I hope you read the whole string of threads...it started because the post was made that there is "NO RISK" having a tattoo done in Bali...to me that is seriously irresponsible by someone whoe is not in the medical profession..Their basis for this comment is that they have had no problems with their tattoos therefore there cant possibly be any risk.
These comments are irresponsible and dangerous for the naieve and young.
The thread then commented that our friends infection was their own fault..presumptative and false at every point..
You are correct they do not come on here for medical opinion but rather advice and if telling someone that has never had a tattoo that there is no risk is a good thing then we have let ourselves down...
I have nothing against tattoos or tattoos in Bali but moreso the advice should have been......"we went here for a tattoo and we had no problems, we recommend them but you should do your own research"...that would have been fine
