Tattooing Facts

Tattooing machines haven't changed much in the last 100 years, but there are some key facts to think about before dipping into the ink:

Think about removal before application: many people who jump into getting inked later dislike the design over time. Think hard about what you want against the cost/pain factor of getting it removed later.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not approve, nor regulate, the pigments and inks used for tattoos. In addition, few states regulate tattoo parlors, so visit several and get recommendations from friends before choosing where to go. It is up to you to find a safe, clean, reputable tattoo artist and parlor.
Ask questions about everything: from equipment to technique to inks. Know what kind of inks your tattoo artist uses to avoid allergic reactions or other adverse results. Organic inks are available in some places.

Choosing the Right Gloves

Barrier Protection
Wearing disposable gloves helps keep you and your products safe, clean and uncontaminated. A snug (but not too snug!) fit will be most comfortable and protect you best. Select a glove material based on the level of protection needed for your application.

Fit & Comfort
Our exam gloves should fit you well and feel comfortable. Latex has a high level of elasticity and memory, so gloves made from this material tend to fit the user hands very well. Nitrile gloves vary in softness and flexibility. Polyurethane gloves are soft, flexible and exert virtually no strain on the user hands. Vinyl gloves usually have a loose fit, but are soft and comfortable.
