The tattoo industry keeps on increasing. In the U.S.,
half of the people will have a tattoo by 2035. However, with the increase in tattoos, hygiene problems are also rising because there is no industry standard.

According to an article on Health Line, around 2 million infections are reported annually.

As Vaseline is widely used to heal tattoo scars,
we created a new hygiene standard for the tattoo
industry called “Blue Shields,” a label we give to
parlors that keep sanitation guidelines and have great reviews.
