As a tattoo artist all of these things are reasons I don't often get tattooed anymore. I know too much about how to be sanitary and most people dont care. Which is sad.
The more you know the scarier it gets. Even visiting dentist seems a different story when you pay attention to what's getting touched and when
@@TattooShopTalk yes! I worked in a lab for years and am fairly familiar with cross contamination. I'm genuinely worried for hygiene at GP and dentists now, and I live in the UK, not a developing country.
@@TattooShopTalkI just got a filling from a new dentist. They did the procedure and then when I got up to leave I look back and they are wiping the instruments with cavacide.🥲
A little late, but anyway: once I went to visit a tattoo artist that had tattooed me before. I was in the shop, waiting for him to come out into the reception so we could talk about our next project. He stopped in the middle of a work, he came out still wearing his gloves, and when he started to move around my forearm, pointing out some areas and explaining his ideas...he left a trace of fresh inky blood in my skin. Yeah, pretty nasty
I would have gotten up and walked out right then.
@@ktadlockart6862 Well, I was petrified at that moment, but at least that was the last time I talked to this tattooer and I never came back to his studio again! 🥶
Great Vids and really interesting!!! Thanks for making them and helping us out!!!
great video , like you said nowdays its more important to look cool and one thing iwe notice is that when the tattoo is finished they go straight for the cellphone for pictures , viping the tattoo and then trying to hold the phone where they think it was no contact with the skin with the same glove . and this is from fancy tattoo artists on the youtube that charge 2k per sessions , one can think that if you charge that much you would have afford to bring out a fresh pair of gloves for the photo . agree aswell with the grip tape , that thing protects nothing . if someone uses a pen i would not even get a tattoo from that person becuse many artist just takes some alcohol and vipe the inside off , its crazy how all these sponsored artists on different channels around the youtube makes these mistakes right infront of a camera live - dont know if they respect themself or there customers at all doing that
Yyeees !!! For example scratching face forhead- or head or picking their nouse .
Quick tip.... latex gloves bubble and start to deteriorate with petroleum based products so always go for nitrile glove although not as stretchy they are a much safer contamination barrier
People also say that you can develope allergy to latex over time by using gloves
@@TattooShopTalk I used to wear latex but then had to use nitrile when I changed labs as latex wasn't allowed. After a few years I started developing a reaction/sensitivity to nitrile and had to change to pvc.
Touched by an apron ewww...🤮 yeah, that trend makes about as much sense as grip tape as a barrier. Well done! Love the common sense you present here. 👏🏼👊🏽👍🏼
Nice stuff, mate. Thanks a lot.
Thanks
I always bag the grip before grip tape
I wish more tattooists would do that.
It‘s so sad but it’s true. I am a Tattoo artist myself and seen crazy things out there. Like the tattoo colours thing is so bad. Or the phone. A tattoo artist should never touch anything without removing the dirty gloves. Nothing ! How can it be.. seriously i‘ve seen really great experienced tattoo artists doing this short of mistakes. It’s tragic and sad. Clients should also be more strikt when it comes to this. Please be careful when you are getting a tattoo!
Exactly - sad but true. Clients often don't know what's going on, mostly they see gloves and that's good enough.
I notified the artist who did one of my tattoos he should change his gloves after he had touched something. He didn't seem to care and wasn't receptive. He'd already started on me, I was already in the chair. It's a lot of social pressure to just sit and deal with it instead of walk away. I was extremely uncomfortable the whole time and haven't dared to get any more ink in almost ten years because of it despite wanting lots more. This was an expensive well respected studio in a capital city in North Europe.
I use all three on my machine: first plastic sleeve, then paper towel wrapped around it, and then the grip wrap haha it just makes it all nice and thick and cushy
Same here
Very informative!!
Thank you
The first studio i tried to "apprentice" in, didnt even have bio waste bins there was a pile of bin bags tucked away in a cuboard with all kinds of waste in there. The excuse was ... if the local council hadnt made it a rule then it doesnt matter ... i was like wow man ... the ignorance of some people 😂
That is interesting attitude there and it happens all the time
Ive tattooed for 26 years now and i walked into a local shop just to check them out one day and i see two different artists working off the same table doing tattoos on two different people. and when i said something needles to say im the bad guy because i came into their shop and said something. go figure rite...
Every shop or sometimes every tattooist is like little closed kingdom where every outside opinion is defended with - what do you know and I don't care defence
Damn that's some shiiit, I aint tryna be blood brothers with everybody in the shop like that 😱
Would you do a video of tattooing certain types of skin whether be smooth condition skin or rough calloused dry skin and the way to approach a session ?
That is a very good topic. Unfortunately we don't have a lot of experience in that area and if there is anything we are not sure about we always send people to consult with their doctors to make sure that it is safe.
fun to watch, thanks
Thank you very much
When i was in 6th grade me n some friends got ahold of a tattoo gun n some not so great ink n we all gave ourselves small tattoos n miraculously my tattoo actually healed up and didnt get infected
For infection you have to try hard. Still bold move for 6th grade.
