Rejected petition Allow Cosmetic Tattoo Artists to go back to work on the 4th of July.
Allow Cosmetic Tattoo Artists to go back to work from the 4th of July.
More details
As a Cosmetic Tattoo artist we are used to working to a very high hygienic standard. We wear full PPE and have a very strict clean down policy after each client before Covid 19. We work in a clinical environment with no soft furnishings and use medical grade disinfectant after each client. We are used to dealing with blood and are trained on blood born pathogens.
We work on one client at a time rather than two like hairdressers.
We are more equipped and trained than hairdressers to go back to work safely.
