You must be 18 years of age to get tattooed without parental consent, and you’ll be asked to provide valid government photo ID.
If you’re under 18, you’ll be required to have both a parent present and valid government photo ID for each of you. That being said, we have the right to refuse service even with parental consent. These decisions are always made with your best interest in mind.
Before getting tattooed, you will be required to fill out a consent from. This is for legal purposes, and informs us of any medical concerns that could impact the healing of your tattoo. Your artist will then discuss the procedure and design with you, and when all paperwork and design details are finalized, you will be prepped in a private room. This will include cleaning (and sometimes shaving) the area to be tattooed. In most cases, a stencil is then applied to be sure the placement is what you are looking for. Once completed, the tattoo will be cleaned and bandaged, and aftercare instructions will be given. It’s always best to listen to your artist and follow their instructions, as they truly know what's best. In some cases, tattoos will be completed in multiple sittings (typically for larger pieces like sleeves or back pieces), and in this scenario, the tattoo from the first sitting must be fully healed (min. 2 weeks) before a second sitting can take place.
Each Perfect Image tattoo shop adheres strictly to the health standards set by their respective regional health units across Kitchener-Waterloo, Brantford, London, Barrie, and Banff, ensuring a safe and professional environment for both clients and tattoo artists.
Your tattoo artist has been thoroughly trained to take all necessary precautions to protect you as well as themselves. Sterile single-use gloves are worn by the tattoo artist. During each tattoo session, your tattoo artist will open a new package of sterile needles in front of you that they will use. Any other disposable instruments or supplies that will be used during the session will be both new and sterile, again being opened in front of you before use.
Each session will use fresh ink poured into disposable containers which are discarded after each client. Also, all areas which may be touched with contaminated gloves will be wrapped in clear plastic to prevent cross-contamination. Equipment that cannot be autoclaved (such as counter tops, machines, and furniture) will be wiped with a hospital-strength germicidal disinfectant. Before any tattooing begins, we also ensure that the area on your body where the tattoo will be applied is shaved (if necessary) using a disposable one-time-use razor and then disinfected. Each studio is equipped with bio hazard containers for objects that have come into contact with blood or bodily fluids and sharps containers for used needles.
There are some risks associated with existing heath conditions that may cause allergic reactions or infection. These can be minimized by taking proper care of your tattoo exactly as directed by your tattoo artist.
It is recommended that persons with diabetes, hemophilia, any auto-immune disorder, persons taking blood thinning medications, recipients of organ/bone marroe transplants or persons with other medical or skin conditions that may hinder the healing process should consult your doctor before getting tattooed.
It is also advised that you inform your tattoo artist of any metal allergies or allergies to certain healing agents that could be found in aftercare.
Women who are pregnant or nursing will be refused so as to allow the appropriate attention the body requires for the demanding and complex task it is already performing.