This is so important. The guy who did my last tattoo wore a fabric apron that was clearly not disposable. He touched it with his gloved hands and then touched my body that he was tattooing, this happened regularly. I told him to change gloves once but he just didn't get it. The person who did my first tattoo had her long hair untied and she touched her hair with her gloved hand whilst she was working on me... This has completely put me off getting more ink despite having a folder with a couple of pieces I'd immediately get if I found an artist who knows how cross contamination can be prevented/reduced to as close to 0 as possible.
I feel dirty just reading this. Thanks for input
Great vid, thank you, do you mind if I share this in my group as a learning resource.
Thanks and feel free to share it
Also like a earlier comment lose the apron I don’t think it is agood idea what so ever unless disposable
this is real talk
Very informative...
Thanks for watching
Everybody always pay close attention to the process of beautiful flesh art don't cross contaminate 😷😷🙋♂️change your gloves ever time 😎 to all artist out there you people present color, inspiration, movement and style in this shaky unstable globe .
That is just plain beautiful what you said
Good gloves are very expensive but we need to be sure what we need for the ssion
With gloves it's like with many things you get what you pay for. Cheaper ones are thinner and break more often and you get more faulty one in the box. It is crazy how prices have gone up and quality down since all this pandemic but it is what it is
I only use self adhesive tape for my grip for comfort.
And that's what it's for.
Sad to say this seems like common sense and people don’t get it. I’m just glad these all check off in my experiences while being in shops or getting tattooed
Thank you for the vid. I always disinfect my gloves, throughout the whole process of tattooing and when I touch certain things... but also change them if necessary. Also I desinfect f.e. the ink bottle, which I use, before I start tattooing, so it is clean as well. Is that a way, how one can do it properly? :)
Keep in mind that lifespan of a glove is not too long. As for opening ink bottles common practice is to use paper towel to open it while still wearing fresh gloves.
Good vid 👍🤙
Thank you
The guy I apprenticed under was pretty nasty,
He would use a tub of aquafor and would leave the lid open on his tray. only If someone was looking he was change his gloves to get more aquafor
He used the same plastic and rubber disposable tube for each client.
He would tattoo off of a plastic table and “cover” it with paper towels.
And our shop was widely considered the best shop in the city...
That's some horror story
Hello there! May I know what’s your take in tattoo shops that practices only a 70% solution alcohol for cleaning the tattoo equipment? Especially when it comes to rotary machines and pen types.
And yes, I agree with the grip tape that only acts as a grip and not a barrier. I use a cling wrap and clip chord barrier to protect my adjustable grip
In my opinion alcohol is good for cleaning and details greasing skin... and for drinking. Sometimes it helps to scrub off some inks or stencil. As for equipment and surface cleaning there are specific products and you should use them.
I see. The shop I apprenticed in uses 70% alcohol for cleaning tattoo equipment after work. Reading more and more from outside sources and of course, the autoclave made me skeptic about it. I'll do more research. The master I had has really good cleaning and sanitation practice and I met him when he is already using disposable grips and tips, so I never really got to know how he cleans a now "old school" way. Thank you so much for your videos!
hey juris i had a question about the pen machines and is it safe to use the grips that come with the machine for example the aluminum grips that come with the mast saber or should i be using disposable grips always is there a way to use the same metal grips that come with the machine and wrap it safely ?
On mast type of machines you are better of using metal grip and wrap and clean it good
Got a horror story for ya! Was getting this tiny tattoo with some friends for a friend who had passed... there was this old dude who did mine, said he’d been tattooing like 35 years or something. Went to test the voltage and depth into the top of his own hand.... “yeah that’s good” and just straight into me before I realized what was happening! But at that point it’s like well it’s already done... let’s get this over with. He didn’t do it again from that point but definitely freaked me out
That's so weird. I'm sorry that it happened to you
That's the worst horror story I've ever heard. Was it possible he was messing with you as u look back? I had an artist say he was gonna shoot herion in his eye and he'll b right back lol
what in the world…
@@jah12879 nah that’s a really old school way of testing. Like before you had voltage readouts you could feel it in your skin and know if you’re right on or not. Like in the top of your hand between thumb and index finger.
I found out later his name was Rick Walters! RIP but super famous dude way back
That’s what they all think in my opinion all rotary should have disposable tubes or a auto clave I don’t think even with the plastic any tube used for tattooing should be auto claved or disposable bottom line you would not get away with that with a coil machine every rotarie should have a tube that’s thrown out bottom line or auto claved end of story
Can you make a video about green soap alternatives ? Do you know many artists who use dettol liquid soap with good results instead of green ? Have you heard anything bad about it ?
It's a good idea. But we have not found anything better than classic green soap. Have not heard about dettol liquid soap but in Denmark there is similar thing called brown soap which works alright and some people prefer that for price and availability in any shop reasons
Dr bronners or Mrs meyers
it is not a good idea, Dettol on opened skin!
