  • Hand-washing Facilities: Artists will have access to designated hand sinks, conveniently located outside restroom areas.
  • Single-Use Equipment: Only prepackaged, sterilized, single-use equipment is allowed.
  • Glove Use: Artists must wear single-use medical-grade gloves during procedures, changing them between clients or if contaminated.
  • Sharps Disposal: Approved sharps containers are provided to ensure safe disposal.
• Tattoo Alley Setup: The space will be a fully enclosed area, with an initial inspection conducted before any procedures begin. Illinois Department-compliant warning statements (Section 797.600(c)) will also be prominently displayed.
• Age Requirements: No tattooing of individuals under 18; government-issued photo ID is required for age verification.
• Right to Refuse Service: Each artist reserves the right to decline service at any time, for any reason.
