Tattoo Hygiene and Safety

Lantern And Moth Tattoo Da Nang operates to the highest safety standards in Vietnam, using only single-use needles and supplies. We strive to be the best tattoo studio in Da Nang, Vietnam. Our tattoo artists follow the same rigorous procedures as the owner did in his Australian studio. The owner holds a Queensland T.A.F.E. Certificate in infection control and has extensive experience tattooing in the Netherlands and Queensland, Australia—two of the most highly regulated places for tattooing worldwide. With over 18 years of experience in the tattoo industry, he has a thorough understanding of potential issues and risks in the tattoo process.

Tattoo safety at Lantern And Moth Tattoo involves more than just using an unexpired needle. Our process starts with a comprehensive questionnaire to inform us of any medical issues you may have that could affect your health or the healing of your new tattoo. We create a sanitary environment for tattooing and cover anything our hands will come into contact with throughout the procedure with single-use disposable barriers.

Our needles are sterilized with EO gas by the manufacturer, stored in a sanitary environment, and rechecked for sterility and expiry date before being opened. The inks we use are from industry-respected manufacturers in the USA and are sterilised with gamma rays during the production process. After opening, they are handled correctly to prevent cross-contamination, and close attention is paid to their condition and expiry.

At our Da Nang tattoo studio, we use only pharmacy-grade distilled water for mixing with our inks and bottled water in our rinse cups and wash bottles. Finally, at the completion of the tattoo, we apply "second skin" to keep the tattooed skin clean and protected from contaminants at its most vulnerable stage. This is included in the cost of the tattoo, along with a second piece of second skin and the relevant aftercare to help you heal your tattoo in the safest way possible.

If you have any questions about hygiene and tattoo safety at our Da Nang tattoo studio, please don’t hesitate to ask. Lantern And Moth Tattoo Da Nang is committed to providing the highest quality tattoos in a safe and clean environment.
