Alberta Health Services has ordered a home-based Edmonton tattoo business to close, and is advising anyone who got tattoos there to be tested for viruses that can be spread through unsanitary procedures.
Noeyez Tattooz operated from a home at 11508 32 St., AHS said in a media advisory.
All customers who received tattoo services at the location are being advised to be tested.
Dr. Christopher Sikora, medical officer of health for the Edmonton zone of AHS, will speak at a media availability Wednesday afternoon.
Sikora will talk about unsanitary procedures that may put people at risk, and the recommendations for testing.
