Yes, in most cases and for most people, Tattoos are completely safe. One of the important things to ensure is that the Studio you visit strictly adheres to the Universal Precautions and Blood Borne Pathogen Safety.
At All Day Tattoo, we require each artist to put their client’s safety as their absolute top priority. We have the highest levels of sterilization possible in our work areas, and use new disposable needles and tubes for every client that come packed from totally sterile environments, rather than sterilizing and re-using.

In Thailand tattoo studios are required to undergo a very detailed and intensive process to gain a license to tattoo. We are one of the very few studios who has gone through and been approved by this process.
As with all good tattoo studios, we do provide a consent/waiver form for our clients which identifies some rare circumstances where it would be inappropriate for the client to get a tattoo, but for most people this isn’t an issue.
