What to look for in a truly clean tattoo parlor....?
I know what I want and where I want it...but every tattoo parlor I have been to has kind of a "gnarly" look to it. The so-called "they" say that you should go to a place that "is set up like a hospital"...like I said, I've never seen a place that literally looked like that. So, any tips for exactly what to look for and any known to be clean and high-quality places in the Chicago suburbs (or the city itself)?
The sterile needle seems obvious...how about the ink? How do I make sure they are using fresh ink? Just ask them?
just so you know hospitals are one of the most germ and bacterial filled places you could go so just because someplace "looks" a certain way doesn't mean much (i work at a hospital)
the artist should put the ink into small ink caps and that is what they dip their needles in and when your tattoo is over they throw away the ink caps along with any other unused materials.

whatever shop you go in first check out the artwork in their portfolios. once you find an artist that satisfies you ask them if it is possible for you to watch them tattoo someone and make sure they sterilize the table they put their equipment on, (done with a spray) and also that they clean the chair or bench that the client will lay on. they should use gloves and all equipment used should come out of a sterilized package. ask them about their cleaning practices and don't get a tattoo unless you feel comfortable doing so there.
