Walk into ten different tattoo shops and you'll probably find ten different cleaning products. Some artists swear by CaviCide because it's what they've used for years. Others have switched to Opti-Cide MAX for its faster contact times. Some prefer Purell because of its low odor, while others keep Sani-Cloths within arm's reach at every station.
In this guide, we'll compare several of the most popular disinfectants used in healthcare and tattooing. We'll break down their strengths, weaknesses, contact times, surface compatibility, and ideal use cases so you can choose the right product for your studio—not just the most popular one.

Tattoo Artist: A Collection of Narratives
|
Before social media, before podcasts, before every tattooer had a camera in their pocket, there were books like this. Tattoo Artist by Jill "Horiyuki" Mandelbaum is a collection of candid conversations, artwork, and behind-the-scenes photographs featuring some of the most respected names in tattooing. Rather than focusing on techniques or step-by-step instruction, this book gives readers something rarer — an honest look into the lives, philosophies, struggles, and successes of thirteen influential tattoo artists. Inside you'll find interviews with Adam Barton, Grez, Eric Jones, Henning Jorgensen, Gary Kosmala, Oliver Peck, Heath Preheim, Javi Rodriguez, Robert Ryan, Richard Stell, Chris Trevino, Jef Whitehead, and Pinky Yun. Each artist shares their unique perspective on tattooing, creativity, client relationships, and the path that brought them to where they are today. Packed with artwork, photographs, and personal stories, Tattoo Artist feels less like a reference book and more like sitting down across the table from the people who helped shape modern tattooing.
📖 Inside the Book: • 243 pages • 12" x 9.5" format • Paperback edition • Extensively illustrated throughout • Interviews with 13 respected tattoo artists Whether you're an apprentice, a seasoned tattooer, or simply someone who appreciates the people behind the craft, Tattoo Artist offers a rare glimpse into the minds of artists who have left their mark on tattoo history. Real stories. Real artists. Real tattooing.

When Social Security numbers were introduced in the United States during the 1930s, some Americans chose to have their number tattooed on their body as a permanent form of identification. The practice became common enough that many traveling tattooers advertised Social Security number tattooing as a service. In fact, Lucky's Tattoo Museum has several early traveling tattoo kits on display that prominently promote Social
Security number tattoos.
