Why are you so dead set on this hepatitis thing? I do not have hepatitis. You cannot get hepatitis after the machines are sunk in the autoclave. It kills everything on them. Then, they put the machines in these things called "sterile packs". Which means they're sterile. No germs. Then, the packs are put in to drawers until they are needed for the tattoo. They do not reuse needles (which also come out of sterile packs). Needles get thrown into biohazard boxes.

Stop talking about hepatitis. It is an invalid argument.

Oh and even though I can prove my "clean bill of health" with the necessary papers from my doctor, does it really make any kind of sense to walk in to a job interview and, when asked about my tattoos, just say "oh don't worry, it's cool, I don't have hepatitis."

Yeah the world doesn't work like that hahaha. Like I said, invalid.

Oh and for the record, since you seem so uneducated in this whole process, any reputable tattoo shop has you sign a paper stating that you do not carry any blood transferable diseases. I would assume your only experience with tattoos is with a kitchen magician. So no, I don't have hepatitis and if that's all you have to contribute, you should probably just leave this thread alone.
