Preventing Disease Transmission: Tattooing Gloves and Gloves for Tattooing
Gloves MD provides medical grade tattoo gloves especially for tattoo and body piercing artists who are regularly exposed to pathogens, blood, and other bodily fluids. Tattooing gloves help ensure the safety of the artist, client, and any other individual who may potentially come into contact with contaminated materials.
It’s critical for tattoo artists to maintain sanitary conditions in shop, and a big part of maintaining these sanitary conditions is the appropriate use of gloves for tattooing. Tattooing gloves should be worn when inspecting the area prior to tattooing, shaving, wielding tattoo guns, mixing inks or afterward cleanup. Gloves need to be changed regularly to avoid contamination.
Federal law requires Tattoo and Piercing artists to wear personal protective equipment (gloves for tattooing) when exposed to safety and health hazards. Latex is a solid choice for the tattooist as it doesn’t interfere with sensitivity or control and stretches to accommodate a variety of hand sizes. Nitrile tattooing gloves are an ideal alternative for artists who experience a sensitivity to latex and may potentially have an adverse reaction to latex. Nitrile tattoo gloves react to body temperature and conform to the shape of your hands, making for an exceptionally snug fit. Tattooing gloves we offer provide a precise, cool and dry fit for less hand fatigue. Gloves for tattooing are medical grade and disposable, and provide an effective barrier against infectious materials and other bloodborne pathogens. Vinyl gloves are more resistant to grease and oil, solvent, and chemicals, making them useful for tattoo artists when cleaning and sanitizing equipment and station. However, they may limit tactile sensation and are not an ideal choice for tattooing.
Gloves MD provides the specific kinds of gloves for tattooing you are looking for, including nitrile gloves. To learn more about our selection of tattooing gloves or should you have any questions, please contact a GlovesMD representative.
