Tattoo License Test NYC Exam Questions and
Answers
Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)
The last stage of infection caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which most often
results in severe damage to the body's immunse system
Applicator
A term referring to either single-use and reusable spatula or similar devices
Antiseptic
A chemical agent that destroys or inhibits microorganisms on skin or tissue and has an effect of
limiting optimally preventing infection
Autoclave
Equipment used for the sterilization of heat resistant instruments
Bacteria
Microscopic organisms that are too small to be visible to the naked eye. They are capable of causing
infection when a person is exposed to them under certain circumstances, such as through abraded
skin (eg. staphylococci, streptococci)
Bacterial Spores
Some microorganisms are able to survive in very harsh conditions by enveloping themselves with this
thick wall. They make bacteria highly resistant to killing. If they are introduced to the body where
conditions become more favorable—when there's more water or more food available—the bacteria
"come to life" again, transforming from a spore back to a vegetative cell that can cause serious
infection. They can be destroyed by sterilization only
Blood borne infections
Infections caused by viruses found in the blood such as hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV),
or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
Body Fluids
Fluids normally present in the body such as blood, mucous, sweat, oil, saliva, urine, ooze from a
festering sore, or tears. They may contain infectious organisms.
Cleaning
Refers to the process of removing blood, other body fluids, organic material, tissue, and dirt from the
surface of an object by scrubbing with a brush, detergent and water. It greatly reduces the number of
microorganisms (including bacterial endospores) on items and is a crucial step in processing. If items
haven't first been cleaned, further processing might not be effective.
Contamination
A disinfected or sterile item or surface that becomes soiled with microorganisms
Cross-contamination
, The transfer of microorganisms from one surface to another or from something contaminated to
something clean or sterile
Detergent
A substance that enhances the cleaning action of water (preferably warm/hot) or another liquid.
Disinfectant
A chemical agent that destroys microorganisms, but does not necessarily kill all microbial forms on
inanimate objects
Disinfection
A process that destroys or kills some, but not all, disease-producing microorganism on an object or
surface. (Does not kill spores)
Gloves
Protective equipment that must be worn to protect against exposure to blood and other potentially
infectious materials. Disposable gloves are single use that are disposed after each use. Most popular
are made from latex, but hypo-allergenic gloves, glove liners, powder less gloves, or other alternatives
are available for those allergic,
Hepatitis B virus (HBV)
Infection of the liver, can cause a life long infection, cirrhosis (scarring), cancer, liver failure, death.
Takes 6 weeks to 6 months to produce infection when the virus enters the body
Hepatitis C virus (HCV)
Infection of liver cells, 6 weeks to 6 months to produce infection once virus is present, found in the
blood of person with disease. Spread by contact with blood of infected person.
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
Virus that causes AIDS. Takes from 1 to 6 months for blood to test positive for antibodies after virus
enters the body.
Immunization
Method to produce immunity (protection from infection) using vaccines
Infection
Condition resulting from presence and multiplication of microorganisms in the body. Not all show
signs of symptoms but it is still transmittable
Infection control
Practices and strategies that aim to minimize the risk of spreading infections, prevents client to client,
client to tattooist, and tattooist to client spreading.
