Safety 
Is Our #1 Concern

We operate our own in house sterilization lab.

Our equipment exceeds all State and Local health requirements & our sterilizer is one of the most advanced table top units that exists.

We use new pre-sterilized one time use needles for every procedure

We fully exceed all State of Michigan health requirements & exceed the CDC guidelines for autoclave testing

All tools used in the tattooing or piercing process are sanitized in a 5 part process.  Except when such tools are single use — such as needles
 

First: an ultrasonic cleaning unit removes all debris from the tool. 


second: tools are then manually washed, scrubbed, and rinsed. 

third: Tools are then autoclave sterilized.

forth: TOOLS ARE HELD IN QUARANTINE UNTIL OUR WEEKLY TEST COMES BACK NEGATIve

body jewelry is ultrasonically cleaned prior to sterilization

THIS IS THE SAME OR EVEN MORE STRICT SAFETY STANDARD THEN WHAT DENTAL LABS or small surgical clinics use


We conduct weekly spore testing on our autoclave. This ensures that our sterilizer is actually doing its job properly. tools that have been STERILIZED are held until a passing test is RECEIVED.

We have been doing this since we opened, before it was a requirement. 

Our safety testing is done by an outside lab and our records are available for your inspection upon request. Our most recent test results are always posted in the lobby on the front board.

We also run in-house sterilization load testing for each group of items processed.

This gives us real time information about the health of our equipment and works in conjunction with our autoclaves own internal sensors

Every surface in the tattooing and piercing rooms are sanitized with an operating room disinfectant before each client and after each client leaves. Procedure rooms are detail cleaned often including floors and non contact surfaces

Our HVAC system has a UVC disinfection system in the air return to sterilize air as its circulated throughout the studio. This has been proven to reduce the amount of virus, mold, and bacteria that is circulated throughout a building.

We believe in informed consent. Everything you need to know regarding safety, tools to be used, aftercare, and risks involved are gone over BEFORE the procedure is done. 

You are always welcome and encouraged to ask questions.  We never take shortcuts or chances when it comes to your safety.
