Slashface was traveling in Koh Chang, Thailand and while on the lonely beach he came across Blue’s bamboo beachfront tattoo hut, and decided to get a skeletal horse animal of some sort done. He describes the process of having the tattoo done using traditional hand-poking as “slow and painful”, but the results seem good. But I do wonder if Blue’s taken a blood borne pathogens course?

that looks really good, apart from the fact that it doesn’t really look like a horse skeleton, more like a dog.

well if you’re going to use a piece of wood to handpoke ink into someone…why use gloves? why use drape sheets, why do anything at all…afterall all you need is to soak your stuff in alcohol and it’ll be right, right? lol
oh Thailand…The things I’ve seen since moving to Darwin…The things I’ve seen lol

Wow, they’re some sharp hipbones there.
Nice tattoo, although I’m guessing it’s not a greyhound or whippet, ‘caus the muzzle’s too short and the jawbone too heavy. Maybe it’s a retriever? Who knows…

Oh trust me, i have worked in a studio in Thailand, and that was in a fairly decent “looking” studio in the centre of Bangkok and they have absolutely no idea what cross contamination is or what sterilisation is!!! They would sometimes not wear gloves at all, if they did, they would even eat at the same time as tattooing with the bloody gloves on!! After 3 weeks working there we left for our own health and safety!!! So no he would have no clue on even what “blood borne pathogens” is or what it meant!!!

lately more and more we’ve been seeing waves of botched piercings from Phuket, at least that’s what the people are telling me when I ask about the piercings,etc.

Body Piercing and Tattooing have survived for thousands of years without knowledge of cross contamination or pathogens. It is a western pre-occupation with health and safety that shapes our reaction to such scenes.
