Oh well. You set your priorities. Now deal with your decisions.

Just because you got tattoos done, it doesn't mean that you have STDs. If the artist doesn't properly sanitize the needle, there are possibilities of herpes simplex virus, tetanus, staph, fungal infections, some forms of hepatitis, and HIV.
All you have to do is go to a clinic and ask for a blood test for those problems. It's not very expensive.

did the needle and all come out of NEW sealed packages?
std's should not be a concern

If you went to a clean, reputable shop it shouldn't be an issue.
You would be at risk for Hep C and HIV if the artist didn't use clean equipment. And if the shop wasn't clean, I have to ask, why did you let them touch you?
Go to your free clinic and get tested if your worried.

well unless they werent sterilized... you could have hepatitis or other blood borne diseaese.. like aids.. if you can afford it then just go to planned parenthod or something. you say "tats" so you got more than one there??? if you suspected you have somethign the first time then why did you get more "tats" at the same location??? did you do you "homeowrk" and research an artist??
just save your money and go to the doctors.. and get tested for everythign thats possible...

well if you did your reasearch and made sure the tattoo parlor was clean, then it souldn't be a problem. If you are really worries there are lots of places that will do std tests and have a sliding scale of payment (such as planned parenthood).

u got an std from getting a tattoo? where in prison? most tattoo parlors are licensed and conform to industry standards relating to sterile equipment and environment.

Well I think I would have to go along with Rider and Burnt's answers. I hope you did not give it to the tattoo artist.

I think you probably had the STD's before you got your tattoo....

std stands for sexually transmitted disease.so unless you had sexual contact with the artist you should be fine.and as long as the needles were sterile you have nothing to worry about!unless youre a troll then i would go to the doctor!

I wouldn't worry about having an STD or less you went to a dirty tattoo parlor and they ink'd you with obviously dirty needles.
I think you may just be overreacting.
