What do you do to prevent disease transmission?
- All needles, both tattooing and piercing are single-use. Other items
such as clamps used in piercing and tubes used in tattooing are autoclaved.
The autoclave is monitored monthly to insure it is working properly, and
results are posted on the wall. Gloves are worn for every procedure. We
practice Universal Precautions and are in compliance with all Department
of Health regulations. We are happy to answer any questions you may have
about this. We strongly believe that an informed public is our best customer.
