I got a staph infection from my tattoo about 2 months ago. I need it touched up but i'm still on antibiotics for it. is it a bad idea to get a touch up or is it okay?

NO a good tattoo person will not touch an the staph can be passed from person to person an you might lose your arm or worse DIe

You're already being treated for staph (don't know which one). Did you want to try for another type of staph bacteria? Was that your plan, my friend? Wait until this infection is cleared up before risking another.

Can you get one? Sure you can. Should you? NO! I would wait until you finish your regimen of antibiotics at least. Even then I would consider looking at another place since it seems that's how you got the infection in the first place!

why do you need a touch up on a 2 mth old tattoo? plus you have a staph infection from the place? don't go until you are completly healed. and please don't go to the same place!

I wouldn't try that! Wait until you finish the antibiotics. It might happen all over again though maybe you're allergic to the ink. I don't know, dude!

that is a question for your doctor. i would follow all doctors directions and it would probly be a good idea to wait until you are all well.
