The tattoo artist was shown respecting hygienic standards while tattooing, such as stenciling, wiping, and disinfecting.

Nevertheless, theCleveland Clinicstated that human bites can be more dangerous than many people expect as germs in the saliva can increase the risk of infection, adding: “A wound may appear minor, but a bacterial infection can lead to more severe infections and complications.”
