Holey Skin is environmental health registered and maintains the highest standards of hygiene. As would be expected, brand new needles are used for every tattoo and piercing. All equipment is autoclaved after each use and autoclaves are spore tested regularly - so put simply - hygiene equipment is maintained and tested on a regular basis. To state again -Holey Skin has recently installed brand new State-of-the-Art Print Autoclaves in all 3 studios as well as brand new ultrasonic cleaners. Autoclave test records are available on request. Furthermore, as per recent hygiene legislation each studio has a separate sterilization room to prevent any possible risk of cross contamination.

Tattooists use only fresh inks of the highest market specification which are poured into new disposable ink caps. No surplus ink is at any time re-used. Tattoo & Piercing Artists wear gloves at all times and make multiple glove changes per client as necessary. Any item that may be touched during the tattoo process is covered in disposable plastic film to avoid the possibility of cross-contamination and all surfaces are thoroughly cleaned with Trigene disinfectant after each client. Furthermore all studios are fitted with non-porous wall and floor material to ensure thorough cleaning.
