Solana Tattoo: Health & Safety FAQs

Updated: Sep 23

Here is a look at some common health and safety questions about Solana Tattoo Company. We aim to be the cleanest and safest shop in Colorado.


What is the training/experience of your artists?

All of our tattoo artists have different levels of experience and come from different backgrounds but all are well trained and up to date on blood-borne pathogen training and certifications. Requiring all artists are certified in blood-borne pathogen handling is beyond the requirements from the state and not something every shop offers.

Are your artists required to wear gloves? For your safety as well as our own, gloves are worn during all procedures.  Are all the needles from sealed containers and are pigment trays new? All needles are single use and come pre-sterilized from the manufacturer. Pigment trays and ink caps are all single use, as well.  Do you have a sterilization machine to clean reusable equipment? We utilize a medical grade Tuttnauer autoclave that is spore-tested quarterly. Where do your inks come from? 

Each artist uses their own selection of inks, but they all come from major, well-known brands such as Eternal, Solid, and Dynamic, as well as others. Which brand depends on the pigment selection and use.
