AB Tattooing carries several medical risks, including the transmission of
infectious diseases. We review the published literature on the
transmission of hepatitis B virus, human immunodeficiency virus,
Treponema pallidum, papillomavirus, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and
other organisms by tattooing. Education, through public health measures,
should promote the prevention of infectious disease transmission.
Particular populations who could benefit from education include
prisoners, individuals involved with correctional facilities, youths,
military personnel, and health care providers coming in contact with
populations at risk for tattoos.
