Minor changes along the lines of hairdressing is all that would be needed.
The Tattoo industry has always led the way in terms of usage of PPE and cross contamination. Being highly capable of dealing with bacterial and viral threats. Using high level medical grade cleaners already authorised by local health authorities, as well as adopting extra PPE such as face masks, visors, disposable aprons and overarm coverings would allow us to work in a way applicable to the standards you have published.
