Tattoo artists are well known for their eclectic style, with many customers choosing their tattoo parlour based on the look of their staff.
And, of course, the haircut, jewellery and tattoos of employees all help to create a brand, so tattoo artists should make sure they don’t overlook any detail when it comes to how they present themselves.
In terms of jewellery, there is only one answer and that is stainless steel rings, earrings and pendants. For the following practical and aesthetic reasons, stainless steel remains the number one choice.
- Hygienic
For any good-quality tattoo artist, the most important thing to consider is hygiene, and the good news is that stainless steel jewellery is hypoallergenic and can be easily sterilised without causing damage.
This means if it comes into contact with a customer’s skin, it will not cause an allergic reaction. It is also safe to wear for those with sensitive skin, helping them avoid dermatitis and rashes.
Lastly, it is easily sterilised, as it can cope with high temperatures without deteriorating, so tattoo artists can regularly clean them.
- Highly durable
Another advantage of wearing stainless steel jewellery is that it is highly durable, so it will last a long time, no matter how much it is handled, bumped or dropped.
It will not corrode unlike gold or silver, as water and even chemicals do not result in oxidisation.
- Low maintenance
Stainless steel also requires very low maintenance, as the only thing you have to do to keep it looking its best is washing it with water and soap - no polishing or chemical solutions are involved!
- Not heavy
Good news for tattooists is that stainless steel rings are not heavy in the slightest. In fact, they are lightweight, comfortable and you’d hardly notice they are there. This is ideal when you’re using your hands all day long and you need them to remain steady and not tired.
- Loads of styles
Nobody wants to look the same as other people, which is why stainless steel jewellery is a great option as there are so many styles, shapes and designs available, helping tattoo artists to really show off their personality with their choice of accessory.
