Tattoo Studio - How To Choose A Safe Tattoo Studio
2
Choosing a tattoo studio is vital to your health.
Every state has different laws governing tattoo
studios. Check with your local state governing
office to find out what the regulations are
there. At the very least, it is best to use a
studio that is licensed. This usually means that
successful completion of a health department
course on infectious disease transmission has
been taken and an exam has been passed. First of
all, when you enter a tattoo studio, take a look
around. It should be clean and organized.
Disinfectants used should be EPA approved. You
don't want to use a studio that is not kept very
clean and neat.

Ask about the artist's professional memberships.
Tattoo artists that belong to professional
organizations usually keep up with all the latest
trends and best practices. It is important to
note, however, that many of the most notable
tattooists do not belong to any association. If
there are laws in place in your state for tattoo
studios, it is usually the local health
department that regulates tattoo studios. Watches
the tattoo artist do work on another client to
see if you like their style and to see that they
are following safe procedures.

• Look for the following items. If you don't see
  them, ask the artist about them. If the artist
  tells you they are unnecessary or "overkill,"
  leave immediately and go look for another studio.
  Your health is more important than the risk of
  using a tattoo artist that is less than totally
  dedicated to the safest practices in his or her
  studio.
• Autoclave - an autoclave is used in hospitals to
  sterilize equipment. It uses heat, steam, and
  pressure to kill every organism on the equipment.
  It usually takes about an hour for an autoclave
  to run a cycle from a cold start to effectively
  kill all organisms. You can even ask to see the
  autoclave and sterilization certificate. The
  tattoo artist should first clean the equipment
  and then place it in a special pouch before
  placing it in the autoclave. There is a strip on
  the outside of the pouch that indicates when the
  equipment is sterile. The needle bar and tube are
  reusable pieces of equipment that must be
  sterilized before each use.
• 2. Single Use Items
• Single use items should be used only once so that
  the chances of cross contamination are
  eliminated. The single use items include
• Ink, Ink cups, Gloves, Needles
• 3. Sharps/Biohazard Container
• Used needles and objects that have come into
  contact with blood or bodily fluids should be
  disposed of in a sharps/biohazard container.

4. A universal container for any ointment, ink,
water, etc. should not be used especially if any
of these items have been removed from the
container to be used on a client. Looking for
