Health warning for tattooing in Hamilton
Hamilton residents who had tattoos done by an unlicensed artist working out of a private residence, on 932 King Street East or 307 Barton Street East, are being advised to get immediate medical attention.
Public health services say the tattooing equipment was not cleaned or sterilized between clients. Those who’ve had tattoos done in these locations may be at risk of getting blood borne infections like Hepatitis C, or HIV.
