As a medical student (i'm going to be a doctor when i grow up), i can say with a decent degree of certainty that although there are a VERY few instances where a nosebleed COULD be related to a bad tattoo, those instances are serious zebras. Unless you start experiencing any other weirdness (vomiting, diarrhea, etc.) it's not worth worrying over. Obviously with any tattoo the concern will be with hepatitis, which can absolutely cause nosebleeds, but given american standards for tattoo shops, it's highly unlikely. But you might check in the tattoo group if it's still worrying you.
yeah I know of a few but experenced nothing else and only one did my nose bleed. The artest was varry profestional everything clean (new needles from the package, clean work space, in a parlor not an apartment or anything) there is a few ideas I have as of what happened I have my moms sinuses and she was a mess the same day so I figure it was the weather (and thats not just because the monitor had the same idea) it seems fine no infection, swelling, sickness, nothing. just regular upkeep. I think everything is fine photbucket
