Preventative Body Work for Tattooers
As a tattooer, your body is essential to your ability to work and make money and the daily receptive strain from tattooing puts a burden on it, so let's learn how to take care of it.
Alexa Boll, LMT (she/her) will share how you can do preventative body work to maintain your full mobility and be pain free for as long as possible. Simple habits through at-home or in-studio exercises and stretches can help with pain management, mobility, and strength. We'll actually get out of our chairs for this one and practice real time!
Topics include:
- Warm-up routines
- Routine stretches for at home or during work
- Strength and mobility for preventative care

We all know that skincare is important pre and post appointment as well as ongoing maintenance, but do you actually know the biology and science behind it? And with so many new brands popping up all the time claiming to be THE tattoo skincare experts, do you know who to trust?
