Why standards matter in Mexico
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.
