Tattoo Health and Safety
Dragon Moon Tattoo has your complete health and safety in mind before, during, and after the application of your tattoo.
All artists are required to explain tattoo procedures PRIOR to your receiving your new tattoo, discuss and answer all questions involving your safety, and thoroughly explain after care procedures. Our attitude is "The dumbest question is the one never asked!"
Dragon Moon practices Universal Precautions.
Universal Precautions is a very simple concept:
"ALL HUMAN BLOOD AND CERTAIN HUMAN BODY FLUIDS ARE TREATED AS IF KNOWN TO BE INFECTIOUS FOR THE HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS (HIV), THE HEPATITIS B VIRUS (HBV) AND OTHER BLOOD-BORNE PATHOGENS. "
For a complete overview of our infection control practices, please refer to: GUIDELINES FOR SAFE TATTOOING ®.
Most staph skin infections, including MRSA, appear as a bump or infected area on the skin that may be:
- Red
- Swollen
- Painful
- Warm to the touch
- Full of pus or other drainage
- Accompanied by a fever
