Chairs & couches: The foundation for artist and client
This is the biggest investment in your studio, and for good reason. The bed for the customer and the work chair for you form an ergonomic unit that determines whether you are fit after work or can hardly move due to back pain.
What do you use them for? The couch is where the customer often spends several hours. It must be able to move them into every conceivable position—sitting, lying down, on their stomach, or on their side. Your work chair is your tool for moving flexibly around this customer without getting up.
What should you look for when buying? With height-adjustable couches, you can choose between hydraulic and electric models. Electric couches have the advantage that you can adjust the height and angle using a foot pedal while you work – your hands remain sterile and your workflow is not interrupted. For piercers, it is particularly important that the chair can be adjusted to an almost 90-degree sitting position, as many facial piercings are best done while sitting. Look for removable armrests and a head hole for prone positions.
Ergonomics is the magic word when it comes to your work chair. We recommend saddle stools with backrests. They tilt the pelvis slightly forward, which supports the natural S-curve of the spine. This prevents the typical "tattoo artist's hunchback." The casters must be "hair-proof," i.e., designed so that they do not get clogged with hair or lint and become blocked. As with all our furniture, the upholstery must be resistant to disinfectants and extremely abrasion-resistant. Investing in a professional bed and an ergonomic stool is an investment in your own career—because only a pain-free artist is a good artist.
