Contrary to popular belief, a large number of tattoo infections occur outside of the tattoo shop and not from the tattoo artist or shop itself. Licensed tattoo parlors keep their shops clean and only use sterilized and new products for tattooing. There’s a specific reason that tattoo artists clean the soon-to-be tattooed area with tattoo soap before tattooing. The tattoo soap helps clean the area of any dirt, debris, and breaks down dead skin while sterilizing and prepping the area. With such care and precautions being taken in the preparation stages of your tattoo, the likelihood that tattoo infections occur within the shop is significantly low.
That being said, there are reasons why tattoo shops give you specific instructions on the care and upkeep of your tattoo. This isn’t to be difficult or prevent you from taking your cool Instagram photos. This is strictly for your own health and the preservation of your tattoo. After all, it is an investment. Here are a few ways in which people become infected and how you can prevent that from happening to you. How Infections Occur
