TIMA DIRECTIVE

Safety Initiatives

Programs and best-practice efforts designed to reduce risk, strengthen accountability, and protect public confidence in tattoo and PMU.

CORE PHILOSOPHY

Safety is the foundation
of legitimacy.

TIMA supports safety initiatives that are science-based, practical, and aligned with real manufacturing and professional-use conditions. Our focus is risk reduction—through education, standards, and shared best practices that can be implemented without guesswork.

OPERATIONAL SAFETY PILLARS

WHAT TIMA PRIORITIZES

Six foundational technical disciplines defining standardized risk mitigation across industrial supply chains.

Contamination Prevention

Best practices that reduce contamination risk through process controls, handling guidance, and operational discipline.

Labeling & Safe-Use Communication

Clear guidance that improves instructions, warnings, and professional-use clarity.

Traceability & Accountability

Encouraging record systems that support batch tracking, incident response, and supply chain responsibility.

Adverse-Event Awareness

Support for responsible monitoring, investigation, and corrective action pathways.

Documentation Readiness

Promoting consistent documentation habits that strengthen safety substantiation and operational control.

Education & Implementation

Training and tools that convert safety expectations into daily execution.
