Hygiene & Safety

Tattooing and piercing break the skin and leave permanent results — which is why hygiene is not something we negotiate on. The standards we work to and the training we have completed are set out below.

Our Studio Standards

  • Every procedure uses a single-use needle, opened from its sterile packaging in front of the customer.
  • Reusable metal instruments (forceps, clamps and so on) are autoclave-sterilised after every use.
  • Work surfaces are disinfected before every customer and covered with a single-use drape.
  • Single-use sterile gloves are worn throughout the procedure.
  • Needles and sharps are separated in line with clinical waste procedure.
  • Inks and solutions are decanted into single-use caps; anything left over is never used on the next customer.
