All of Tattoo Charlie’s studios are geared towards your safety. We take every precaution to assure the safest tattooing and piercing environment possible. That means the only thing you have to worry about is what design to get!

All equipment at Tattoo Charlie's is done with sterile equipment, sterilized at

              * 285 degrees
              * 30 minutes
              * 15 lbs. steam pressure

We use Ritter autoclave steam sterilizers. Autoclave sterilizers are the only accepted standard in sterilization and are used by hospitals, doctors offices, and health care professionals worldwide. Fire, boiling water, bleach, or other forms of cold sterilization may disinfect, but do not by any means kill or stop the spread of all transmittable diseases. All pigments, needles, tubes, and other supplies are single service - used only once - and then disposed of.

We spore test all of our sterilizers once a month through North Bay Bio-Science testing services to insure proper operation. This gives you 100% assurance of a sterile product every time.

We only use disposable tattoo tubes. This is a plastic tube that holds the needle bar. It is made of a plastic resin that is designed to be autoclavable only once. If it is autoclaved more than once, it will begin to deteriorate. Using fully disposable equipment is the ONLY safe way to tattoo.

Our pigments are specially formulated for tattooing. These are not india inks, food coloring, or paints of any form. New rubber gloves are always worn for each individual customer to insure everyone's protection.

We take pride in our reputation as one of the nations cleanest tattoo studios. One visit will convince you that we have earned this reputation by our dedication to using the safest and most hygienic methods possible.

No matter what studio you choose to be tattooed in, these are the things you should be looking for.  If you ask questions about safety procedures and they are not answered to your satisfaction you should leave.  A tattoo can be a totally safe experience if done with proper procedures.
