So what you are saying is that sharing the same needles is NOT good ? I thought the philosophy of sharing was a good thing. hmmm I should REconsider =/
Mine was done recently and the needles and ink were all brand new in fresh wrappers that hadn't been opened before. I had to sign a statement saying that all products were brand new. I think regulations have tightened up a lot over the years.
I feel bad for those that did have them years ago and contracted a disease from unsanitary equipment.
