All of this carries over to his tattooing. Nick is surgeon-trained in state-of-the-art aseptic technique, including Glo Germ cross-contamination training, a UV-fluorescent system that reveals exactly where invisible contamination spreads so it can be eliminated before it ever reaches the client. His standard is simple: he will never use anything on a client that he wouldn't use on himself.

​

Tattoo ink is not FDA-approved, that is a fact. That means it's your artist's job to know exactly what's permanently going into your body. Third-party testing has shown harmful chemicals and carcinogens in many popular ink brands that never appear on the label, and some cheaper tattoo needles are even found to contain lead.

​

So you can always count on this: Nick has done the research. Third-party tested inks, lead-free needles, sterile medical-grade supplies, and proper wound bandaging on every tattoo, never Saran Wrap.

 

This ensures your art holds up for a lifetime, and your health never suffers for it.
