Cross-Contamination Prevention

Category: art

Strict protocols designed to prevent the transfer of germs from one surface or person to another.

This includes wrapping machines in plastic, using barrier tape on cords, changing gloves between tasks, and disinfecting the chair with medical-grade cleaners. It is the primary ethical and safety responsibility of the tattoo artist.

Common Examples

• Our cross-contamination prevention protocol includes changing gloves after every single interruption, even if the artist hasn’t touched the skin.
• Every surface in the workspace must be protected by a barrier film as part of our cross-contamination prevention standard.
