The preparatory phase of tattooing

The preparatory phase of tattooing includes the tattoo-maker washing his hands with a disinfectant. This is followed by wearing rubber gloves. Some tattooists rub a certain kind of moisture-absorbing powder on their gloves that ensures the quick removal of any sweat or moisture. This is followed by spraying the tattooing area, including the seat on which the client is seated, with disinfectants. The tattooist is then likely to highlight the fact that all his tools have been sterilized and how the tattooing process will unfold to the client to ease any sanitation-related anxieties.

As a client, the tattoo seeker can choose to inspect the tool-carrying sterilized boxes. The sterilization process is repeated once the tattoo-earmarked area is shaved and marked. The process of repeating cleaning or wiping the tattoo continues during the process of tattooing, which often includes the use of some ointments to control any bleeding/swelling. After getting the tattoo also numerous sanitation-related precautions need to be maintained. This includes maintaining the bandaging, applying anti-infection ointments and even icing around the tattooed site if inflammation develops.

It is vital to be alert about the sanitation standards maintained by the Tattoo Artist. For instance, some tattoo-makers use a basic version of denatured alcohol for disinfecting their supplies but this is an outdated and ineffective method of sterilization. Some tattoo-makers also use alcohol as the ink-carrier. Alcohol creates the risk of allowing the dissolved chemicals to be absorbed into the bloodstream, directly raising the risk of complications like allergic reactions and infections. Again, many of the tattoo ink packaging(s) don’t provide complete details of the ingredients. Thus, questioning the toxicity of the ink’s ingredients is seriously recommended when seeking a tattoo.
