Leap of Faith Tattoo exceeds every standard set for the tattoo and piercing industry. Our instruments are sterilized on site in a Pelton & Crane Autoclave. We subscribe to a biological monitoring service every month for our autoclave and have passed every test to date since we opened out doors in 2003.

All needles, ink caps, gloves, dental bibs, and everything else are single use items and are disposed of immediately following every procedure. All our work surfaces are made of non-porus materials which are cleaned with Madacide or Cavicide (cold sterilant) after every procedure to ensure the safety of our clients and employees.
