![]() I don’t know if it was one moment, but I do believe this is just where I was meant to end up. Was there a particular pivotal moment in your life that sparked this journey of self-expression? That’s also why I have loads of shitty tattoos too haha. Generally you’re meant to wait until you have a fair amount of coverage, like full sleeves etc before you get your hands done but I just did it anyway cos I was 19 and a dickhead and wanted to. Looking at it now, I definitely got a few tattoos on my body before I should have. You are totally covered in tatts yourself, face/hands/chest/arms… how did this come about? I had a little taste when I was 19 in a local studio in Bunbury, but it wasn’t until I was 23 that I got my apprenticeship in Margaret River. To me, the tattoo industry was one of those industries that seemed like a secret society, and I was always so intimidated going into studios. I only really considered being a ‘tattoo artist’ when I was about 17/18 and started getting my first few tattoos but again, I didn’t know how to go about it. I guess I always wanted to do something creative, as I had an interest in art growing up but I didn’t really know what to do with it and more importantly, how I could possibly have a long term career making enough clams to get by as an ‘artist’. What made you decide to become a tattoo artist? Did it start with a love for art and design? It’s just come up to eight and a half years. How long have you been a tattoo artist for? ![]() So bare with me while I celebrate the insane human that you are! Inject it into the skin, however, and it can end up in a severe infection that sometimes needs surgery to remove.Kween Krush alert!! This is where we celebrate everyday women for being complete badass Wonder Women.Įbony, hubba hubba, guurl do we have an Aaron Carter-size crush on you!! Not only do you have some bangin’ style, look like a goth-punk-rock goddess, have a heart of platinum gold, are funny AF but you also have some mad mad tatts skillzzzz. Bacteria still thrive in water that is safe to drink. In this case, the inks may cause no harm on their own, but there have been issues with artists diluting them with water to get the right shade. According to the CDC, using non-sterile water in tattoo inks ha presented contamination issues. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) may not be able to regulate the tattoo industry, but like the FDA, they keep alerting the public. The bill that Meyer tried to put through never made it, and neither did the revision that lifted some of its more stringent requirements. Things previously so got heated that an Arizona tattoo artist who had enough urged former representative Eric Meyer (a doctor himself) to start cracking down. This explains why Arizona reps have been vying to pass a regulation bill, even though the state has been notorious for pushing back against proposed regulations whenever it can. Unsterilized needles could mean the spreading of diseases like hepatitis or HIV. While the FDA does go public about tattoo reports and recalls, there is no federal law requiring this. There are risks for both clients and tattoo artists. The FDA only becomes aware of an incident if someone voluntarily reports it, so there is no way for them to know everything that goes down.Ī study published in Current Problems in Dermatology found that ink and pigment production is unregulated in the United States, while the regulation of tattooing itself varies state by state. Whatever suggestions they make are not mandatory, and neither is reporting anything that goes wrong, such as poisoning or infection. These coalitions may or may not keep clients and tattooers safe. ![]() While there are some government regulations that OSHA (the Occupational Safety and Health Administration) as well as state law have in place, such as sterilization requirements and health board checks, attempts to legislate regulation often end up falling apart, and the industry often has to regulate itself through coalitions.
