Accessibility
At FLT we believe that everyone deserves to feel comfortable and supported when getting a tattoo and that accessibility is a fundamental right.
If you have any questions or concerns about accessibility and how we can accomodate you, please don't hesitate to email to flttattoostudio@gmail.com.

Accessibility for Neurodiverse Clients
FLT Tattoo Studio recognises the unique needs of neurodiverse individuals and strives to create a welcoming and supportive environment. We understand that sensory sensitivities and communication preferences vary among individuals, and we are committed to accommodating these needs to the best of our ability.
Sensory Considerations:
-
Noise Levels: While our studio is open-plan, we are mindful of noise levels and can provide earplugs or clients can bring headphones to help reduce auditory stimulation.
-
Lighting: The cool daylight LED ceiling lighting and lamps in the studio can be bright to allow our artists to do their work, but clients can bring sunglasses or other visual aides to reduce overstimulation. We can also provide dark sunglasses.
-
Visual Distractions: We can provide screens to minimize visual distractions upon request.
Communication and Support:
-
Structured Communication: We prefer communication via email in order to keep track of important booking information, but to accommodate different preferences we can organise in-person consultations.
-
Appointment Flexibility: We can work with clients to schedule appointments at quieter times of the day if preferred (within the artists own schedule)
-
Individualised Support: Our artists are trained to be patient and understanding of individual needs, and we encourage open communication to ensure a positive experience.
Additional Considerations
-
Sensory Tools: Clients are welcome to bring their own sensory tools or comfort items to their appointment.
-
Support Persons: We allow one support person to accompany the client during the appointment if needed.
