COVID-19 INFORMATION
At Red Tattoo and Piercing, we have always followed strict hygiene protocols regardless of Covid-19.
At the studio we ensure that we follow these practices to make it a safe environment for ourselves and our clients.
Thank you in advance for assisting us with these measures to ensure we create a safe environment for everyone.
• Disposable gloves are used when carrying out any procedure with a client.
• Gloves are regularly changed and a strict “no touch” technique is in place.
• All equipment used on clients is either disposable (eg, all needles) or sterilised in an autoclave (eg, scissors).
• Work areas are cleaned with high grade medical disinfectant at the start of the day, between clients, and end of day.
• Any contaminated material is disposed of in a suitable clinical waste bin or sharps container.
• Hand washing facilities and hand sanitiser are available in each work room.
The Corn Exchange is operating a one way system – please follow the signs and arrows and allow extra time within the building. The toilets are closed to the general public. We recognise this will be a problem for clients who are with us for several hours, so we will need to let you into the toilets with a code.
Studio and operational changes & updates:
• All appointments (cosmetic tattooing, body tattooing, piercings & consultations) are being done by appointment only.
We are currently not open to the public so only clients with appointments will be allowed into the studio.
• We are asking all clients come alone to reduce footfall in the shop. Friends & family are not permitted into the studio.
• Please arrive on time and not really early / late to reduce the amount of people waiting in reception at any one time.
• There will be an extra Covid-19 form to complete as well as the usual consent form.
• Please bring minimal items with you to reduce risk of cross contamination - e.g) coat & 1 handbag.
• No food will be allowed to be consumed in the studio so please eat properly before you arrive. You will need to leave the studio if you need a snack (for longer sessions).
• Please bring a drink with you. We can only provide water in a disposable cup.
• Please bring a face mask - we will have disposable paper masks available at the studio if you do not have your own. It will be compulsory to wear this during the treatment.
• If you want to wash your hands before we start, there is a sink next to my work station.
• The door to the studio will be left open during trading hours reducing contact with door handles etc.
Piercing information:
• If you’re interested in getting a piercing at the same time as your tattoo, we have a new online booking system for piercing appointments. You can remotely book an appointment using this system. I recommend booking your piercing for before your tattoo. Please make sure you eat properly beforehand so you aren't turned away for your piercing appointment.
• We have moved all retail purchases to online only (unless you have a pre booked appointment and would like to buy something while you are in store). Jewellery, prints, t shirts etc. can be purchased via our BigCartel or a postal service can be arranged via email or phone.
Feeling unwell: If you don't feel well, are coughing, have difficulty breathing, have a temperature, have recently been taking care of someone who is sick or has been quarantined due to Covid-19, please let me know so we can reschedule.
