Piercing Shops
Piercing Studio
If you run a piercing or tattoo shop, you know that hygiene is important. The focus on hygiene in tattoo shops is of great importance to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases and to protect the health of customers and staff.
An important measure to prevent infections in tattoo shops is the careful hand washing of employees and the wearing of disposable gloves. This prevents germs from being transferred from one person to another, especially if the skin is injured or during the healing phase after the tattoo.
Another important hygiene measure is the sterilization of instruments and equipment. This includes the use of autoclaves to sterilize all instruments and equipment that come into contact with the skin. It is important that all instruments and equipment are sterilized before each use and that all employees are informed about how to carry out this measure. The CertoClav Class B Pro autoclaves are excellent for this application.
Another important factor regarding hygiene in tattoo shops is a clean working environment. This includes cleaning and disinfecting work surfaces and equipment, as well as regularly ventilating the studio to ensure good air quality.
It is also important that tattoo shops have adequate hygiene facilities, such as soap and paper towels for hand washing and disposable towels for wiping surfaces.
Overall, scientific literature shows that adherence to hygiene standards in tattoo shops is of great importance to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases and to protect the health of customers and staff. It is important that tattoo shops follow strict hygiene measures and ensure that all employees are informed about the essential hygiene practices.
The Best Autoclave for Your Piercing and Tattoo Shop
For use in tattoo shops, we recommend our CertoClav Class B Pro autoclaves. The autoclaves comply with current and future guidelines for piercing and tattoo shops. The autoclaves have a built-in printer and a USB port. Given the size of the materials to be sterilized, a 12-liter autoclave is usually sufficient. This autoclave does not require an external water connection and is very space-saving. Do you have any questions or would you like a free consultation? Please do not hesitate to contact us.
Minimum Requirements for a Piercing Shop
Through the quick and thorough sterilization of instruments, a CertoClav autoclave ensures that you have sterile and hygienic tools available in your piercing shop. At CertoClav, you will also find self-sealing sterilization paper to store your tools hygienically packaged.
What Do You Need to Consider as a Tattoo Artist?
You must comply with legal guidelines. It is important that you use an autoclave if you want to use your tools with multiple customers.
- Pre-clean the instruments/tools with an ultrasonic cleaner and approved cleaning solution
- Then pack the instruments and sterilize them with a Class B Pro autoclave
- Once a sterile package has been opened, its contents must be re-sterilized before reuse.
At CertoClav, you will find everything for your piercing and tattoo shop. In addition to an autoclave, you will also find ultrasonic cleaners with accessories.
Reliable Sterilization of Piercing Instruments
An autoclave of type "Class B" compliant with the EN13060 standard and minimum documentation requirements is the only officially approved means to cost-effectively sterilize piercing instruments yourself. It is not only fast but also a reliable method. After autoclaving, your piercing instruments are 100% sterile.
Ultrasonic Cleaners for Your Tattoo Shop
In addition to autoclaves, we also have ultrasonic cleaners for your tattoo shop. Before you can sterilize your instruments, they must first be cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner. Please also read our article on ultrasonic cleaners. Such a device ensures that the instruments are free from dirt, blood, and other residues. The cleaning can theoretically also be done by hand with a brush, but ultrasonic cleaners are significantly more time-saving and more reliable in the final result.
