Studio Rules for Guest Artists
At Princelet Tattoo, we operate on a collective, professional approach where every artist contributes to maintaining a clean, organized, and welcoming environment. As a guest artist, your cooperation is essential in upholding the high standards we strive for. Please take note of the following guidelines during your time with us:
Workspace & Cleanliness
• Keep Tattoo Supplies in Their Place: Tattoo-related materials must be kept only where they belong. Do not leave items around the studio. If you’re unsure where something goes or need assistance, please ask Victor (our main on-site artist) or your colleagues.
• End-of-Day Cleanup: Clean your station thoroughly at the end of the day, ensuring it’s returned to the same position as when you arrived. Chairs should also be lifted to make cleaning easier for the cleaning personnel.
• Private Storage: We provide space at each station for your personal belongings. Please use these designated areas for non-tattoo-related items.
Client Management
• Consent Forms: Each client must complete a consent form located in the waiting room. Completed forms should be placed under the same table for safe storage.
• Clients Only: Only one client per artist is allowed in the main studio area at a time. Friends, family, or additional guests are not permitted to accompany them.
Hygiene & Professionalism
• Avoid Cross-Contamination: Do not leave dirty tissues or materials on the floor. Dispose of waste properly, change gloves regularly, and follow strict hygiene protocols.
• Be Respectful: Maintain a professional attitude toward your colleagues, clients, and the studio space.
Communication
• Schedule Changes: Inform Ziggy (via the studio’s Instagram) immediately of any cancellations or changes to your guest spot working days. This ensures smooth coordination and minimizes disruptions.
By following these rules, you help us maintain a safe, professional, and collaborative environment for both clients and artists. If you have any questions or need clarification, feel free to ask Victor or reach out to the team—we’re here to help!
