Studio Accessibility

If you have a specific question or concern regarding studio accessibility or set up please don’t hesitate to reach out if this doesn’t cover it

  • Liatris Tattoo is a street level storefront with signage on the street-facing back of the building and the front door. There is a parking lot shared with the other businesses in our plaza that the front door faces.

  • Privacy: The view from the street/parking lot is blocked by privacy curtains. I work alone so unless you bring a friend there will be no one else in the studio.

  • There is a single spacious and ADA compliant bathroom located in the back of the studio.

  • The waiting area furniture is sturdy and suitable for a variety of body types. My tattoo bed has a capacity of 400lbs and is fully adjustable for your comfort, tattoo placement allowing. It does not have arms and there are a variety of chairs with a without arms in the studio for clients and guests not on the tattoo bed. I was unable to find stats on the weight limit of some of the second hand chairs but they have proven good thus far.

  • We will discuss your positioning for your tattoo based on the placement and how it wraps. I always want to position you however is most comfortable and have pillows available to help cushion unsupported areas.

  • Hearing: If you have trouble hearing, let me know. I have the ability to adjust the volume of music in my studio. I do not know ASL but if this is a concern I can bring a laptop for us to type back and forth on quickly. I will provide aftercare instructions in written form.

  • Stress/fidget friends are available if you want or need a sensory distraction from the tattoo sensation.

  • I routinely use Bactine spray throughout our session that takes the edge off the pain of the tattoo for about 20 minutes at a time. I am open to the use of numbing gels and creams and fully detail that here. My recommendation is the brand is Hush but please read all the information both I and the company provide on numbing aid use.

  • Allergies will be asked in both your tattoo request form and on the consent form given at the time of your tattoo. It is your responsibility to inform me of any sensitivities you may have. I use Panthera inks, Bronner’s soap, distilled water, alcohol, witch hazel, aloe, A+D ointment and Electrum stencil primer.

  • General stimulation: Because I work in a solo private studio, parts of the tattoo process can be very quiet and under stimulating - usually with the only noises being the tattoo machine and the music. Conversation is welcome however I do enjoy this focused atmosphere. Headphones are greatly encouraged if you want to watch or hear anything on your device.

Please understand that I am a highly sensitive person. I might be on the quiet side as I’m working harder to process conversation while focusing on your tattoo. I do carry headphones with me but prefer to be present in the studio incase my attention is needed with you, someone walking in, another client, etc.

We can absolutely chat and laugh throughout your appointment however please understand that tattooing takes much of my focus so please do not expect me to stay talkative/responsive during our entire session. Books, handheld games, phones and headphones are more than welcome if desired to stay entertained.
