When working on broken skin, is it acceptable to use paper towels from the work area?

True
False

The correct answer is: False

Using paper towels from the work area on broken skin is not acceptable due to concerns about infection and contamination. When dealing with broken skin, it's crucial to maintain a sterile environment to protect the client from potential pathogens. Paper towels that are used in the general work area may have been exposed to various contaminants and bacteria, which could potentially increase the risk of infection if applied to an open wound. It is essential to use clean, disposable materials specifically designated for medical or tattoo procedures. This practice aligns with standard hygiene protocols and is crucial for ensuring safety and health for both the artist and the client. Adhering to these standards helps in preventing cross-contamination and promotes better healing outcomes.
