One of the main concerns for anyone who opens a tattoo business should be keeping their shop and tattoo equipment clean. Needles and tubes should be sterilized. There should never be a threat of spreading germs or diseases.

Sterilization of all needles is extremely important. The shop itself should also be kept swept and neat to avoid dusty or dirty conditions. Needles that have gone dull should be disposed of immediately and properly. Using dull needles can severely damage a person skin and can cause health, safety and legal problems. Many people choose to do their own work and will use the needles on their own skin more than one time. If you are doing this, or planning to do it, be sure to purchase a good sterilizer or autoclave to keep the germs and bacteria out of your skin. Infections are unpleasant and costly, in more ways than one.

Modern tattoo equipment creates permanent designs by injecting ink under the skin. The basic machine is a hand held device usually called a tattoo machine, iron, or gun. The most common type found in professional shops is an electromagnetic machine using alternating electromagnetic coils to push a needle-filled tube up and down. The needles break the skin. The tube pulls ink up into the needles, and the needles push ink under the skin.
