- I wash and disinfect my hands before and after every procedure, following the Federal Office of Public Health (BAG) handwashing guidelines.
- I wash and disinfect my hands after using the restroom.
- I disinfect my hands after removing disposable gloves, especially when contact with pathogens is likely, as undetected leaks or improper glove removal can lead to contamination.
- I disinfect my hands after contact with clients.
- I maintain strict hand and nail hygiene: I wear no jewelry or nail polish, and my nails are kept short.
- In the treatment room, I do not wear street clothing or shoes. I wear work clothes that can be washed at 90°C and designated work shoes.
Client Guidelines
Clients are asked to:
- Hang jackets or coats in the entryway.
- Remove their shoes in the designated area.
- Follow proper handwashing guidelines (as recommended by BAG).
- Sneeze/cough into a tissue or their elbow.
Premises & Cleaning
- The studio has a closed treatment room with only one workstation.
- All floors have wipeable surfaces for easy cleaning.
- A strict hygiene plan is in place for cleaning all rooms, floors, work surfaces, and door handles. Surfaces are disinfected before and after each appointment.
- Hands-free trash bins are available. A new disposable waste bag is used for each client.
Materials
- Color tracking is ensured through detailed documentation.
- All inks, soaps, and creams are vegan and cruelty-free.
- Ink expiration dates are regularly checked.
- Water used during tattooing is boiled for safety.
- All tattoo materials are logged.
- I use ecological, plant-based disinfectant (Sonett brand) from certified organic sources.
- Single-use materials are used for safety.
- Most disposable materials (except grip covers, bed covers, and ink cups) are from ECOTAT, made from natural, renewable plant-based resources. ECOTAT products offer a sustainable alternative to traditional fossil-fuel-based disposables, being thinner and lighter than plastic covers yet equally durable. Using ECOTAT reduces the environmental impact of tattooing.
Inspection & Certification
My last voluntary inspection and certification was conducted by EYECO in May 2021.
Special Measures
- All Federal Office of Public Health (BAG) hygiene and behavioral rules are followed.
- If illness is suspected, the appointment must be rescheduled.
- Clients should attend their appointment alone (no accompanying persons).
- Clients must wash and disinfect their hands before entering the studio, following proper handwashing protocols. Desinfectant is available at all times.
- Clients are asked to avoid touching unnecessary objects.
