Safe tattoo advise
With the advent of many communicable diseases, some fatal, it has become necessary to institute certain isolation and sterilization procedures in the tattoo process to assure the public of a safe, risk free tattoo.
Always insist that you see your tattooist remove a new needle and tube from a sealed envelope immediately prior to your tattoo.
Be certain you see your tattooist pour a new ink supply into a new disposable container
Make sure your artist puts on a new pair of disposable gloves before setting up tubes, needles and ink supplies.
Satisfy yourself that the shop furnishings and tattooist are clean and orderly in appearance; much like a medical facility.
Ask to see their sterilizer and asked if it is tested on a regular basics.
Feel free to question the tattooist as to any of his sterile procedures and isolation techniques. Take time to observe them at work and do not hesitate to inquire about their experience and qualification in the tattoo field.
If the tattooist is a qualified professional, they will have no problem complying with standards above and beyond these simply guidelines.
Getting a tattoo is a memorable experience so why not make it a good one!
