We do follow
Hygiene Protocol
Tattooing is very safe when done under the right conditions, and using the right materials and hygiene standards.
Some of the most important safety basics include:
- The artist should be professionally licensed
- The tattoo shop should use new materials and clean equipment
- The tattoo artist should always wear plastic gloves
- The tattooing surface should have a clean, water-proof layer
- Ink should be in individual cups
- The shop should be clean
All the tattooing equipment should be sterile and cleaned with an autoclave. Some equipment, like gloves, masks and needles, should be new and properly disposed of after each use.
The following hygiene guidelines have been followed by the INKredible tattoo studio. The main intention was to create a standard that is easily understandable and easily applicable in practice, focusing on a minimum standard level that guarantees 100% safety for tattooists and customers at the same time.
Safety All The Way
As part of its innovative Safe Tattooing approach, edding accepts full responsibility for all elements of the tattooing process, from proprietary edding tattoo ink, manufactured in Germany according to EU standards, through to expert tattoo services and professional aftercare. This overarching commitment to quality is unique in Germany. We call this our Total Responsibility approach, which we believe creates transparency and raises consumer safety and protection to the highest possible level from our point of view. At edding TATTOO, we never compromise on safety or artistry.
Clean Business
The following measures are in place in the studio to ensure customer safety:
- Clear separation of our tattoo area from the lounge area
- Sealed, wipeable surfaces in the tattoo area for the highest possible standard of hygiene
- Use of disposable furniture and device covers in the tattoo area
- Thorough cleaning and disinfection of the workplace before and after each tattoo session
- Thorough cleaning of the entire tattoo area at the end of each day
- Visible cleaning policies and certificates
- No-contact water taps
Hygiene from A to Z
Before tattooing:
- Disinfection of all surfaces, devices and materials to be used
- Covering of the tattoo chair, work table, devices and materials to be used with hygienic film
- Unpacking and preparation of sterile, disposable ink caps, disposable razors and other necessary materials
- Use of a disposable edding tattoo pen, which only contains ingredients approved in accordance with the German Cosmetics Regulation
- Disinfection of the skin and application of the stencil
- Tattooing with with sterile grips and needle modules
- Free, tailored wound care based on the size and location of the tattoo
- Disposal of all materials used in the corresponding waste bins
- Cleaning and disinfection of the workplace
No re-use
- The edding tattoo inks are exclusively bottled in small volumes in disposable, non-resealable packaging. This guarantees immediate use during your tattoo session.
- We mainly use Cheyenne tattoo machines, which are easy to clean and disinfect. A sterile needle module is used together with disposable grips.
- Our use of disposable grips and needle modules means we completely avoid sterilising machines, thus eliminating a tattoo hygiene risk.
- Our other equipment is also disposable, including gloves, ink caps, razors and spatulas. We use sterile products whenever invasive contact with your skin may arise.
Trainings
All our employees receive annual training in all current hygiene guidelines and legislation. They all have a certificate in first aid. Our tattoo studio team includes a hygiene officer who’s responsible for the continued development of and compliance with hygiene standards.
Protective equipment
Face masks are mandatory for all our tattoo artists, who also wear disposable gloves and aprons.
