I will now only consider shops that have nearly this level of preparation and protection. Thank you for making that clear. One my biggest fears is infection from improper care.
Great video Lou. You clearly provide a very professional service and take the health and well-being of your customers very seriously. Brilliant attention to detail.
Having your ink bottles near that "red zone" dental bib area is a big mistake. That area is considered bio hazard and can easily cross contaminate when the machine I running near that area due to ink and blood splatter.
Hi Lous, I am most impressed with your meticulous preparation. I have designed and manufactured the special Hypograph tattoo machine for many years now. Stopped by New York when I attended a tattoo convention in Philadelphia and had a great time. Perhaps I'm due for an action replay. If all studios were as dedicated to customers safety as in your excellent example, this form of art would be greatly enhanced. You're definitely setting the standards! Thanks for the video.

Thanks for the video. I'm a med student at SLU and I take time out of my schedule to teach kids in juvi various lessons. Today I'm teaching them about tattoo safety and this video helped a great deal. Thanks!
Awesome vid. One of the best ones on here. As I have seen some safety set up ones and they are touching al sorts and contaminating their sterile suface with the bottom of their spray bottles. THANK YOU you are very clear and I love listening to your advise POST MORE. please.
I think it's better to use an anti microbial hand soap instead, such as Provon. It also helps your tattoo or piercing heal faster. Available on Amazon.
Although I've always been opposed to getting a tattoo -it just seemed like an unnecessary risky decision that you're 99% certain to regret-, I am actually genuinely considering getting one now, in my 20s. I'll admit, when I was younger I even looked down on people who got tattoos. Not anymore of course, I realised how stupid and naive I was. Until yesterday, I still didn't think I'd ever get one myself though. But in my random research of Celtic, while looking through symbols and runes. I eventually ended up on nordic runes, specifically one rune called "Ansuz". The meaning og the rune, as with most ancient runes, is complicated and with multiple interpretations. But the general consensus is that it's a symbol of: knowledge, intelligence, and/or reason. This rune resonated with me because I've always been a curious individual, even as a child. Always eager to learn. I guess you could say that my life is a chase for knowledge. I respect logic and reason, and try my best to exemplify it. I somehow wanted to use this rune, as a symbol of my values and a reminder of what's important to me. I wanted to use it as a promise to myself, to always be reasonable and always learn new things. While thinking this, I had a passing thought. "What if I got this rune tattooed on my body?", it wasn't a serious thought. But the more I thought about it, the more it made sense. Ignoring the danger of a tattoo, my main problem with getting a tattoo was that no matter what I came up with, It'd be impossible to think of a tattoo I'd not regret later. But this rune, it's made me reconsider that. Maybe this is actually something I'd not regret It's a physical representation of what I've always "stood for" in life, and what I've always wanted to dedicate my life to. If there exists something worth permanently carving into my body, this is it. I'd also get to "use" the rune how I wanted. To the outside world, it'd be a representation of my values and goals. To myself, it would be a permanent constant reminder to not stray from reason or my search for knowledge. The permanent nature of a tattoo would make it a promise to myself I couldn't go back on, or forget. Finally, considering that the rune is Norse, and that I'm Norwegian. It'd also be a reminder to myself and others where I come from. When I am out travelling in the world (I've always planned to move from home and travel to other countries), it'd remind me of home, and of my family. The more I think about it the more perfect it seems. I'm still not sure if I'll do it, I'm still afraid of the dangers of putting poisonous ink inside my skin. So I guess I'm looking for reassurance of the safety of it. Trying to see if all the benefits are worth the risk.
I work with a doctor in emerg who says a visor or mask and safety glasses should be on the tattooist face due to micro (mist) of blood from client..may not be..alot but over time to protect the one giving the tattoo..his or hers safety? what are your thoughts?.. I found your way of explaining things to be very solid..accurate and safe..Thanks a Bunch:)
while it IS true i think most dont do it bc of an aestethic reason, also disposable glases may be expensive on the long run i guess... acording to the biosafety course for tatto artist i took, the regulations un muy country are that we should also use quirurgical gloves, not regular látex, wich are not sterilized, p much se should be equiped as doctors!
MrFRANZA, why don't you informing yourself before making such slanderous stamements? People like you are what causes lynch mobs. I have gotten two tattoos at Lou's, and both times the artists did exactly what was potrayed in this video. I will be getting my third in a few weeks, and will be returning to Long Island's best tattoo parlor. I'll never go anywhere but Lou's.
Dude, it is a good video BUT CLOSE THE FAUCET!!!!!!!!!!!! It might be not such a difference for you now, but for wvery person whou does what you do (keeping the faucet open and lose water while not using) there are millions of liters wasted and millions of children dying of thirst, our jungles, rivers and forests are disappearing. And I definitely want a green planet for my children, grandsons and future generations. Think about it. Great Videos thought!!!

I work in as a theatre nurse, and I must admit you are as sterile as we are. Great to see though, I've seen many infected tattoos.

How’d it go?
Awesome vid. One of the best ones on here. As I have seen some safety set up ones and they are touching al sorts and contaminating their sterile suface with the bottom of their spray bottles. THANK YOU you are very clear and I love listening to your advise POST MORE. please.
Great video. What about when you pushed the drop in the sharps container. Great video though
I think it's better to use an anti microbial hand soap instead, such as Provon. It also helps your tattoo or piercing heal faster. Available on Amazon.
What about the paper towels that are used during and afterwards.
This is an Important Video For New Tattoo Artist!
Take Care, Bill Kearney :-)
When the tattoo is finished,you’re supposed to throw away the old ink,needles,gloves & wash your hands in front of the client too.
You must to open in front of the customer too.

Thank you bro 💯 #california
great advice Lou
What about handling the actual machine and cables

What safety when you use your hands to open and close the tap. The water should be open and close just lke the garbage can.
could use automatic step on shoe sole cleaning machines with rotating brushes on the entrance to the building that every person must step on.
thank u I learn alot, about tattoo safety tattoos is my dream very positive.
Never seen those garbage cans before, can you get those in North America?
You look like Robert Halford
millennium moms and disposal tubes . that's a good dude right there
very useful thanks!
like it all except for Moms ink. fusion is awesome, pure/vegan friendly. Moms is so much harder to work in
Can I sue a tattoo artist for going way too deep and causing nerve damage
Hell yeah!
Not if you signed a waiver before the tattoo was done.
I got sick after getting a tattoo , nueropathy
Skin burning from inflammation
Sensitive skin
