Liquid Amber Tattoo & Art Collective
Liquid Amber Tattoo is a health board-approved studio that has consistently passed inspections since opening in 2001. We welcome unannounced inspections and maintain strict cleaning and infection-control practices. Before and after every client, we disinfect workstations and appropriate equipment surfaces with OPTIM 33TB, allowing the required contact time before wiping. We use single-use covers for tattoo machines, wash bottles and clip cords, along with disposable bed drapes and ink caps. Ink is never reused. Single-use needles and tubes remain individually sealed until the client arrives. Used needles go into biomedical sharps containers for secure collection and proper disposal. Tattooing supplies are stored in a clean area and handled with gloves. Water used for cleaning and tattooing is distilled on-site and stored in BPA-free containers. Floors are swept and disinfected daily. Ink spills and potentially contaminated areas are cleaned promptly. Our medical-grade sterilization equipment is checked monthly by Germiphene to verify proper functioning.
