt, and tazmanian devils with hockey sticks, so f*ck it, let them all share needles.
On that note, I almost forgot this was the internet. I'm gonna stop typing now and go out for last call.
Maypost, don't forget to never check for change in phone booths, I heard people leave AIDS-tainted needles pointing outwards in the change slots.
