At Gargoyle Tattoo it is very important to us to operate in a safe, clean environment for our client’s safety and ours. We continually educate our staff and follow current sanitation standards.
Sterile tattoo needles are used for one procedure and then disposed of in a sharps container. Tattoo needles are NEVER re-used.
Tattoo ink is dispersed into single use “Caps” that are disposed of after use. Tattoo ink is not used from a common well to prevent cross contamination. Tattoo ink is NEVER re-used.
All our work surfaces are disinfected with a medical grade, OSHA approved cleaner. Hands are washed regularly and gloves are worn during all procedures at all times.
Instruments are soaked, hand scrubbed with a medical grade detergent, ultrasonically cleaned, dried, sealed in a sterilization pouch, and run through an autoclave (sterilization chamber). Sterile instruments are then stored properly until their use.
--Our autoclave is tested once a month by an outside lab to assure it is working properly.
