should i be concerned about my and my children's health if my husband becomes a tattoo artist

should i be concerned about my and my children's health if my husband becomes a tattoo artist?
My husband is looking to start an apprenticeship in a tattoo parlor. Hes an artist but he wants to take his art to another level. What my concern is that we have 4 small children in the house and Im scared that since hes going to be in contact with skin and some blood he might catch some air bone illness or harm full bacteria that may get the children or even me sick! What are the odds...He says Im being to paranoid. I just want my children to be safe.

You're paranoid. Although tattoo shops look dirty, you'd be surprised at how clean they are. I can't remember what magazine it was, but I read most are cleaner than fast food kitchens.

In his apprenticeship, one of the most broad and important topics taught will be cleanliness and safety - both for the piercer & "piercee." Piercing has come such a long way in terms of health and sterilization, so I don't think you have anything to worry about. So long as he keeps gloves on and clean hands underneath, that's essentially the only part of him that will come in contact with anyone else.

I'm a tattoo artist/piercer and trust me, health and cleanliness is the biggest priority in reputable tattoo shops. First of all, your husband isn't even going to be tattooing for a while if he's just starting an apprenticeship. He's going to be doing things like talking to customers, cleaning the shop, setting up equipment, etc. Second of all, when/if he does start tattooing, cleanliness is a huge issue. The area of the body that the client is getting tattooed is cleaned thoroughly. The tattoo artist wears gloves and in some shops, a mask. Tattoo artists wash their hands before and after every client. And all needles and equipment are sterilized, and disposed after each client. Trust me, you have nothing to worry about. Good tattoo shops pride themselves on things like this.

I feel sorry for him... Your reason is the same excuse the government has been using to take away our freedoms. God help him if he decides to get into firearms. Stick with what you know, your soccer practice van and CNN

There isn't a chance of passing an air borrn illness in a tattoo shop accept for maybe the common cold. You should be more worried about him possibly getting a skin infection. But the chances of your children or you getting sick from that are next to nothing. Tattoo shops have changed over the years, most of them have become cleaner and have to follow the rules of the local health department when it comes to disposing equipment and cleaning. If any thing he should look into getting vaccinated for Hepatitis and I'm sure he isn't going to be careless enough to bring any thing home with him that could make you or your children sick.

Are there any health insurance plans based on income

Are there any health insurance plans based on income?
I'm a student and work part-time. I need health insurance before I go back to school in a few weeks but I only make 700/month. I don't qualify for state health care since I have a child and live with her father who earns too much.

I don't know of any health insurance plans based on income, but there are certainly some plans specifically for students that take this into account. Try contacting your college or university healthcare department, they can probably put you in touch with companies that offer student healthcare plans.

Why are Republicans against Health-care for poor children

Why are Republicans against Health-care for poor children?
Why are Republicans against Health-care for poor children? Many children below the poverty line don't have health care. If universal health-care provides health-care to kids in the inner city and poor neighborhoods and areas why do they want to take that away from america's most at risk children? are they looking out for the blue collar american family they claim to represent or for themselves and those already with health-care? Source: Grew up in the inner city to a family below the poverty line in the projects in Richmond, Va. Not all poor children are provided with healthcare like the GOP would like you to think. To the guy below saying those without Healthcare shouldn't have children. what if they could afford to have children but hit hard times like many families today in this economy?

"Poor children" have health care provided by the taxpayers, have had so for a long time. Drama is unbecoming.
2 :
Nice false choice there, sport. Why do leftists believe in fantasyland?
3 :
Why are people who can not afford health care for their children having children to begin with? Why can't they take a little personal responsibility and say, we can't afford children so we shouldn't have them. Why do liberals like to pick the pocket of the tax payor and give to those who think they are owed a living by everybody else? I assure you there are enough state programs available for poor families, in Florida we had a program that if you made less than 30K your children could be insured for $15 a month. Most conservatives oppose national healthcare because of the beauracracy that will have to be funded in order to administer it. Remember there is nothing Government can do outside of it constituional limits as well or a economically as private industry can!

Greetings! That is an excellent question. If they sat in Emergency Rooms like several of my clients have to when they need medical care, they probably would be singing a different tune. Every other industrialized nation have figured ways to take care of their citizens...everyone except us. Now that we have it on the board for real, only the Republicans have the audacity to remove it. It's very sad, and also very telling. They argue that it is the Democrats that need to take notice of the tea party. Well, now that Republicans have the floor, they now have two years to completely correct the devastation that their previous leader, George W. Bush created, the EXACT amount of time that they have given President Obama. Lets see if they can deliver.

What do you call Medicaid and or CHiPs? Try again genius. If you or any inner city kids were poor and did not have health coverage then blame mommy and daddy because the programs are there.
6 :
The answer is Medicaid - medical care for those unable to pay for it due to financial shortfall. Please name the Republican that wants to take that away from these unfortunate kids. If the income cut-off is too high then the law should be amended. Blaming unnamed Republicans for something that hasn't been shown to be fact is not the best way to start, or continue, discourse on the national health care problem.
7 :
Dear heart, Republicans are not against health-care for poor children per se! They first and foremost, have no interest in the poor at any age! Can't you see that! Why do they vote against policies that would benefit the poor and the elderly? It's because they are against any policy sut forth by our awesome president! Unfortunately, the greatest benefit to all americans that failed inclusion into the health bill was public policy, which would have allowed competition amongst major insurers whose cost have run amuk. We would have quicky seen the healthcare cost drop in half by these insures whose customers would have run for the less expensive option. We unfortunately, no longer have that option and for that, I am truly saddened.
