Safety 
Is Our #1 Concern

We use new pre-sterilized one time use needles for every procedure

We fully exceed all State of Michigan health requirements & exceed the CDC guidelines for autoclave testing

All tools used in the tattooing or piercing process are sanitized in a 5 part process.  Except when such tools are single use — such as needles
 

First: an ultrasonic cleaning unit removes all debris from the tool. 

Second: Tools are submersed in a germicidal solution to soak. 

Third: tools are then manually washed, scrubbed, and rinsed. 

forth: Tools are then autoclave sterilized.

FIFTH: TOOLS ARE HELD IN QUARANTINE UNTIL OUR WEEKLY TEST COMES BACK NEGATIve

body jewelry is ultrasonically cleaned prior to sterilization

THIS IS THE SAME OR EVEN MORE STRICT SAFETY STANDARD THEN WHAT DENTAL LABS or small surgical clinics use

We conduct weekly spore testing on our autoclave. This ensures that our sterilizer is actually doing its job properly. tools that have been STERILIZED are held until a passing test is RECEIVED.

We have been doing this since we opened, before it was a requirement.  We also do testing at three times the rate that is legally required.

Our safety testing is done by an outside lab and our records are available for your inspection upon request. Our most recent test results are always posted in the lobby on the front board. 

Every surface in the tattooing and piercing rooms are sanitized with an operating room disinfectant before each client and after each client leaves. Procedure rooms are detail cleaned often including floors and non contact surfaces

Our HVAC system has a UVC disinfection system in the air return to sterilize air as its circulated throughout the studio. This has been proven to reduce the amount of virus, mold, and bacteria that is circulated throughout a building. We added this during the COVID 19 pandemic and continue to maintenance and operate it.

We believe in informed consent. Everything you need to know regarding safety, tools to be used, aftercare, and risks involved are gone over BEFORE the procedure is done. 

You are always welcome and encouraged to ask questions.  We never take shortcuts or chances when it comes to your safety.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q:  What is a "safety test?"

A:  When we use the term Safety Test we really mean a Biological Spore Test.  Every week we process a package that is known to be contaminated with (harmless) bacteria along with a regular load of tools.  This test is then mailed into a lab and they examine the test to see if any live bacterial growth is present.  A "passed" test means that the bacteria was eliminated.   Before visiting a new tattoo or body piercing studio ask to examine their spore tests RESULTS to make sure their equipment is operating properly.  

Q:  How do you disinfect hard surfaces, studio chairs?

A:  We saturate the surface in a operating room grade disinfectant before and after each client.   We also utilize plastic barrier films, and tray liners in addition to using CDC approved disinfectants (RATED TO KILL COVID19).   We do not use "bleach wipes" or drug store disinfectants.  

Q:  I have other questions...

A:  Feel free to stop into the studio of your choice and ask.   Studio staff, including artists, and our support staff  will have the knowledge to answer these questions, and will be able to take you on a tour of the clean room.   You may also contact the Macomb County Health Department, or visit www.Michigan.gov/bodyart
