SMP Standards in Somalia

Why standards matter in Somalia

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 clients

Ask whether your artist or studio is BAQA registered and whether they can explain hygiene, consent, aftercare, record keeping and complaint procedures before the appointment starts.

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.

For training providers

BAQA-recognized education helps align course outcomes with safety, ethics, documentation and the realities of professional body art practice.
