The needle, once removed from its sanitary package, must be placed on sanitized surfaces only. If the needle is set down on a table or falls to the floor, insist that it be replaced. The artist should disinfect the spray bottle used between customers. The razor used to shave your skin should be disposable and used only once. The artist should not touch anything other than your skin and the needle after washing his hands and putting on gloves.
