Getting a new tattoo may be an exciting, if extremely painful experience, may it be for individuals with pre-existing ink, or people getting inked for the first time. But it could also be fatal, as reports suggest a 31-year-old man was killed by flesh-eating bacteria just days after taking a swim in the Gulf of Mexico, not long after getting a tattoo.
According to a report from Metro, the 31-year-old man, whose name or nationality was not identified in the British Medical Journal study documenting his case, ignored the common advice not to go swimming within two weeks of getting a new tattoo. After getting inked with a crucifix and a pair of hands praying, the man took a dip in the Gulf of Mexico, but would fall ill soon after he was done taking a swim.
