Piercing Anesthetic Display Cases Like This Hush Case Make a Great Upsell for the Front of Your ShopThe thought of getting your shop organized can be daunting, but our organizational tips and helpful accessories make it a breeze. We walk through the most common tattoo and piercing shop areas that need organizing and make suggestions for how to setup each area to merchandize products in the best way and ensure that your employees can work as efficiently as possible.

 

Front of Store Displays

The first thing existing and potential clients see when they enter your shop is the front of your store, where anyone from the public can peruse your product selection. Ideally, this space should be merchandized in an eye-catching way that draws people’s attention to the great up-sells you offer–things like body jewelry, tattoo and piercing aftercare products, alternative apparel, and other such merchandise. Keeping your displays organized will help you stay on top of your inventory and make your product offerings as accessible and appealing to customers as possible. What tools can you use to organize your front-of-shop displays? Here are a few ideas to get you started:
 

Body Jewelry Display Cases, Boxes & Acrylic Stands

When you’re laying out lots of little pieces of body jewelry with multicolored tops, like tongue rings and dermal tops, it’s best to utilize glass-topped display boxes and acrylic displays created just for this purpose to showcase jewelry in the most appealing manner. These tools are also space-efficient, allowing you to show off the most jewelry even in limited spaces.

We offer both empty and full jewelry display cases, so you can either fill an empty case with jewelry you’ve personally selected or purchase pre-assembled cases that arrive with diverse assortments of body jewelry packed carefully inside, ready to display. We can even create custom engraved jewelry displays for you that feature your business logo or other graphics in an artistic way.

Here are a few examples of some of the more traditional body jewelry display cases we offer, as well as some of our customizable acrylic display blocks:

Empty & Pre-Filled Jewelry Display Cases & Custom-Engraved Jewelry Displays

Custom Engraved Acrylic Body Jewelry Display Blocks Custom Engraved Acrylic Gift Card or Business Card Display Stand Custom Engraved 8-Piece Belly Button Ring Displays
Custom Acrylic Jewelry Display Blocks Customized Business or Gift Card Display Engraved 8-Piece Belly Ring Display Blocks

 

Unique Jewelry Display Stands

To add points of interest in between standard jewelry display boxes and acrylic body jewelry display blocks, intermingle unique, decorative jewelry hangers like our plug display statues and our brass hangers for displaying regular and large-gauge earrings. These pieces will add variance to the heights of your displays and draw people’s attention to some of your more expensive pieces. You can also use body bits mounted in stands to display jewelry for specific piercings, like lip rings on a pair of silicone lips, tongue rings on silicone tongues, and even CBRs and bent barbells on penis-shaped silicone body bits. Shaped mirrors and solar-powered rotating displays provide another option for displaying special body jewelry and adding variety to your jewelry display cases. Here are a few examples of the unique display options we offer:

Unique Body Jewelry Displays

Decorative Brass Stands for Displaying Earrings 3-Piece Acrylic Display Stand Set Aluminum Display Stand for A Pound of Fresh Synthetic Arms

Consider mixing a variety of these different types of displays in a creative way to give each of your cases a distinct theme. You can have your tattoo artists decorate A Pound of Flesh hands and feet and mix them into your displays to create eye-catching centerpieces, too.

At The Studio at Painful Pleasures, we created a number of themed display cases that focus on different types of products we sell through Painfulpleasures.com. One case contains medical supplies, another is filled with aftercare products, several focus on our unique organic body jewelry, and so on. Take a look at the two photos below to get a small peek into our unique organic jewelry display cases, or visit our Instagram page to see photos of our other displays. (Note that most of our Studio photos were posted in 2013 right after we setup the display cases, so you’ll have to scroll down a way to see our display photos.) Hopefully these images will get your creative juices flowing and help you think up fun ways you can display the products you sell using our stands, jewelry cases, body bits, assorted body jewelry, and other merchandising tools:

Many of our tattoo and piercing aftercare products are available to shop owners, tattoo artists and piercers in convenient aftercare display cases and dispensers. By purchasing aftercare products in these cases, you’ll save money and receive the aftercare products you order in the most easily-displayable sets possible–sets you can put on top of counters and shelves throughout your shop, or that you can group together into a single themed piercing and tattoo aftercare display cabinet.

Organizing Your Work Spaces

Once the front of your shop is well organized and attractively merchandized in a way that will help you sell the most body jewelry, aftercare supplies and other merchandise, it’s time to turn your attention to organizing the back of your shop, including your body modification artists’ work spaces. We offer a variety of organizational tools appropriate for all work spaces, from clean rooms to modification rooms and beyond. We also carry accessories designed specifically to make tattoo and piercing artists more efficient by providing them with organizational tools specific to their crafts. Let’s take a look at each of these three key areas separately: General organizational tools, organizational accessories for tattoo artists, and organizational tools for piercers.
 

General Organizational Tools for Your Shop

There are certain supplies to which tattoo and piercing artists and general shop staff all need access that can be organized more efficiently if you utilize the many tools available to you. Wall-Mounted Sharps Container Lock BoxesFor instance, Sharps containers can be wall-mounted in special locked boxes specifically designed to hold Sharps containers, which will free up workspace on counter tops that may currently house your Sharps containers.

Glove boxes can also be mounted on the wall in glove dispensers, which should be placed in convenient areas where they’ll be in easy reach anytime an employee needs a fresh pair of gloves. Place a wall-mounted glove dispenser on the wall in your clean room, and put one in each of your body modification work spaces. You might even place a glove box dispenser near where you store cleaning supplies, so that employees can quickly grab a pair of gloves before cleaning up your shop.

You can store medical disposables like cotton swabs, cotton balls and tongue depressors in metal medical canisters on counter tops in areas where these items are used most frequently. Wall-mount rinse cups in cup dispensers near sinks and in piercing and tattoo work spaces. Fill sundry jars with Petrify tea bags so they’re in easy reach when you need one to soak up fluids in a Sharps container or solidify inky water from tattooing so it can be tossed in the trash instead of poured down a sink. You can also place anything from alcohol swab packets to Prevantics swabs to aftercare sample pouches in plastic storage jars, hang convenient automatic soap dispensers by your sinks, store dental bibs in dispensers in tattoo and piercing work spaces, and more. We even offer wall-mounted surgical marker dispensers and toothpick holders to simplify the way you store these modification supplies. Take a closer look at some of these helpful organizational tools below, and click on any you’re interested in reading about further or purchasing.

Tattoo Workspace Organizers & Accessories

Tattoo artists use products that piercers do not, and vice verse, so it makes sense that there are organizational tools and accessories available designed specifically to make tattoo artists’ jobs easier.
