Alliance of Professional Tattooists, Inc.
The A.P.T., Inc. was formed in 1992 to answer the need for safety, education, standardization and professionalism. Pat Sinatra is a founding member. She has served on the board of directors from 1992 to 2005; as vice president from 1993 to 1995; as director again from 2003; as president from 2005. Pat encourages everyone to be familiar with safety standards. Please, only visit legitimate tattoo studios who employ single-service set-ups which are assembled in your presence. Avoid gypsy tattooers and house parties — your health could be at risk.
Are you a tattoo artist? A wannabe? An enthusiast? A tattoo-virgin about to take the leap? We invite you to join the APT Forum to become aware. Remember, ignorance is more expensive than education.
