what are the chances of getting a tattoo infected

[milk tank]

in my apt building i woke up with brown water coming out my tub and sink pipes. the super said let the water drain out. i used the water to clean my tattoo. i waited a hour or so till the water was white again to clean my tattoo what are the chances my tattoo will get infected from the water i used out my bathroom i guess there was a pipe break in my city but i did wait a while before i used it any help. even tho the water was white when i used it i am scared that micro dirt can still infect my new tattoo.

sorry for the long story just a germ freak:confused:

If you used good soap and dried it, I think you'll be OK. If you're really worried, wash the tattoo again.

That brown in the water was just metal/setiment that settled. It's likely not going to screw anything up if you used soap.

You could have started an intro thread to properly introduce yourself and ask this question instead of spamming the forum with inane, throwaway posts to get enough posts to start a new thread.

We're worried about bacteria, not yucky brown sediment. If you're nervous, use antibacterial soap and room temp bottled water for cleaning.

i already washed out my tattoo using the pipe i waited a bit tho till the water was clear enough. hopefully i don't get any germs or bacteria from it. but i did use antibacterial soap

Bacteria such as staph are part of your normal skin flora. So you're always exposed everyday to bateria that lives on your body.
