All of Monsters' Ink staff have been certified by Health Educators Inc. for Bloodbourne Pathogens and Principles of Infection Control, as well as Sterilization Practices for the Body Modification Industry. Because we feel that this is so important it is something that we renew on a yearly basis. Monsters' Ink staff continually strive to exceed ALL Health board regulations and set a positive example for the tattoo industry. We use only professional/ medical grade products for our tattoo procedures. Single use sterile needles are used in each procedure. Autoclave sterilization is the only form of sterilization we use at Monsters' Ink. Autoclave spore tests performed by an independent medical lab are posted at the counter. We take tattooing seriously, we take your health seriously.
