Yes. You should be going to a reputable place to get a tattoo anyway, where they will be wearing gloves and taking all the necessary precautions. Good tattoo artists will make sure they are safe against infections.

Herpes isn't passed through blood so you should be OK to become a tattoo artist.

I am wondering this right now. I have had my outbreaks under control, and just got a tattoo on my lower back. Suddenly I have an outbreak in more than one place. While getting the tattoo I experienced major nerve sensations, so I am wondering if it triggered the outbreak.
