Using improperly sanitized needles and instruments for tattooing or body piercing can contribute to the spread of a communicable disease and/or cause permanent injury. Just as important as using sanitized needles and instruments is properly trained shop operators and their staff. Our sanitarians provide education and complete routine inspections to assure compliance with Ohio Revised Code 3730.
