Before placing the tattoo and/or body piercing design on the patron's skin, the tattoo artist and/or body piercing artist must apply a thin coating of a petroleum jelly or antibacterial ointment over the area to be tattooed or pierced. This must be applied with cotton swabs, gauze, or wooden tongue depressors, which must immediately be discarded. This application may not be directly spread with an ungloved hand.
