What is described as extra PPE for face tattoos/piercings?

• A. Health questionnaire + temperature check
• B. Vaccination records
• C. Hand washing
• D. Gloves

Answer: (A)

A proactive screening step helps prevent illness from spreading during close-face procedures. A health questionnaire plus a temperature check serves as an extra protective measure by identifying symptoms or fever that could indicate an infectious condition before any contact occurs. If someone appears unwell, delaying the procedure reduces the risk of transmitting illness to the artist or other clients, which is especially important when working near the face where droplets can spread easily. This screening complements the standard PPE and hygiene practices already used.

Vaccination records don’t reflect current illness status and aren’t a real-time safeguard for a given appointment. Hand washing is a basic hygiene practice essential to infection control but is a foundational step, not an extra protective measure added for each session. Gloves are a standard form of PPE; the question points to an additional, session-specific precaution beyond the usual PPE, which is best served by screening for illness.
