The Department of Public Health has yet to name the tattoo parlor, where 2 individuals who received tattoos might have developed skin infections. According to the department, two adults reported their skin infections to the same Springfield medical clinic earlier this year. These reports eventually led to an investigation by health officials and the alert to healthcare providers statewide to find if there were any additional cases. Department spokeswoman Melaney Arnold stated on Tuesday that after she was notified about the suspected tattoo parlor, officials performed an inspection. They were unable to determine if the infections originated form the establishment. Arnold said that the lack of confirmation was the reason that the parlor or the artist were identified. She said that the inspection did result in the business implementing procedures to reduce the risk of infection to customers.
