This might sounds stupid. Is it possible to catch something ( any kind of hep or hiv ) from getting a tat? I want one, but dont know where to start as far as choosing a good artist and being safe with it etc.

It is possible to transmit Hepetitis, but there has never been a recorded case of AIDS transmitted by tattooing (though many people falsely believe that).

However, if you go to a reasonably reputable tattoo studio, the chances of you getting a disease are pretty much zero. And even if blood does wind up getting passed, the tattoo artist is at more risk than you are (after all, who's the one getting poked? you or him?).

Ask them about their sterility procedures. They should mention an autoclave, and be clear that needles are one-time-use only and disposed of after use.

If they don't say those things at the very least, turn around and walk out.
