How important is Hygiene for us?
Hygiene is a top priority for us. We follow strict protocols to maintain a clean and safe environment. We ensure that our studio is clean and sterile every day. We follow these essential steps:
- HAND HYGIENE: We wash our hands thoroughly with antibacterial soap and use disposable gloves during the entire tattooing process.
- SURFACE DISINFECTION: We clean and disinfect all surfaces, including tattoo chairs, tables, and equipment, using medical-grade disinfectants.
- SINGLE-USE EQUIPMENT: We use single-use needles, ink caps, and disposable tubes for each client.
This eliminates the risk of cross-contamination.
4. STERILIZATION: All reusable equipment, such as tattoo machines and grips, undergo a rigorous sterilization process using an autoclave. This ensures they are free from any harmful bacteria or viruses.
In our tattoo studio, maintaining proper hygiene is not just a choice, it's a responsibility. By following strict protocols, we ensure the safety and well-being of our clients.
