Before booking
Ask whether the studio or artist is BAQA registered, what training they hold, and whether they can explain the procedure and risks in plain language.
At the appointment
Look for clean working areas, fresh single-use items, appropriate protective equipment, written consent and a calm consultation process.
After the procedure
Clients should leave with aftercare instructions, warning signs to watch for, contact details and a clear understanding of healing expectations.
