Have you decided to get a tattoo?
Good, but watch out for true professionals.

Unfortunately today, for some, the tattoo has become a makeshift business, and many tattooist who improvise themselves as professional tattoo artists open studios in poor hygienic conditions or tattoos in pubs, clubs, beauty salons and motorcycle rally, without thinking to cause infections or diseases..but not only!!!
Even bad work. So beware of those who don’t respect these basic rules:

1. the studio should be separated from pre-studio.
2. check that the studio has sterilizers and ultrasonic
3. check the presence of disposable needles individually wrapped; same thing for instruments
4. Washable surfaces of work areas
5. Mini Color trays and disposable gloves
6. Make sure everything touched by the tattoo artist when he works is covered with plastic film type
7. Above all, look what the tattoo artist does; not touch around with dirty gloves and then defile
8. If you do tattoos at fairs, conventions, biker rallies, etc ... looks to be in indoors and clean place and not in dusty fields or where anyone can access.
9. Always ask to A.S.L. in your town (or where you want to do the tattoo or piercing) whether there are studios licensed by them.
10. And last but not least, view the photos of the work.

If you have a tattoo, you better do it well or do not do it at all, and remember that last a lifetime!

Why the needle and not the gun?

There are many jewelers who practice body piercing pistol and this is unacceptable!

We piercing professionals are totally opposed for many reasons, and people often do not realize that can get hurt to save itself.
Alas, many times the needle can be frightening, but it is only suggestive because the earring that is fired from the gun has not the head and can often torn cartilage.
The technique of the needle is completely safe and now I'll tell you why:
1) needle used by piercer is sterile and disposable, while the gun is not, and reused for thousands of people without being sterilized. In fact, the earring that is fired at high speed collects thousands of cell or flaps of skin and blood are deposited on the back of the gun and certainly not just an alcohol wipe is enough to sterilize. All the tools used by professionals are sterilized in autoclaves or ovens to 140 ° degrees.
2) the jewelry we use is surgical steel or titanium, the same materials used for medical implants and therefore fully compatible
3) the professional piercer knows how to advice and has studied healing times, sterilization, and the point where you can apply the piercing and the suitable jewelry.
Now, you are free to choose, but remember that in addition to risk bad infections, there are far more serious illnesses.

Always choose needle but do it safely from professionals.
