What is the name of your state? Ohio
Due to not knowing where to put this... I'll ask it here. I apologize if this is off-topic for this particular forum.
Recently, my girlfriend and I had gotten tattoos from a shop in exchange for some training services that we had provided to the artists. The shop is licensed, inspected, etc, and went to great lengths to maintain a sanitary environment. However, we had later discovered that one of the artists had an active staph infection and didn't let the shop know.
This particular artist did her tattoo, and hovered over me as mine was done. Now, both myself and my girlfriend have been diagnosed with MRSA at our tattoo sites. She had to have an incision made to drain the area (approx. 3/4 long and an inch deep) and had to miss several days of work. I had to be seen in the ER, where they opened up the area on my arm....
We were curious to know if there was any type of action that we could take to recoup the lost income and medical expenses (and any other damages that we might be entitled to). According to the shop owner, that artist did sign a form when he started that he was clear of any communicable diseases.
Any help is appreciated.
