Our infection-control standards covering sterilization equipment, single-use supplies, and studio hygiene practices for every tattoo and piercing service.
All reusable equipment is sterilized using a medical-grade autoclave, with sterilization cycles logged and regularly tested using biological indicators to confirm effectiveness.
Needles, piercing needles, ink caps, gloves, and razors are single-use and disposed of immediately after each appointment. No needle or piercing implement is ever reused between clients.
Each workstation is disinfected and re-set with fresh barrier coverings before every client. Surfaces, chairs, and equipment trays are cleaned with hospital-grade disinfectant between sessions.
All artists and piercers wear fresh gloves for every procedure and change them immediately if contaminated. Staff are trained in bloodborne pathogen safety and follow strict handwashing protocols.
Piercing jewelry is implant-grade titanium (ASTM F136) sourced from certified suppliers, and tattoo inks are sourced from reputable, regulated manufacturers with documented safety data.
Before any procedure, clients complete a health intake form covering relevant conditions, allergies, and medications, which is reviewed by staff to confirm it is safe to proceed.
