Wow...

I am surprised, with the vast amounts of dodgy tattooists in the world, that you don't hear of this happening more, but it's still very sad when it does happen. All the guy wanted was a souvenir of his holiday but due to being uninformed, or maybe just wreckless, he's come away with a life-changing illness.

All we can hope is that this case gets some media attention and people realise it can happen in real life, and it's not worth the risk. Despite the fact it's theoretically possible to contract HIV or Hepititis from piercing guns, I've never seen ny report of it actually having happened, hence I don't think the risk is taken seriously..
