Hepatitis B

Hepatitis B symptoms generally appear about three months after the infection, although they can turn up as soon as 9 weeks or as late as 21 weeks after a contaminated tattoo. Only about 70% of people who are infected will have any symptoms at all. Type B hepatitis symptoms appear more often in adults than in children. The older you are, the more likely you are to have symptoms.
Hepatitis symptoms include:
Yellowing of the skin.
Yellowing of the whites of the eyes. This may happen before changes in the skin.
Fatigue.
Fever.
Nausea and vomiting.
Stomach pain.
Loss of appetite.
Tea-colored urine.
Clay-colored bowel movements.
Symptoms can include one, several, or all of these. They may be strong or mild. For some people, Hepatitis B just feels like a slight case of the flu. For others, it's a serious illness.

Hepatitis C

For most people with the Type C virus, there are no hepatitis symptoms at all for many years. Routine blood tests may eventually show damage to the liver. In some cases, the virus isn't detected until serious liver damage has already happened.
Mild symptoms do appear in some people early on. These include:
Tiredness.
Nausea.
Reduced appetite.
Tenderness on the right side under the ribs, where the liver is located.
Later on, once liver damage is established, there may be yellowing of the eyes and skin, dark urine, light stools, itchy skin, and swelling of the abdomen.

Can you get Hepatitis C by getting a tattoo or piercing?

A few major research studies have not shown Hepatitis C to be spread through licensed, commercial tattooing facilities. However, transmission of Hepatitis C (and other infectious diseases) is possible when poor infection-control practices are used during tattooing or piercing. Body art is becoming increasingly popular in the United States, and unregulated tattooing and piercing are known to occur in prisons and other informal or unregulated settings. Further research is needed to determine if these types of settings and exposures are responsible for Hepatitis C virus transmission.
