TATTOO PROCEDURE:
  1. First the tattoo artist will wash his or her hands with a germicidal soap.

  2. The tattoo area on your body will be saved, cleaned and disinfected. Make sure a clean razor is used.

  3. The tattoo artist will put on clean, fresh gloves (and possibly a surgical mask).

  4.  A stencil of the picture will be applied. At this point you can see if the stencil is applied to your liking. Keep in mind that if the position of the stencil does not look good to you just ask your artist to re-position it. This is no big deal.

  5. The tattoo artist will explain the sterilization procedure to you and open up the single-use, sterilized equipment (such as needles, etc.).

  6. Colors are now selected and put into individual ink caps that are disposed of when the tattoo is finished. Inks should NEVER be returned to the ink bottle, and if an ink cap runs out of ink, a NEW ink cap should be filled for use.

  7. Using the tattoo machine (with a sterile, single-use needle attached), the tattoo artist will begin drawing an outline of the tattoo under your skin. The outline of your tattoo is very important. A bad outline means a bad tattoo. So remember not to move..

  8. The outline will be cleaned with antiseptic soap and water.

  9. Sterile, thicker needles will be installed on the tattoo machine, and the tattoo artist will start shading the design. After cleaning the area again, color will be injected.

  10. Any blood will be removed by a sterile, disposable cloth.

  11. When finished, the area which has been tattooed will be cleaned one more time and a bandage will be applied.
