I noticed an error in the way you bag your greensoap bottle. wrapping it from the top causes the bottom of the bottle to touch the dental bids which become contaminated during the tattoo session. Personally, I bag it to the bottom… just my 2 cents.
You should be at the hardest part keep going right when i was gonna quit i got aset of machines that day and my own booth ....keep going!i would never be able to get a job making the money i do
@@Chaotictattooo yeah its been yough on everyone i just went back to eork last week im super busy but if it wasnt for the clientele i built up in my beach communkty id be screwed the beach is closed their no walk ins right now its a bummer alot of people are changing careers all i can say is if you truely love tattooing keep going do not let this stop u their so much info and ease of getting your machines is so much easier then when i started in the 90s
Thanks for the video, nice to confirm that I do everything right ha! I would suggest a hand wash between glove swaps just Incase there’s ink/blood on your forearms/wrist. 👌🏼
Ah! Yes! I do this, totally forgot to put it in. Thank you for commenting this. Its weird trying to explain something you do everyday and trying to break it down step by step Haha
Also another thing to consider (and before I say this just know that your setup and breakdown is closest to perfect that I have seen on RUclips). For your squirt bottle it would be more effective to bag it from the bottom. Like drop it in a sandwich bag, because if it is sitting on your table then the bottom of the bottle could potentially be a cross contamination risk for your clean table after you break down. When I set up I drop my soap bottle in a sandwich bag so that the bottom doesn’t actually touch the table. Then when I break down, I use a clean hand/dirty hand method and grab the top of the bottle with my clean hand and pull the dirty bag off with my dirty hand. Maybe I’m over thinking this but I just thought I’d point that out.
Good to know that I've been doing a good job keeping stuff clean and neet from the very beggining. Another thing I also do is always clean the plastics wrap box since it came out of a store and I want no germs on my gloves before I'm about to do something right lol Great video/s, thanks for helping me learn how to be professional from the very begging of my career :) Greets from Croatia! :)
The best video about the topic I've seen so far, especially from the USA. I'm a tattooer from germany and in general consider americans much more "open minded" concerning hygiene. I would get a tattoo from you without any doubt.
Inhale Death wow that really means a lot. It is really concerning to me the way tattoo artists treat hygiene.. also the way machine, ink, and supply companies will promote artists that are blatantly disregarding people’s health and safety. Thanks for the support !
@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial You're very welcome. I'm wondering why this video doesn't have more views. It's the only good one about the subject on youtube. I especially like how you go into details like wiping the stuff with different pieces of paper towel. Never seen that in any other videos. Wish you the best for your channel and your future.

@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial No probs Bobs. One of the better, to the point, vids. So much easier to follow than others and better tips, like the clip-cord wrap! Keep up the great content! :)
Newbie here. I used to work in a lab, and we are quite picky there, so maybe I am going too far. During the set up you touch with your gloves some bottles (and the box of the plastic wrap) which have been in a supermarkt or whatever, and may carry germs. Also I find a problem with the stencil. We clean the skin before applying the stencil, but the stencil has been in my drawing table or a printer or whatever, in any case no germ free. Should I worry about that, or just focus on not transfering any blood from one customer to the next?
Helloo 😊 I've been finding your channel super informative, I have a question. Most of the setup videos I've watched dont show anyone switching gloves during their setup, personally I've been going through 3/4 pairs of gloves at least when setting up, making sure I don't handle anything on the outside that is going to potentially touch a clients skin, so for example when you opened the disposable grip you handled the packet with your gloved hands and then handled the grip? Im super confused as to how that's not now contaminated? 🤔😬
Great video! Thank you! Do you have a recommended list of everything needed to start from scratch? I am ordering everything for the first time. Thanks in advance for any tips or wisdom you've got!
Cant seem to find opticide max wipes in the uk can anyone advise what other wipes with fast kill time and won’t take paint off machine are available in uk
How did you buy the Axys Vanhalla? I'ven been traying to order one, but I'm from Portugal and I want to avoid the machine to get stuck on custom and to pay the feeds that makes it to expensive! Can you help me bro?
do you change gloves after wiping something down before getting another wipe, i have to touch my optim bottle in order to get another wipe, sooo is it best to change gloves, or is it okay to keep them on
I just take the amount of wipes out at the beginning. I know how many I need to use for each break down since I’ve done it so many times. I only change gloves after I broke everything down. Then a clean pair for wiping everything down.
I don’t change gloves during set up unless I have to touch something like my phone or something that has nothing to do with the tattooing process. During tear down tho, after taking off all plastic barriers and dirty parts of the station I change gloves before disinfecting everything
Seventh Trumpet Tattoos thank you so much! Been using a good amount of gloves making sure I wasn’t doing something wrong or cross contaminating anything.
What are the rules in youre state for porous materials in youre work station? I got virtually the same tool bench and the inspector said I needed to lose the pegboard or cover it in vinyl :/
Right on man, I’m in Maine and apparently the wood pegboard wasn’t up to her liking when she did the walk thru :( You’re video is actually why I bought this bench. Might not be the same brand but it’s very very similar like you can’t really see a difference.. harbor freight ran a good deal on it and I saw a pro using it so I went with it! But no biggie il just cover the pegboard in vinyl like she requested. Thanks for the reply sir
@@EnserYT if you are serious about tattooing definitely get a mentor. There are alot of important things to learn! And the machine I have in this video is a great all around machine. The axys Valhalla

