Permanent makeup is safe when your salon and artist follow strict health and safety guidelines. At Black Spade Tattoo, we adhere to all Health Department and CDC standards to ensure our clients are protected during every procedure. Here’s what you should look for to guarantee a clean and sanitized environment, reducing any potential risks:
1. Disposables: Anything that comes into contact with your skin during the procedure must be discarded after your appointment.
2. Sterilized Tools: All tools, especially needles, needle chambers, and covers, should be factory-sterilized and individually packaged.
3. Chemical Sterilization: Your artist must use chemical sterilization to eliminate microorganisms, bacteria, and viruses from all equipment.
4. Protective Gear: Your artist should wear disposable gloves, aprons, and face masks, which are changed before and after each procedure.
While permanent makeup typically doesn’t have long-term side effects, some short-term effects like redness, tenderness, and slight swelling may occur.
Microblading Safety Checklist
- Individually Wrapped Tools: The microblading tool should be individually wrapped and sealed before use.
- Sterile Blade: The blade must be individually certified as sterile with a visible lot number and expiration date. If these details are missing, the blade may not be safe for use.
Permanent Eyebrow Tattoo Safety Checklist
- Machine Wrapped: The machine used for permanent eyebrow tattoos must be fully wrapped in protective covering, usually blue or clear.
- Sterile Needles: Needles should be sealed in sterile packaging with a lot number and expiration date to confirm their safety.
Permanent Eyeliner Tattoo Safety Checklist
- Machine Wrapped and Sterile Needles: The machine must be fully wrapped, and needles should be sealed and sterile with an expiration date.
- Correct Positioning and Stretching: A well-trained artist is essential for permanent eyeliner. They’ll know how to stretch your skin correctly and position you safely to ensure your eye is never exposed to the machine.
Permanent Lip Blushing Safety Checklist
- Machine Wrapped: The machine should be fully wrapped, with blue or clear wrapping around areas that touch your artist’s hands.
- Sterile Needles: Your needle must be sealed and sterile, with a visible lot number and expiration date, and it should only be opened right before your procedure.
At Black Spade Tattoo, we prioritize safety and hygiene to ensure your permanent makeup experience is worry-free. We hope this guide helps you feel more confident about the safety measures we take for all our clients.
