Why standards matter in Switzerland
Body art clients often compare studios by price, location and photographs. BAQA encourages a more complete decision: clients should also ask about training, written consent, hygiene controls, equipment handling, aftercare advice, age checks, insurance and complaint procedures.
Regulations can differ between regions, provinces, states and local authorities. A BAQA-minded studio should be able to explain how it meets local duties while also following a broader professional standard.

For studios
BAQA registration gives responsible studios a clearer public signal that standards matter, and it gives clients a practical reason to trust the process behind the artwork.
