PHUKET:-- Patong Municipality yesterday (Sept 4) issued a notice to tattoo shops within the Patong area to strictly adhere to health regulations following Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) health officials closing a tattoo shop in Phra Nakhon district after it was found that it did not follow safe, hygienic practices.

 

The temporary closure of the Bangkok tattoo shop followed reports of the recent death of a 22-year old woman from Loei province last month, where HIV was recorded by a doctor as one of the causes.

 

A health official from Patong Municipality, Sirawat Kraingkrai, has also warned tourists to be aware when choosing a tattoo shop and make sure the shop features a ‘Patong Municipal Health Certificate’ on the premises.

Surely septicaemia or something other than HIV.  Says as much about the standards of journalism and medical diagnosis of cause of death as it does about hygiene standards for tattoo artists here
