Permanent Cosmetics Underground

The time has come where all honest, talented cosmetic tattooers insist that their peers "come out of the closet" - or more accurately, get the hell out of the basement! I cannot believe how many people think it is OK to be tattooing out their houses: in their basements, bedrooms, or on kitchen tables. I have heard horror stories of clients going to these establishments and being tattooed on the technician's child's bed!

This must end and it must end now. All tattooers should be working out of licensed facilities. If not, why not? Are they operating illegally? How can they carry insurance like that? Sure, some will say they have room specifically set up for it - that is is very professional, has hot and cold running water, etc. I would love to see their sharps pick up log, where they dispose of their contaminated waste, and what their local city/county knowledge of their presence is. If you don't want to conduct business in a proper manner - find another one - there is no room in the cosmetic tattoo industry for you!
