Man Reportedly Died After Swimming With New Tattoo.

A 31-year-old Latino man living in Texas died after swimming in the Gulf of Mexico with a brand new tattoo.

New tattoo recipients are commonly warned not to go swimming for at least three weeks after being inked in order to let the wound properly heal.

Unfortunately, a man who didn’t heed that important warning has reportedly died after contracting a flesh-eating bacteria while swimming after getting new body art.
