Tattoos during the coronavirus pandemic – a little important and useful

While the coronavirus (according to information provided from official sources) is striding by leaps and bounds across the planet, people are trying to protect themselves from the disease. Some listen to the Ministry of Health and wash their hands, wear masks … Others buy toilet paper and canned food – apparently they have special data and information.

Naturally, common sense and logic dictates during this period to postpone the session with the tattoo artist, and the tattoo artist himself – to postpone the work for a while (By the way, this will be the safest option – DO NOT TATTOO!).

But, if, for unknown reasons, you suddenly found yourself in the armchair of the tattoo artist at this time, the tattoo process cannot be stopped, we suggest you read simple tips that will help to secure everything that happens and all the participants..

If you feel unwell, stay at home.

And it doesn’t matter if you are a client or a tattoo artist. Feeling “unimportant” – don’t go anywhere.

First thing you need to do is grab your phone and call your doctor..

Then, using the same phone, call the tattoo artist and tell them that you are ill, you cannot come. Especially if in a couple of days you saw your master – “it will be useful for him, it will be pleasant and joyful for him to learn about what you can – you are sick”.

And there is no sarcasm here, it will really be respect for this person, as well as for your friends and relatives. You should not stir up panic, you should not prepare for the next world, but you need to inform each other.

 Wash your hands with soap.

And if at once it seemed to you to be something from an “outdated” childhood, something unnecessary, because there are disinfecting sprays from the pharmacy, then you should reconsider your opinion and read the subtitle again.

Yes! Wash your hands thoroughly (at least 20 seconds) with soap and water, always and often. Sprays and lotions are good, but since such organizations as the Ministry of Health talk about hand washing, it probably should be done, because in most countries medical education costs a lot (like ours), well, there can’t be absolutely fools there, for that kind of money, and not know about the benefits of a spray over soap.

And for those who have just closed the tanks, took off their headphones and do not know at all, then due to the transmission of the virus, touching and shaking hands, together with the subsequent scratching of the eyes, greatly accelerates the spread of the virus.

It is advised not even to shake hands, but to knock with boots, for example.

Check your tattoo artist and tattoo parlor for lice again

No matter how cool your master is, and you are not worried that you can offend him with questions – do it.

Check if it has sterile gloves on it, if it has packed disposable needles, and if it hits with “homemade metal” – check if there is an autoclave in the tattoo parlor for sterilizing needles and other things, see if there are plastic (polyethylene, cellophane) on the electrical wires covers for protection, see if there is a bucket for needles and other waste, if there are means for disinfecting the chair and other things, check everything you can, including the date on the wall on the documents that allow you to work and confirm compliance with the standards.

With all this, you will not offend the master, on the contrary, he will be happy to confirm his compliance. But if there is a “joint”, “boldly spit in the face” (of course, this is an abstract expression – we are for all the rules of culture and hygiene), just turn around and leave.

With today’s development of tattoos, you will definitely find a good master, but you will protect yourself.

Don’t lead a support group

Yes, for many it is necessary, for many, especially for the first time it is so calmer, but the more people in the room, the higher the chances of “getting on with something”, save yourself and your friends from COVID-19.

Put on your mask! As a last resort, close your mouth properly!

We will not breed demagoguery about the effectiveness of masks, the Ministry of Health says – it is necessary, then dress yourself and the master take it. Although, if the master does not have it, then it is better to leave a spare one for yourself, and from the tattoo parlor “bring it down” on the sly. The absence of a mask is not the best characteristic for a master in this situation..

If the Moon has gone beyond Saturn, and you are doing all this without masks, and you are forced to sneeze, or noticed that the master is “at a low start” and opened his mouth – sneeze and cough correctly, they say that you need to bend your arm at the elbow, but at all out of hand or cam.

“Wash” your phone, keys, etc.

No, this article was not paid for by Apple, and we are not saying that you need to wash your iPhone under running water. The point is that “bacteria, germs, viruses and others” hang out and do not die, even leaving the car into the open air, that is, from you.

All these animals can sit and wait in the wings on the phone, tablet, laptop keys, keys, lighters and more. Do not dump your junk in the tattoo parlor, do not pick it up again, especially after washing your hands.

Use your fashionable sprays and lotions – apply them on a sponge and rub on the gadget, you can take alcohol, for fans – there are even packaged, disposable wipes with alcohol for this purpose.

You can sniff a napkin just once, for courage.

In conclusion

Don’t give a fuck, keep calm and sanity, don’t panic.

Observe the rules of hygiene, seek help only from qualified specialists – doctors.

Health to you and your loved ones!

Best regards, .
