In conversation with Ms. Archana Nakhua Bhanushali, Founder, Ace Tattooz & Art Studio, Mumbai who gives us an insider view on the effect the pandemic has had on the tattoo industry. We are the industry where human interaction and touch is essential to keep our business going – the salon, spas and tattoo industry has been hugely impacted by the pandemic. As an industry we have to act responsibly to make no error that might cause a human life. Reviving consumer confidence is going to be a huge challenge for the industry. Better safe than sorryBeing well prepared to avoid contamination and at the same time, the smooth running of business is of the priority of everyone. The measures that need to be taken by the industry are: We will have to follow guidelines from the governing bodies. We will have to ask screening questions, limiting the number of people instead of the shops, maintaining social distance, using face masks, gloves and disinfectants like sanitizers. Strict waste management protocols have to be maintained. Markings for people to maintain social distancing inside the studio will have to be made. E- payments to be encouraged. Self-declaration forms to be filled and those not complying with the rules shall not be allowed. Have a different set of clothes for in-house and travel for the staff. Importance of hygieneIn the tattoo and salon industry, we have to work in very close proximity to our clients because our work is to craft something on their skin. Now with COVID-19 we will have to increase diligence to maintain the highest standards of health and hygiene.It’s a new way of working which will take some time to get accustomed to, but the sooner we accept the sooner we can move forward.   Measures at the studioAdditional measures that the artists and studio will be required to comply with are disinfecting the studio premises two to three times daily, wearing a mask, hand gloves, full face shield mask, and using sanitising agents at all times. For clients, an online consultation will be done 3 days before the service. To make sure that their health is at par and to collect their travel history. So we could save time at the time of actual tattooing. Service will be provided through pre-bookings and appointment basis only. Clients will be asked to come alone for the service and in case of any special circumstances, one person can accompany them. This will be done to avoid unnecessary gathering of people at the studio.   Upon a client’s arrival, a no-contact thermometer will be used to check their temperature for precautionary measures.  Also, the client will be asked to wear a mask at all times during the service. As we move ahead we will surely find new ways and methods to deal with the situation more efficiently and cost-effectively.   Lastly, we all need to be open to change and follow the instructions released by our local government authorities. However we are hopeful that the shops will open soon and safety of ourselves and the clients will be our number one priority.

Navigating through the myriad of tattoo studios, each claiming to offer the best services, requires careful consideration. With so many options out there, figuring out which one is the right fit can be a real head-scratcher.   So, to ensure your tattoo experience is not only memorable but also safe, in this blog, we’re breaking down the important questions you need to ask before you start searching on Google for “a tattoo studio near me”.   Some Crucial Questions to Ask What is the Tattoo Artist’s Experience Level?   When choosing a tattoo artist, inquire about their experience by asking how long they’ve been in the industry and if they have a specialization. Request to see their portfolio to assess their work, and inquire about any formal training or apprenticeship. Check if they are adaptable to different styles and ask about their problem-solving skills based on past experiences. Additionally, understand how they communicate with clients to ensure effective collaboration and a clear understanding of your vision for the tattoo. These questions help evaluate the artist’s skills, versatility, and professionalism in the tattooing process.   Does the Tattoo Artist Follow Sterilization Techniques?   Hygiene is paramount in the world of tattoos. Ensure that the tattoo artist follows strict sterilization techniques. A reputable studio will use single-use needles, and disposable gloves, and maintain a clean working environment. Sterilization is not only crucial for your safety but also reflects the professionalism of the studio and its dedication to providing a clean and sanitary space for clients.   Does the Artist Work in a Tattoo Establishment?   Selecting a tattoo artist associated with a reputable near by tattoo studio or establishment is vital. Working within a recognized studio ensures that the artist adheres to industry regulations and standards. It also indicates a level of commitment and accountability, offering you a sense of security in knowing that the artist operates within the framework of a well-established studio.   Is the Tattoo Studio Clean?   Cleanliness extends beyond the artist’s tools to the overall environment of the tattoo and piercing studio near me. A clean and well-maintained studio is indicative of a professional establishment. Make it a point to visit the studio in person before making a decision. Look for cleanliness not only in the tattooing area but also in waiting rooms, bathrooms, and any other public spaces.   Does the Tattoo Artist Have a Good Work Portfolio?   Reviewing the artist’s portfolio is a crucial step in assessing their skill and style. A comprehensive portfolio showcases the artist’s versatility, attention to detail, and consistency. Look for tattoos similar to the design you have in mind to gauge the artist’s proficiency in that specific style. A strong portfolio not only speaks to the artist’s talent but also helps you visualize the quality of work you can expect.   Are the Tattoo Artist and Studio Staff Friendly?   A welcoming and friendly atmosphere can significantly enhance your tattoo experience. From the moment you step into the studio, assess the friendliness of the staff and the artist. A positive and approachable attitude fosters effective communication, ensuring that your ideas are understood and translated into the perfect tattoo.   In conclusion, choosing the right near by tattoo studio involves more than just finding a skilled artist. Safety, hygiene, professionalism, and a positive atmosphere are essential factors that should influence your decision.