When I prepare my work station, I wrap my paint bottles with film,when I finish tattooing and unwrap them again
That's popular yet unnecessary thing to do if you can keep them elsewhere. Plus it's good to change gloves more often than not... maybe stand up and stretch when you need to add more ink
Hi Juris, great video. I don't understand one thing. Everyone talks about some hygiene, takes all measures so that tattoo things don't become contaminated, and then the a guy who gets tattooed in a session of 2-3 hours takes a paper towel and wipes the damaged skin just like the paper is sterile?!? But we all know it's not!!
There also sanitary minimum and then there's good practice.
Also gloves r not sterile, n u have to grab them with bare hands.
I remember when I was 18 I went to a friend that was a tattoo artist and he would try to cut up his old shirts for wiping 😲😲😲 I was like get licesened then I'll be back
I have heard about using towels.... cut up shirts is next level
Damn.... that makes me sick to think about.
I saw someone try to use mcdonald's napkins from a happy meal.
Can you put back the linked videos ?
Do you guys change your cloth everyday then ?
I guess so ?
Which linked videos do you mean? And also which cloth are you talking about?
i dont see the link at czcams.com/video/2uH8Bnrwya0/video.html
1:48
i meant clothes sorry ( trousers and shirt) @@TattooShopTalk
Check it now link should work or search for Cross contamination UV test. And shirts change daily and for pants you can get away with apron@@jackfaciale
thanks a lot! love your channel cheers ;)
@@TattooShopTalk
bro told me to crack a cold one right when i cracked a cold one wtf lol
nice, but very short video. as a tattoo artist i know the hygiene is kind like sacred thing. it was the first think i been learning even before i did first line to fake skin. for me, and i think its the best way, when i learned to tattoo i did every, every single step absolutely the same way even it was for example disgusting pig skin i learn on. next thing was how to not fuck up the clients skin... there is so much to learn but nowadays every fucking blogger or influencer try to do tattoo, especially handpoke. they buy some needles, one black colour and thinks they are tattoo artist. selling their tattoos for ridiculous prices and making so much dangerous mistakes.... i did sacrifaced everything. i think you have to. if you take it seriously it has to be first and last thing for you and fun at same time. its pretty difficult and as i see all those wannabes assholes, its tragic. but they will finish soon, as they will not give to tattoos their maximum which is required...
Well said. Unfortunately I don't see people stopping tattooing that often. It always stays at least as a side hustle
because its so cool ;) new wave, socials, you can buy every material so easily.... i almost feel in Prague like the word - tattoo artist is swear-word.... i hope it will be better.. tattoo is not like playstation. you do it, or you dont do it. sad thing is that those weekend fucker tattoos takes prices down as they do it for few euros. and clients are stupid and even offensive that a ''real artist'' is so expensive and what the hell he think... anyway, very good videos man, its creme de la creme of youtube tutorials or talks.. in two years looking for some quality content on youtube or even internet, you all are between 4 people i saw who knows what to do and dont talk bullshit, and you show some really sacred secrets haha. keep up
*Update* 2021 Nitrile gloves are expensive as hell. Thank you for attention. :P
They are only 3-4 times more expensive since making this video
Also talking directly over the tattoo saliva spraying out of the mouth. 🤢🤢🤮🤮I preferr to have my tattoo in silence . I don’t want people coming up talking over it and stuff like that
There are some individuals around with extra rainy vocabulary
@@TattooShopTalk Extra rainy hahaha!
Why do tattoo artists dont prefer powdered gloves ? I love them .. some shop sont even sell them
Because you have to change them pretty often and things can get messy and you don't want to rub that powder into fresh tattoo. And actually I can't remember when was last time I have seen even medics using them.
because latex and nitril handgloves are the ones you need to use if you want your license (NL)
The tattoo artist don`t care and the customers don`t care as swell. The people call me crazy for this.
I´m about to quit tattoo for ever.
Yes many people don't care. I hope this video will make some to thing about it.
Quitting tattooing is such a rare thing - I have met only one guy in all my life who quit and it was because health reasons. When people say it is more like call for attention or a short period of being fed up with something
I went to work in a shop in the second day i saw the tattoo artist take the gloves off and walk away from the station and when he came back he start to remove the the tattoo machine cover without gloves and after do that he did not wash his hand,I was watching the other tattooist and every time he needed to dispose the paper towel paper he just opened the lid of the trash with his hands. I get in another studio, and they put the autoclave on the floor and also all material sterilized on the floor to dry in the wind.
You're doing an excellent job alerting tattooists. I would like to see a video more targeted to customers.
Thank you guys!!
Mouth covers, because conversations are bound to happen and saliva is bound to escape the confines of thy mouth
Good point. Thank you
Would be nice to have disposable aprons
They are really cheap and easy to use
"Gloves are very cheap"
They are. When I'm paying over €100 per hour, the artist should have no issue using a whole box of gloves in a 3 h session if needed. I'd happily pay more if that's needed for the artist to feel they can work as clean as needed.
