We are sorry to announce that we have implemented a NO VIDEO OR PHOTOGRAPHY inside our establishment as of DEC.2,2023. Here are just a few of the issues that arise we would like to avoid.
We understand collecting and documenting firsthand snips of your personal experience getting a tattoo or piercing. We have liabilities at stake inside the studio and we have decided to stop allowing videography inside the studio. Please consult with your artist or piecer prior to any video or photos inside the studios.
Client Privacy: Video recording can capture the identity of clients, their tattoos, and piercing locations. Many clients value their privacy, and allowing recording may compromise their confidentiality and personal space.
Artistic Integrity: Tattoo and piercing studios often pride themselves on the unique and customized nature of their work. Allowing video recording may risk the reproduction or replication of artistic designs without consent.
Health and Safety Regulations: Studios are subject to health and safety regulations to prevent the spread of infections. Video recording may inadvertently capture aspects of the studio’s processes that could be misinterpreted or misunderstood, potentially leading to concerns about hygiene or safety.
Distraction and Disruption: Videography can be distracting and disruptive to both clients and artists. The studio environment requires focus and concentration, and constant recording may interfere with the smooth operation of the establishment.
Consent Challenges: Obtaining explicit consent from every individual in the studio for video recording can be logistically challenging. Clients and staff may not be comfortable being filmed, and respecting their wishes is crucial.
Intellectual Property Concerns: Tattoo and piercing artists often consider their work to be intellectual property. Allowing videography increases the risk of unauthorized distribution or reproduction of their designs.
Security: Video footage can inadvertently capture sensitive information about the studio layout, security measures, or the storage of valuable equipment. Restricting videography helps maintain the security of the studio.
Social Media Policies: Many studios prefer to control the content that represents their brand on social media. Allowing clients to record and share videos may lead to content that does not align with the studio’s image or values.
Minimizing Liability: Prohibiting videography helps minimize potential liability issues. Studios may be held accountable for any incidents or misunderstandings arising from videos captured on their premises.
Preserving the Studio’s Reputation: Studios often want to maintain a professional image. Allowing uncontrolled videography could lead to the circulation of content that may not accurately represent the studio or its services.
