Tips For People Who Want To Get A Tattoo

Tattoos have been around along time but they seem to becoming more main stream lately. Look around. A lot of people around probably have at least one tattoo that you can see. They may even have some you can’t easily see. If you want to join the crowd and get a tattoo make sure you pick a reputable one that follow the guidelines set by regulators.

The process to start a tattoo parlor isn’t rigorous. Tattoo artists must complete a course on contagious disease transmission and then are awarded a license. Their businesses aren’t subject to inspection afterwards.

Be careful. Don’t just pick the first tattoo parlor you see. Take the time to learn about the tattoo artist before letting them permanently mark your body. Practically anyone can get a tattoo parlor license and set up shop.

When you visit a tattoo parlor, take a look around. Look and see if the spray bottles and brushes are wrapped in sealed packaging. Does the place look clean? It should. The staff should also display good hygiene. If so, get some further information by asking questions.

Find out about the sterilization process they use. Quality tattoo parlors use an autoclave for sterilization.

It pays to learn about the sterilization methods. Only go to a tattoo parlor that takes preventing the spread of infectious diseases seriously. Ask if they use EPA approved disinfectants to wash their hands and to clean the area to be tattooed.

If the tattoo parlor you visited doesn’t practice good hygiene and sterilization methods you should find another that does. If the tattoo artist becomes defensive when you ask questions it is a bad sign. It’s worth it to find a safety-conscious tattoo artist.

Don’t be shy about asking for previously drawn designs and references. It will give you a good idea of what skill the tattoo artist has and if their previous customers were satisfied. A tattoo artist that won’t provide samples and references should be avoided.
