Biohazard Disposal - Removal of Tattoo Waste

Absolutely correct. And a sharps container is? A sharps container is a plastic container, usually red, with a biohazard symbol on the outside. Just like the one in the doctor's office labeled "hazardous waste".

Used needles, and anything else contaminated and not scheduled for autoclave sterilization should be placed in these containers and removed in a timely manner.
