Are there autoclave sterilizers with certification?
Most tattoo shops use these machines to sterilize some of the tattoo equipment. Be sure to keep an eye out for these, and also be sure to check the certification of the tattoo artist and to make sure that these certificates are still valid. Certification that has expired is not necessarily a good sign. What else is not in order? Could that be a sign that the sterilizers aren’t working properly? Get the picture? You want to definitely be on top of this. 3. New sterile needles must always be used Keep an eye out especially for this. If a tattoo shop isn’t using new sterile needs … where you can see them remove these fresh needles directly from an autoclave bag … then you should get out of there really, really fast. And never look back. So long as you pay attention to these three telltale signs of tattoo shop safety, you should find that you’re able to spot what you need to and avoid the more dodgy tattoo shops. There is one area worth mentioning… and that’s the at-home tattoo parlor. Wit
