Here at Borderline Tattoos we're very serious about our sterilization and
hygiene. All instruments we use are properly sterilized in an autoclave.
The autoclave we use is a brand new state of the art Mocom Exacta, which
has an initial vacuum through pump that enables the efficient extraction
of air, allowing for optimal steam saturation and penetration. It also has
separate tanks to prevent recycling for constant use of pure water and to
increase the life of the sterilizer.
We use only single use needles for piercings, which are disposed of in front of the client into a sharps bin. All instruments are autoclaved.
Remember it is important which studio you choose to get tattooed and pierced
at. Make sure any studio you visit follow all safety and hygiene practices.
If they hesitate on any questions you ask them about sterilization then
go and find another studio where you'll feel comfortable.
