Needle stick
I work as a body piercer and accidentally stabbed myself with a clients needle. It was a 13 gauge needle with a hollow tip. I used it on the cartilage of their ear. Atleast the full head of the needle went through the skin of my thumb. Am I at a high risk for possible infection/disease transmission? I also ran it under water and forced the blood out as much as i could.
