Every piercing performed follows a strict procedure to ensure the safety of the client. All jewelry is sterilized in a Statim 2000 right before the procedure. All needles, skin prep, disinfectants, and marking tools are single use. All tools are disinfected and sterilized in an autoclave after one use. Sterile gloves are used for the actual piercing procedure, while disposable gloves are removed and changed after each step of the disinfecting process. Bloodborne Pathogens, First Aid and CPR certifications are also renewed annually.
