Tattoo Needles, Hygiene, and Cleanliness
  • Do you use new needles for each client?

    Absolutely! Every needle is brand new, sterilized, individually packaged, and disposed of safely immediately after your tattoo session.

  • How do you ensure needles and equipment are sterile?

    All needles come pre-packaged and sterilized from certified suppliers. We use single-use, disposable needles and tubes to guarantee sterility and safety every time.

  • What hygiene standards do you follow in your studio?

    We adhere to strict standards set by Health Canada, including sterilization protocols, surface disinfection between clients, single-use supplies, and regular staff training in Bloodborne Pathogens and Infection Prevention & Control.

  • Can I see the needle packaging before my tattoo?

    Of course. Your artist will always open needle packages in front of you before starting the tattoo.

  • How do you clean your tattoo stations?

    Tattoo stations are thoroughly sanitized with hospital-grade disinfectants between each client. All disposable items are discarded properly, and reusable equipment is sterilized using approved methods.

  • Are gloves changed between clients?

    Gloves are single-use and changed frequently during each procedure to prevent any cross-contamination. Your artist will always wear fresh gloves while setting up, tattooing, and cleaning.

  • Is your studio inspected regularly?

    Yes, our studio is regularly inspected by public health authorities to ensure compliance with all health and safety regulations.

  • What can I do to ensure my tattoo heals safely?

    Follow your tattoo artist’s aftercare instructions carefully. Keep your new tattoo clean, moisturized, and protected from contaminants.

If you have any additional questions, feel free to ask your artist. Your safety and comfort are always our top priority.

  • What should I do before my tattoo session?

    Get a good night’s sleep, stay hydrated, and eat a solid meal beforehand. Bring snacks or an energy drink to keep your energy up during your session. Bonus points if you bring me snacks too.

  • Are gloves changed between clients?

    Gloves are single-use and changed frequently during each procedure to prevent any cross-contamination. Your artist will always wear fresh gloves while setting up, tattooing, and cleaning.

  • Can you cover up or fix an old tattoo?

     Yes, I offer cover-ups and reworks. Send me a clear photo of your existing tattoo and we’ll discuss what’s possible. Contact now.

  • How do I take care of my tattoo afterward?

    You’ll receive full aftercare instructions at the end of your session, including tips for healing and keeping your tattoo looking great long-term. 

  • Can I get my ex’s name covered up?

    Absolutely. I specialize in turning regret into really nice roses, skulls, or anything that isn’t your ex’s name.

  • What if I faint?

    Then you’ll be the fifth person this year. Don’t worry—we’ll catch you and maybe post a tasteful meme (with your permission, of course).

  • Can I bring my friend/mom/dog for moral support?

    Friends and moms—sure. Dogs? Only if they have a portfolio and are chill.

  • Can I drink before my appointment?

    Only if you want your blood to flow like a Quentin Tarantino movie. So, no—save the shots for after, and avoid alcohol and drugs for at least 24 hours before your tattoo.

  • What if I cry during the tattoo?

    That’s fine. I’ve seen tougher-looking people cry over tiny tattoos. No shame—just don’t wipe your tears on the stencil.

  • Will I regret this tattoo?

    Not if we do it right. But if you ask for a flaming skull riding a unicorn playing guitar... I’ll ask twice. Maybe three times.
