STEP 3: Choosing the proper Tattoo Studio
- Tattoos last forever!
- Check the autoclave and sterilization certifications
- Check that the artist wears protective gloves
- Check artist certifications
- Is the artist vaccinated for Hepatitis B?
- Make sure that the equipment is clean/new. Ointments, ink, water, should be taken from seperate containers
- Cleanliness counts: Tattoo parlors are becoming more mainstream, but don't take it for granted that the place is clean. Ask for a tour and be discriminating when deciding about the cleanliness and quality of the establishment.
- Sterile needles should be taken from an autoclave bag in front of you. After use the needles should be disposed of appropriately.
- Fresh inks: Colors come from inks, and every ink should come from a bottle that's poured into a small cup specifically for your tattoo. Just as you don't want to share needles, you don't want to share inks. If ink remains after a tattoo has been completed, it should be thrown away.
- Check to see examples of artist designs, and also pictures of finished designs.
- Take the time to shop around. Check out many different artists
