How many times can a needle be used before it must be disposed of?

Once
Twice
Three times
Five times

The correct answer is: Once

A needle used in tattooing should be disposed of after a single use. This practice is rooted in health and safety regulations designed to prevent the risk of infection and cross-contamination. Single-use needles are sterile and intended for a one-time application only. Reusing needles poses significant health risks to both the client and the artist, as it can transmit bloodborne pathogens and other infectious diseases. The industry standard mandates that any needle that has been used must be discarded responsibly to ensure the highest level of hygiene in tattooing practices. This commitment to safety is crucial in maintaining a trustworthy environment for clients receiving tattoos.
