Section 1: Explain Fully the Nature of the Business
Immortal Body in Ink would like to represent the community of Atlantic Beach as a tattoo and
body piercing studio with the highest standards and most professional studio possible.
Our studio will be unique in that it will represent in a clean and sterile environment. Individual
booths will afford our artist and customers privacy allowing focused attention on the customer.
The studio will be staffed with professional, friendly people representing 25 years of combined
tattoo experience. The piercing staff will have combined experience of ten years. Both artist
are members of NPA (National Pierces Association), a nationwide organization dedicated to
safe and professional body piercing. •
All members working in the studio are Red Cross certified in CPR and first aid. This is a
standard Immortal Body in Ink considers important in better serving our customers.
No one under the age of 18 will receive body piercing in this studio without the written consent
of their parent or legal guardian. Both parent and child will be requested to sign the studio's
standard release form before any procedure will .be pertormed.
Immortal Body in Ink permits only the use of pure metals such as surgical stainless steel,
titanium, or niobium in initial body piercing. Gold is not authorized due to its impurity which
could create health risk in fresh piercing. Gold however is safe after piercing is healed. Again,
` all of our piercing methods are set to standard in accordance with the National Pierces
Association.
Tattoo standards will not permit anyone under the age of 18 to be tattooed. Anyone appearing
to be or known to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs will not be given a tattoo. Our job
is to provide the safest and most effective methods in our field to our customers. Drugs and
alcohol are not permitted on or in our studio and anyone not complying with this will be asked to
leave the premises.
Any woman appearing to be pregnant or stating that they are positive for pregnancy will also
not be permitted to be tattooed or receive body piercing. This will be for the safety of the
mother and child.
The standards stated above are not from Florida Statute 59-R but are the standards for this
studio. A copy of these will be made available to our customers. The studio will only specialize
in tattoo and body piercing and will not engage in the sale of any other articles not related to
these two services. It is our sincere desire to be a safe and sterile studio for those customers
seeking the aesthetic services we offer.
Sincerely,
The staff of Immortal Body in Ink
