Celine McSweeney: Perth woman’s warning after infection strikes down partner following tattoo

A Perth woman has issued a grim health warning following a bizarre tattoo mishap that left her partner unable to “walk or talk” and turned his skin yellow. Celine McSweeney said that her husband Ben was struck down with the mystery illness after having some tattoo work done at a “highly reputable” parlour in Perth. He was so unwell that within hours, he couldn’t “walk or talk”.

I even had to brush his teeth for him in bed,” she said. It appeared as though he was getting worse when, on day three of being hospitalised, Ben tested positive for golden staph in his tattoo. Golden staph, scientifically known as Staphylococcus aureus , can cause a range of mild to severe infections. It is a common bacterium that lives on the skin and in some people’s noses and is the most common infection related to tattoos.
