Default Re: I hope this puts you off tats in 3rd world countries!!

Regular WA Health Dept warning at this time of year. There are many Aussie run tattoo business in Bali and many have autoclaves to sterilise, something a lot of shops in Oz don't, many still use only alcohol based sterilants. Like any tattoo joint, check the work and speak to people. A mate in the Army got hepatitis from a tattoo done in Adelaide.
Any body art or piercing place can pass on blood borne diseases. Have a look at the number of parlours closed in Australia on 2010/2011 about twenty due to blood borne infections.
