007.04.4-12. Aseptic Procedures
12.2. Before each procedure, the artist shall clean his/her fingernails with his/her individual nail file and shall thoroughly wash and scrub his/her hands with tempered running water, an approved soap and his/her individual hand brush. He/she shall not allow his/her hands to dry without the use of a single service use paper towel or approved mechanical means.
12.4. The area of the client's skin to which body art is to be applied shall be prepared by washing with distilled water and approved germicidal soap. When it is necessary to shave the area, single service disposable razors shall be used. Following shaving, the skin must be gently scrubbed with 70% isopropyl alcohol or other approved germicidal solution, using a sterile gauze pad or paper towel, which shall be used only on one client and then discarded.
12.9. In preparing nontoxic dyes or pigments, only nontoxic or sterile material shall be used. Single service or individual portions of pigments in clean sterilized containers or single service containers shall be used for each client. Upon completion, the remaining unused pigments shall be discarded. Any pigment in which the needles were dipped shall not be reused during new or follow-up procedures. Where pigment mixing is necessary to achieve the correct color and follow-up touch-ups may be required (permanent cosmetics), the original container of mixed pigment may be kept.
12.11. After a completed body art procedure, with the exception of piercings, the area of skin worked on, shall be cleaned with a piece of single use sterile material saturated with an approved germicidal solution. It shall be allowed to dry. After drying, ointment may be applied to body art from a collapsible metal or plastic tube or single use packet or portion and where feasible the entire area covered with a piece of an approved, nonstick bandage. The ointment may be spread by the use of sterile gauze, sterile tongue depressors, or gloved fingers.
