Gloves for tattoo artists
Safety and protection during tattooing and piercing
In the tattoo industry, using professional gloves is both a hygienic practice and a legal requirement to ensure maximum safety for the tattoo artist and client. During each session, exposure to bodily fluids, such as blood, makes wearing an effective protective barrier that prevents cross-contamination essential. For this reason, gloves for tattoo artists must qualify as medical devices, compliant with EU Regulation 2017/745 and EN 455 standards (parts 1, 2, 3 and 4), which certify their professional-grade performance and suitability for medical use.
Beyond selecting the right work gloves, tattoo artists must follow strict hygiene protocols which include washing hands thoroughly before and after glove use, changing gloves between clients or when damaged or contaminated and wearing additional protective equipment such as face masks and goggles. These practices help maintain a sterile work environment, reducing the risk of infection and ensuring a safer tattoo experience.
Reflexx: the ideal choice in professional tattoo gloves
For a clean and professional workspace, we recommend black gloves for tattooing, which help conceal ink and blood stains, improve focus and maintain a sharp appearance. Powder-free gloves are also essential, as they reduce the risk of contaminating the work area and increase biocompatibility, helping prevent skin irritation.
Protecting your hands with certified gloves means safeguarding both health and artistry, ensuring a more secure and comfortable experience for every client.
