A former employee of Rock and Roll Tattoo in Glasgow claimed she discovered piles of ‘clinical waste’ next to her station. The ex-artist of a popular tattoo studio has claimed bags of clinical waste were left to pile up in storage cupboards at the site.
Tattoo artist Kali left her position at Glasgow’s Rock and Roll Tattoo and Piercing studio after eight months, as the emergence of numerous flies led to the discovery of large piles of bin bags in a cupboard next to her station.
Photographs appear to show overflowing bags left in the premises, which are said to contain wipes and papers that have been used to clean blood from needles used on clients.
The tattooist slammed the studio’s practices on social media and warned any potential customers to avoid the parlour.
Upon making the discovery, Kali left her role at the studio – but she now claims that she is owed money from the company.
The tattooist claims that staff were “abused” and that customers and staff have been “stolen from” and refused refunds.
Kali says she made the discovery after ‘noticing flies’. She told STV News: “One day I saw flies coming out from this cupboard. I never understood why.
“Gradually more and more flies were appearing, that even my customers were asking ‘what is with these flies’?
“I never checked this out. One day I opened the storage cupboard and saw bags and bags of disposable waste just stockpiled. “It had to be at least two months’ worth. The studio has claimed bags of clinical waste were left to pile up in storage cupboards at the site.

Well done Kali, but was this a demonstration of your concern regarding health matters, and presumably fire risk, or something to do with the money?
