Historically, the Biohazard Tattoo represents something that should be stayed away from at the risk of ones health. It indicates something dangerous and possibly deadly. Popular culture has adapted the symbol into something that is measnt to infer to the viewer that the bearer either "lives on the edge" or, more directly, IS hazardous to the health of others. It would be ill advised for anyone working in healthcare or foodservice industries to have such a tattoo. It demonstrates an egrggious lack of judgment and forethought and shows they are oblivious to the sensitivites of the general populace. In other words, ignorant. In the gay community it has apparently become a beacon for someone with AIDS. If this is true, again, while the idea of TRUTH IN ADVERTISING is laudable, it may also be a banner of honesty that eliminate any chance of finding a partner, unless of course that partner was LOOKING to catch HIV. In my opinion, this tattoo should be done away with in favor of having the phrase INFECTIOUS WASTE tattoed directly one the forehead.
