FAQs

What are the Best Gloves to Tattoo With?

Nitrile gloves are the best type of gloves to tattoo with, as they’re puncture-resistant and incredibly strong despite their thinness, so they’re very unlikely to break while tattooing. Since allergies to nitrile are uncommon, the chances of the artist or the customer reacting to the gloves is unlikely.

Is it OK for an Artist to not Wear Gloves?

No. Tattoo artists should wear tattoo gloves at all times to ensure maximum health and safety precautions are taken. Tattoos create open wounds, so the skin must be protected from bacteria that could cause an infection. Regardless of how clean you think your hands are, it’s likely there are lingering bacteria.

Can you use any Gloves to Tattoo With?

No. Using the wrong type of gloves could leave them susceptible to breaking if the needle comes into contact with them, they may not be fitted to allow maximum dexterity and could cause an allergic reaction to either the artist or the customer. Black nitrile gloves are always recommended.
