Let’s get the practice of Tattoos regulated nationally
Did you know in Ireland , the tattoo industry is unregulated ?
Yes, tattoo artists, cosmetic tattoo practitioners, microblading etc .
These practitioners instruments all reach under your skin- and are in contact with your blood?
Why is this important?
In Ireland , all of the basic or advanced trainings, Cross contamination, Blood borne pathogens , Sterility, Infection control bearly gets an hour of teaching with no exam at the end.
Through lack of knowledge Hepatitis A, B or C, or HIV can be contracted if the practitioner has not followed a minimum training/teaching with exams plus annual tests to ensure practices do not slip.
To date, no such regulation is in place, leaving the general public exposed to a viral/bacterial infection unwittingly along with their treatment.
What makes this right?
