Bloodborne Pathogens Course for Tattoo ArtistsAre you a PMU or Microblading artist looking to renew your annual OSHA safety certification? Stop overpaying for generic, medical-grade courses that don’t apply to your daily work. Most hospital-based training courses cost upwards of $30 and waste your time with irrelevant medical procedures.

At ACE, we understand that your studio environment is unique. Our $10 OSHA-Compliant Course is specifically tailored for the body art industry. We focus heavily on the real-world cross-contamination scenarios you face every day—including proper needle disposal, pigment safety, and station sanitation protocols required for your Body Art Practitioner License.

Whether you are a solo brow artist or managing a busy studio, our curriculum meets the Federal OSHA Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030) and is recognized by Health Departments nationwide. Get the certificate you need to stay licensed, without the “medical tax” other providers charge.

Mastering Universal Precautions and Hand Hygiene

Our curriculum goes beyond simple box-checking; we ensure you fully understand “Universal Precautions”—the industry standard of treating all blood and body fluids as if they are known to be infectious. In the world of Permanent Makeup and Microblading, where you are creating open wounds to deposit pigment, the risk of transmission is real. That is why our course places a heavy emphasis on the single most critical factor in infection control: proper hand hygiene.

Many artists mistakenly believe that wearing gloves is enough to stop the spread of pathogens. However, gloves are only effective if the hands underneath them are clean. In our training, we break down the science of microscopic tears in nitrile and latex gloves, explaining why “gloving up” without washing is a safety violation that puts you at risk. We guide you through the CDC-recommended handwashing protocols—specifically when you must wash (before setup, after teardown, and immediately upon glove removal) and the proper technique to eliminate bacteria from underneath fingernails and jewelry, which are common hotspots for contamination in a studio setting.

Furthermore, we cover the vital relationship between hand hygiene and your workstation setup. You will learn how to properly utilize barrier film and cord covers to create a “sterile field,” ensuring that once your hands are clean, they stay that way while you work. By mastering these safety protocols, you aren’t just protecting yourself from Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and HIV; you are protecting your clients and the reputation of your business. A certificate from ACE proves to your health inspector and your clientele that you take their safety as seriously as your art.

Setting the Bar High for Infection Control

At the heart of bloodborne pathogen training lies a strong emphasis on infection control, a critical component in maintaining exemplary cleanliness standards within tattoo studios. The training covers vital topics such as hand hygiene, meticulous tool sterilization, and the safe disposal of materials, all of which ensure optimal hygiene throughout the tattooing process. These rigorous practices significantly enhance client satisfaction by fostering an environment of trust and safety. Additionally, adhering to high infection control standards bolsters the artist’s reputation, further contributing to their success and standing within the competitive tattoo industry. By continuously setting the bar high for infection control, artists reaffirm their commitment to quality and client well-being, positioning themselves as leaders in the field.
