With the lack of state regulations regarding tattooing you should watch out for dirty shops. Good artists follow a protocol. A good artists workspace Is usually like a doctors office, only with cooler art. They take care of their equipment and insure there is no cross contamination.

This doesn’t seem like its a big deal. And if you are getting a tattoo its probably the last thing on your mind. You probably have your local shop or shops in mind and take this subject for granted. Well don’t. Who wants to contract HIV or Hepatitis when getting a tattoo? Not I.

Check out your artist and his/her reputation, Ask about their sanitation policy, and possibly drop in a couple times before your appointment. Yes, a tattoo is forever, but a disease will kill you.
