Eagle Tattoos

Tattooing in Durban's heat and humidity requires specific technical knowledge that separates competent work from poor results. The salt air and intense UV exposure mean ink can fade differently than in other parts of the country, so artists need to understand colour saturation, needle depth, and how different pigment types hold up in coastal conditions. Proper sterilisation procedures are non-negotiable here—autoclaves must be maintained correctly, single-use needles are essential, and cross-contamination risks need constant management. Line work demands precision because any mistakes become obvious as they heal, and the sweating and salt water exposure during summer adds complexity to aftercare. Artists who work here successfully have learned that rushing through a session or cutting corners on sanitation will show up immediately in client satisfaction and reputation.
