Sanitation
Before any tattoo, the tattoo station must be thoroughly cleaned with bleach and wiped down along with any materials that will be handled before each tattoo. Tattooing real skin is a process that can be dangerous and prone to serious infection if not prepared properly.
Below is a condensed step-by-step guide to sanitizing the workspace
Wash hands with antibacterial soap
Always wear latex gloves (gloves must be changed after handling of any unpackaged product)
Wipe down machine and all surfaces with bleach & water before and after
Wrap everything that is going to be touched with cling wrap (Chair, tray, bottles, machine, arm rest, power supply etc.)
Almost everything is single use and disposable
Scrap all disposable items after
