For any business that places customers at a chair or table, it is critical to maintain quality furniture that is comfortable for the customer and works in conjunction with the overall business. For example, a barber is going to need a barber chair that an individual will sit in comfortably, without hurting their back for example, which also allows the barber to easily access their hair to perform a proper haircut. This can mean a seat that is vertically adjustable and a seat that allows the groomer to move the chair in a full circle to quickly get the right angle to get the job done.
The same is true when it comes to tattooing. A tattoo artist should have the right chair for both the client to sit in when he gets the tattoo and the artist to be working when it is done. Let’s look at the features that are most useful when it comes to the client-side tattoo chair, and what benefit using such a chair confers on the business.
The tattoo chair should be adjustable to a certain extent. Adjustable features vary, and not everything has to be able to move. Important adjustable features to look for would be to allow the table to move up and down, to allow the table to tilt up or down at an angle, and to allow for an adjustable headrest. This allows the artist to easily access the area of the body being worked on while also keeping the client comfortable.
What about the equipment itself and what is it made of? It is important to buy a tattoo chair that is resistant to oil and water. The benefit of this is twofold. First, it means that the client is more comfortable, since his sweat will not stick to the chair. Second, it makes cleaning the tattoo chair easier for the owner, especially important when it comes to used tattoo chairs!
Padding is also a critical aspect. Is it comfortable to sit in the chair? Will lying on it become uncomfortable after 30 minutes? Take a test and imagine the customers’ perspective on such questions. They will be the ones on the table, and should not be made to feel uncomfortable getting tattoos.
Purchasing a tattoo chair isn’t rocket science, but it does involve taking a few considerations and thinking outside the box. The general objective of having a tattoo chair is to get one that is comfortable for the client and allows the tattoo artist to do their work at the same time, it is the ideal one to work with when buying a tattoo chair.
