If you run a piercing or tattoo business, you know that hygiene is important. Focusing on hygiene in tattoo stores is essential to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases and protect the health of customers and employees.

One important way to prevent infections in tattoo stores is for employees to wash their hands thoroughly and wear 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 sterilization of instruments and equipment. This includes using autoclaves to sterilize all instruments and equipment that come in 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 perform this measure. The CertoClav Class B Pro autoclaves are ideally suited for this application.

Another important factor in terms of hygiene in tattoo stores is a clean working environment. This includes cleaning and disinfecting work surfaces and equipment, as well as regularly airing the studio to ensure good air quality.

It is also important that tattoo stores have adequate hygiene facilities, such as soap and paper towels for hand washing and disposable towels for wiping surfaces.

Overall, the scientific literature shows that maintaining hygiene standards in tattoo stores is of great importance to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases and to protect the health of customers and employees. It is important that tattoo stores follow strict hygiene measures and ensure that all employees are aware of key hygiene practices.

The best autoclave for your piercing and tattoo business

For use in tattoo stores, we recommend our CertoClav Class B Pro autoclaves . The autoclaves comply with current and future guidelines for piercing and tattoo stores. 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 efficient. Do you have any questions or would you like a free consultation? Please do not hesitate to contact us. 

The minimum requirements for a piercing store

By sterilizing the instruments quickly and thoroughly, a CertoClav autoclave ensures that you have sterile and hygienic tools available in your piercing store. At CertoClav you can also find self-sealing sterilization paper to store your tools hygienically packed.

What do you have to observe as a tattoo artist? 

You must comply with the legal guidelines. It is important that you use an autoclave if you want to use your tools with several customers.

1. Pre-clean the instruments / tools with an ultrasonic cleaner and approved cleaning solution.
2. Then pack the instruments and sterilize them with a Class B Pro autoclave.
3. Once a sterile package has been opened, the contents must be re-sterilized for reuse.

At CertoClav you will find everything for your piercing and tattoo business. Besides an autoclave, you will also find ultrasonic cleaners with accessories.

Reliable sterilization of piercing instruments

An autoclave of the type "Class B" or "Class B" compliant with the standard EN13060 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 cleaner for your tattoo store

In addition to autoclaves, we also have ultrasonic cleaners for your tattoo store. Before you can sterilize your instruments, they must first be cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner. Please read our article about ultrasonic cleaners. Such a device ensures that the instruments are free of dirt, blood and other adhesions. Cleaning can also be done manually with a brush, but ultrasonic cleaners are much more time-saving and reliable in the end result.