No mention of the importance of autoclaving metal reusable pen grips or using disposable pen grips. Cartridges are useless when you are handling and switching them during the tattoo process and laying them on contaminated tray. It causes ink and blood to get up inside of grip. Opti-cide is not a cold sterilization according to CDC. And all reuseable instruments such as grips should be steam autoclaved. A cold sterilization is for plastics and other items that can not with stand heat and it takes 3 -12 hours submerged in chemical.
Dii ok not need gloves to set up your station. This is misinformation. Your hands once cleaned with soap and water are the best barrier. Ask any doctor that touches you with clean hands instead of gloves.

Bottom of green soap bottle should be covered as well since it’s sitting on your tray... good vid...
U can wrap those plastic bags around the bottom n up. wrap it with grip tape to keep it still.

Is the foam grip cover good for 1 use only?
Awesome Bro liked the show more so the part of hiding evidence🤣😂🤣😂 hilarious keep it up much love from Kenya
Great video. Do you take off your Valhala grip and wipe under? Noticed you didnt do it in this video
Hello Sir. It s ok to put normal water just to clean the needls during the tattoo? Or we must use distiled water also? THank you good job!
now im start watch all your channel. i really want to learn tattoo
I love your video! I was wondering how u wash ur clothes or if you dispose them
Helloo 😊 I've been finding your channel super informative, I have a question.

Where can you get those medical disinfectant wipes? is it safe to order off amazon?
Question my man! Do you have to autoclave your machine here or should this process keep your pen and grip complete clean to reuse on another client?
perfect video!! thank you!!!
Some bacteria can send itself into a dormant state making it resistant to cleaners. That's one reason why following the kill time is so important ❤
Great video! Thank you! Do you have a recommended list of everything needed to start from scratch? I am ordering everything for the first time. Thanks in advance for any tips or wisdom you've got!
Jennifer Huisinger you could ask your mentor for that list. That person would know your skill level and what you will need best!
Do u work alone at youre shop so awesome !! And inspiring !!
Thankyou
Thank you!

Is the Opti-Cide Max also hydrogen peroxide based?

I just take the amount of wipes out at the beginning. I know how many I need to use for each break down since I’ve done it so many times.
I only change gloves after I broke everything down. Then a clean pair for wiping everything down.
in the setup up how often do you change gloves between setting up the equipment, wrapping and grabbing ink caps and ink and such.
I don’t change gloves during set up unless I have to touch something like my phone or something that has nothing to do with the tattooing process.
During tear down tho, after taking off all plastic barriers and dirty parts of the station I change gloves before disinfecting everything
Seventh Trumpet Tattoos thank you so much! Been using a good amount of gloves making sure I wasn’t doing something wrong or cross contaminating anything.
Hi awesome video, I just wanted to varify that it’s okay to use Opti-Cide Max to clean your machine and grip if you don’t have access to a autoclave ?
where did you get your armrest thooo
Tatsoul maybe? It was so long ago I forget
Is there specific types of drawings to show when u go for apprenticeship?
I literally just showed up to a shop with a portfolio of my graphite drawings. Mostly portraits and a month later I got hired
Random side question.. Where did you get your ring light? I want one for my station!
I think it was amazon.
I had it for almost 2 years and it recently just broke :/
Your tray seems very large. Where you buy it?
I actually was given it. Idk where the guy got it
Soooo clean! ♥️, im a 15 year old tattoo artist from philippines. My name is MARK SADIAN
What are the rules in youre state for porous materials in youre work station? I got virtually the same tool bench and the inspector said I needed to lose the pegboard or cover it in vinyl :/
Nothing in PA about that. I do need to replace that bench soon actually tho I’ve had it for like 7 years

Do you change gloves between putting on the stencil and setting up your station? Very helpful, thank you!
I set up my station before the client gets there. But yes I would change gloves either way.
should you be doing this when you are doing practice work on fake skin?
Yeah, you should. Just to get into the habit of it so it becomes second nature.
Hey man. Can we talk I need to ask for something..how can I contact you
You could message me on instagram tattoosbytyler_st
Well even if you didnt break out the needles and ink ya did sacrifice some disinfectant wipes :)~ GD VID
What alcohol did u use for the station?
Muhammad Axel Valeri it’s just the alcohol I use to clean the skin before putting the stencil on.. 91% isopropyl alcohol..
I dont understand why artist wrap up everything in sight and then leave their arms uncovered
I do wrap my arms. They are called sleeve guards.
@@ThatTattooGuyOfficial regular cloth ones or medical ones? Which ones you use?
Medical ones.. who would use cloth? 😕
