CK Public Health Issues Alert on Unlicensed Tattoo Artist

CK Public Health is urging individuals who received tattoos in the past six months from an unlicensed artist to contact them immediately.

The health agency believes the tattoo services were likely offered in or around Bothwell.

Those who received tattoos from this unlicensed and uninspected provider may be at risk of contracting bloodborne infections, including HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C.

Affected individuals are advised to reach out to CK Public Health at 519-355-1071 ext. 2902 or consult their primary healthcare provider.

Public health officials emphasize the importance of choosing tattoo services from inspected and compliant businesses to ensure safety and prevent infections.
