What should take place immediately after the removal of protective gloves?

Wash hands
Bandage client
Review aftercare
Turn off power supply

The correct answer is: Wash hands

After the removal of protective gloves, it is essential to wash hands immediately to maintain proper hygiene and prevent the potential spread of contaminants. This step is crucial in any procedure involving skin or body modification, such as tattooing, because gloves are worn to protect both the artist and the client from exposure to bodily fluids and pathogens. Once the gloves are removed, any surface contamination that may have occurred during the procedure can be transferred to the artist's hands and must be addressed through thorough handwashing. Proper hand hygiene helps to ensure a safe and clean environment for both the artist and the client, reducing the risk of infections or complications. The other options do not follow the immediate protocol after glove removal. Bandaging the client is typically done after the tattoo is completed. Reviewing aftercare is important but can take place after the studio area is properly sanitized and once hands are clean. Turning off the power supply is relevant to equipment operation but is not directly related to the immediate need for hand hygiene after glove removal.
