Few pieces of tattoo shop furniture see as much use as the tattoo chairs artists use while tattooing — artists spend hours every day sitting in tattoo chairs. When it comes time to equip your tattoo studio, solid tattoo chairs are some of the best things your money can buy.

What to Consider When Purchasing a Tattoo Artist Chair

There are plenty of tattoo chairs on the market, but knowing how to evaluate and compare them can be difficult for those who’ve never done it before. There are four basic criteria by which you should evaluate tattoo chairs:

  1. Comfort: This is by far the most important criteria when it comes to choosing a tattoo chair for yourself. After all, you’re going to be spending many, many hours sitting in it. A comfortable and ergonomic tattoo chair will provide good stability and support while working and help you avoid soreness, fatigue, and injury. 
  2. Adjustability: Tattoo artists work on all parts of the body, which means they need to be able to sit and work in different positions, depending on which area of the body is being tattooed. Adjustable or hydraulic tattoo chairs help accommodate these different positions while maintaining the overall comfort of the chair. 
  3. Cost: There are plenty of expensive pieces of equipment to purchase when setting up a tattoo shop, and tattoo chairs are certainly one of them. As tempting as it might be to buy the most affordable one and call it a day, however, a tattoo chair is one item that’s worth paying a premium for if it scores high on the other criteria. There are tattoo chairs for a range of budgets, and we recommend getting the best ones you can afford.
  4. Cleanliness: Hygiene and cleanliness are essential when tattooing, so it’s important to have tattoo chairs that are easy and quick to keep clean.

With these criteria in mind, you’re ready to start shopping for tattoo chairs.
