Open tattoo shops back up with certain restrictions such as : limit 10 people in a shop at once , and wearing face masks. Tattoo shops already have extensive experience and training in blood borne pathogens as well as cross contamination training. All shops go through a state inspection and are checked on randomly to ensure they are following guidelines set for safe and sterile operation.
Why is this important?
Covid 19 is affecting the economy in major ways and forcing people to make tough decisions for their families based upon recent events and work displacement. To ease the economical pain in our industry it is in our best discretion to open back up with these limited restrictions. Moreover the quarantine was implemented to flatten the curve of the spread of covid 19 to ensure that hospitals were not overwhelmed all at once and to help prevent such rapid spread. The number of people infected is currently on a decline and the numbers aren’t as bad as once projected. Additionally Tattoo artist are trained and certified in blood borne pathogens and cross contamination as well as many other medical safety and sterility procedures. We also abide by the Department of fair trade by keeping records of every individual that receives art work. This is a great way to keep track of who comes in and out.
