Conduct in the event of an emergency due to needle-prick injury
Providers of permanent make-up, like tattoo artists in Germany, are obliged to
train themselves in first aid measures for injuries that may typically occur in their
respective specialist area.
We recommend that you keep proof of your training handy, as well as a first aid kit
that is regularly checked to ensure it is complete and everything works. Both must
be presented in the event of a check.
Warning: Needle-prick injury
There is a risk of infection.
Risk number 1 in pigmenting or tattooing is an unintentional needle-prick injury for
the beauty therapist or tattooist and the customer, which poses a risk of infection
with hepatitis B, C and HIV.
Risk number 2 is spatter (blood and other body fluids) on mucous membranes such
as the mouth, nose or eyes.
In both cases, immediate action should be taken and a doctor should be consulted
after first aid is administered.
The following emergency procedures are well established:
1. Stop pigmenting or tattooing immediately.
2. Change your gloves.
3. If the skin is intact, wash the area of the needle-prick injury under running hot
water using mild liquid soap and treat with antiseptics for skin that are effective
in combating viruses.
4. If the skin is damaged, gently rinse the area of the needle-prick injury using an
antiseptic for skin that is effective in combating viruses.
5. In the case of puncture wounds, stimulate the bleeding by pressing on the
tissue around the needle-prick injury, then rinse with an antiseptic for skin that
is effective in combating viruses for at least ten minutes.
6. Do not use brushes to treat the skin.
7. If eyes or nose are affected by the needle-prick injury, rinse with 2.5% PVP
iodine solution for at least ten minutes, if this is not available, use water (be
aware of iodine intolerances).
8. If the needle is contaminated with oral mucosa, rinse with 2.5% PVP iodine
solution or with water (be aware of iodine intolerances).
9. Apply a plaster to any cuts or puncture sites that have been caused.
10. If there is contamination of intact skin over a large area, the clothing must be
removed and everything must be washed with plenty of water. It is important
that a doctor is contacted as soon as possible after the incident (emergency
ambulance). Prophylactic treatment should be given within one hour and no
later than 72 hours after the incident. The incident must be documented by
everyone involved. The company owner must also be informed of the incident
in a timely manner.
