Bloodborne pathogens can cause dangerous health hazard to people when they exposed to potentially infectious blood while doing tattooing or any other body piercing activities. If care is not taken, accidental exposure to bloodborne pathogens can cause Tuberculosis, Hepatitis C, Hepatitis B, AIDS viruses and HIV and many other health problems due to gems, viruses and bacteria.
All body art workers have to comply with the federal law and must undergo appropriate training to understand the causes of infection, preventive measures and safety procedures. These employees too should be vaccinated against Hepatitis B.
