I hope this puts you off tats in 3rd world countries!!

Since its the holiday season now i'm guessing quite a few are heading out and abroad. Just a bit of a warning for those who might get a tattoo or 2.

Overseas travellers are being warned to take care after a West Australian contracted HIV after getting a tattoo in Bali.
The WA Health Department has issued an urgent warning advising Australians to avoid getting tattoos and piercings overseas.
Anyone who has recently had body art done in Bali is being advised to see their doctor.
HIV is transmitted through exchange of bodily fluids. There is no vaccine or cure.
