Sterilization traceability for tattoo studios in Germany

16 Bundesländer, 16 hygiene regulations — one digital sterilization register. SecuSteri replaces your paper Hygieneplan documentation with a tamper-proof record that travels with you to every convention and guest spot.

What the Gesundheitsamt expects from tattoo studios

Gesundheitsamt (local health authority) · Trade office (Gewerbeamt)

Tattoo studios are subject to hygiene inspection under IfSG §36(2). Each of the 16 Bundesländer has its own Hygieneverordnung with specific requirements. Common obligations include: a written Hygieneplan accessible at all times, annual documented hygiene training for all staff, sterilization of all reusable instruments penetrating the skin, and proper waste management. DIN EN 17169:2020 is increasingly referenced by health inspectors as the standard of practice. The Gesundheitsamt can conduct announced and unannounced inspections and order studio closure for non-compliance.
