See the tattoo studio owner or your doctor.
Tattoo artists are trained to apply tattoos and to avoid infection...
Doctors are trained to treat medical conditions...I say skip the call to the studio owner and go directly to the doctor.
True dat.
Though, its really up the the smartness of the person. An experianced tattoo artist probably has more experiance with healing tattoos than careless doctors. A bad tattoo artist can steer you wrong and a good doctor could fix you all up. Key is finding someone who's opinion you trust.
