At PURE ink., we place the highest priority on hygiene standards, with a strict and unwavering commitment to ensuring the health and safety of our clients. We consider it our responsibility to maintain the highest levels of cleanliness and safety throughout every aspect of the tattoo process.
- Sterilization of Equipment: All tattooing tools, such as needles, ink cups, and other equipment, should be either single-use or sterilized using an autoclave, which is a high-temperature machine that kills bacteria and viruses.
- Use of Disposable Gloves: Tattoo artists should wear disposable gloves to prevent direct contact with the skin and reduce the risk of contamination.
- Clean and Sanitized Environment: The tattoo studio must be clean, with surfaces disinfected before and after each session. Workstations should be free from dirt and debris.
- Sanitizing and Preparing Skin: The area to be tattooed should be cleaned with a disinfectant before the procedure. Only single-use disposable items should come into contact with the skin.
- Use of Clean and Fresh Ink: Tattoo ink should be stored and dispensed in a hygienic manner, with containers for mixing or dispensing used only once.
- Proper Aftercare Instructions: Artists should provide clients with clear instructions on how to care for their tattoos after the session to minimize the risk of infection.
- Regular Inspections: Tattoo artists should undergo regular inspections and training to stay updated on the latest hygiene and safety standards.
- Personal Health and Safety: Tattoo artists should be free of any contagious conditions and follow proper health practices, such as hand washing and using protective equipment, to maintain hygiene.
