BAQA body art standards
BAQA standards help clients and professionals focus on the systems behind a procedure: hygiene, consent, equipment, records, aftercare and accountability.
BAQA Body Art Standards
Core BAQA standards for hygiene, consent, records, aftercare, training and professional conduct in body art services.
This visual is reused across BAQA public guidance to support clear recognition of the standards topic without generating unnecessary image files.
Safety and hygiene
Studios should be able to explain infection control, single-use items, reusable equipment processing, personal protective equipment and safe waste handling.
Consent and records
Clients should receive clear information before a procedure, and studios should keep records that show consent, relevant client history, products used and aftercare guidance.
Professional conduct
Responsible body art work includes honest communication, appropriate age checks, respect for client welfare, transparent pricing and a clear route for concerns.
