An important thing to look for is the autoclave. Autoclave is very important in the cleanliness of a tattoo studio. If they do not have one, turn around immediately. If they do, you still do not know if it works correctly. A routine analysis should be performed and the sample shown to the client. Ask them!
Another thing to look at the work area is a biohazard container for receiving the elements that have made contact with blood or fluids and therefore no longer used.
Depending on your country / state regulations there is a set of rules stablished by the government in a certain level to ensure cleanliness. Search for these regulations and see if the studio suits them. Many times, the studio must undergo quality / cleanliness approval investigation or process. Certificates are awarded to those who managed the studio and usually they proudly displayed on the wall. Check for them.
In addition to the previous analysis of other things to be watched after the tattoo process begins. All elements of disposable must be disposed of after use. This means they have to open the hermetic package them only after they are used. Ask the tattoo artist to open it in front of your eyes. If he / she is committed to cleanliness in the process he will have no problem in doing so.
The tattoo artist should wear latex gloves (and have a non-latex gloves are available for people allergic) at the time of the tattoo and completely clean the area before the ink.
As a last suggestion, see others doing the regular staff working there. If, for example, you entered the tattoo studio and see their tattoos minor (against the law in most places), you can surely spect them to supervise other regulations, such as those concerning hygiene.
Check carefully, look closely, asking a lot, and you will surely avoid the risk of getting into trouble.
