Yes you could get a tat. But remember !!! Make Sure the Parlor is Clean !. Because it's you , that you Have to protect. You don't want another Strain of HIV. Good luck . . .

I have two tattoos and have had no issues, just take care of yourself and go to a respectful tattoos place.

I have no tattoos. I like some men who have tasteful (to me) inked skin and in some cases find it very sexy. I've never wanted a tattoo because -- well -- I've an aversion to needles! LOL I've read that getting tattooed can be dangerous for a person with HIV because of the possibility of acquiring an infection or other blood born disease (specifically hepatitis). The possibility of a tattoo artist being careless and not cleaning his equipment or using used or dirty needles is also scary. For someone HIV+ (or just anyone), check out the artist and their parlor thoroughly before proceeding. Your life is worth more than a few inches of ink.

I have gotten 3 or 4 tats since I was diagnosed i did not disclose my status to the artist and i think in my state its not even legal to get tattooed if you're poz but i didnt even read the service consent i knew i was undetectable but i still feel like i should have disclosed my status and given the artist the option to choose whether or not he wanted to do the work

Yes! You need to disclose your status once you decide on a parlour. First check them out with the county health department, or whoever over sees their licensing. This is to protect you from possible infection.
