Health & safety

There will be live tattooing happening on sight all weekend. Below are the guidelines for preventing cross-contamination and infections. ATTENDEES: Attendees should not touch anyone's fresh tattoo. If for whatever reason this is unavoidable, you should thoroughly wash your hands with disinfectant soap prior to and after touching a fresh tattoo. Cross-contamination works in both directions, you can infect surfaces after touching someone's tattoo as well as infect someone's tattoo after touching infected surfaces. Please be mindful so that we can all maintain a safe and clean event. ATTENDEES BEING TATTOOED: If you need to leave the booth where you are being tattooed for any reason please have your tattoo artist wrap your fresh tattoo to help prevent cross-contamination. Please do not touch your tattoo or let anyone else touch your tattoo.
