Nasty infections tied to ink used in tattoos
Atlanta – An outbreak of infected tattoos has led to an unlikely source: the ink.
With the growing popularity of tattoos, health officials say they are seeing more cases of a nasty skin infection caused by a common bacteria traced to the ink. In the largest outbreak, 19 people in Rochester, N.Y., ended up with bubbly rashes on their new tattoos.
Infections from tattooing are nothing new. Hepatitis, staph infections and even the superbug known as MRSA have been tied to tattoos. Dirty needles and unsanitary conditions are often to blame.
But all the New York cases were linked to an unidentified artist who wore disposable gloves and sterilized his instruments. The problem, investigators concluded, was in the ink.
In the past year, there have been 22 confirmed cases and more than 30 suspected cases of the skin infection in Colorado, Iowa, New York and Washington state, health officials said. The infections were tied to ink or water used to dilute the ink. Tattoo artists and ink makers should use only sterile water to dilute ink, health officials advise.

Jim Kershner’s this day in history
Jim Kershner The Spokesman-Review
From our archives, 100 years ago
The following words, uttered by Marguerite Motie (Miss Spokane) ushered in a new era for Spokane’s loftiest landmark:
“You, our mountain, have been a true friend to Spokane. Our act this day cannot be more than a weak recognition of our love for you. You shall have the best we have to give, our name itself. I christen thee beautiful Mount Spokane.”
With that, the mountain shed its former names, Old Baldy and Mount Carleton.
Miss Spokane was standing at the summit, 5,883 feet, surrounded by dignitaries including Gov. M.E. Hay and Mayor W.J. Hindley.
Also present was Francis H. Cook, who had no such lofty title, but he was more important than anybody else in making sure Mount Spokane would be preserved for posterity. He owned the summit and much of the slopes, and he dreamed of making it into a park one day.
Not everyone was happy with the name change. The friends of the late pioneer J.J. Browne, who named it Mount Carleton after his son, Guy Carleton Browne, were “inclined to resent the rechristening.”
But the new name made good sense from a public-relations standpoint.
Spokane’s Chamber of Commerce planned to use the new name extensively in promoting the charms of Spokane.
