Splatters of Bodily Fluid

It may not have crossed your mind, but while a tattoo is in progress
thousands of tiny splatters of bodily fluid and ink will hit the
artist. Some of these microscopic spatters will hit the artist in the
face. Even fewer might hit the artist in the mucus membranes
(mouth and eyes). This means you as an artist are potentially
absorbing bodily fluid directly into your body from the client!
Ever notice that the dental workers will wear full plastic face
masks?
