For as long as humans have decorated their bodies, tattooing has been a staple of cultural and personal expression. Today, the styles of tattooing are as rich and divergent as those who wear them, each one specific to it’s collector. Over the years tattoos have enjoyed a growing popularity and social acceptance to the point that they have become more common than not in our workplaces, classrooms and on our streets.

Health & Safety is a paramount focus at Urge Studios.

Urge has worked hard in partnership with the Provincial Health Authority to help make the tattooing and piercing industry as safe as possible. We were consulted by the Provincial Government in regards to the content of the Provincial Health guidelines for the tattooing industry. Urge Studios has also introduced training for blood born pathogens and sterilization by way of Dave Vedra’s highly acclaimed company “Health Educators” from the U.S. for all health inspectors and anyone in the personal service industry.

In all applications Urge uses single use medically sterilized disposable products such as individually packaged tattooing needles and tubes, and we only purchase products from companies that back there products.
