PREPARE FOR EXTRA PRECAUTIONS (slightly above our normal) |
|
|
To all Visitors and Clients In preparation for our purposed reopening on June 1st, (YES, we said June 1st. We are actively willing it into existence), we want to share our list of enhanced protocols and measures we will be enforcing once we are able to go back to doing what we love. As you are aware, COVID-19 is still ruling how we interact with the world around us. Your experience with us will be no different, however, we will just make it fun. =) Due to the nature of our industry, we at The Tattooed Lady take sanitation very seriously, and we will continue to maintain proper protocols. However, we added a few extra stipulations and precautions to help avoid the spread of viral infections. To prepare for your visit or upcoming appointments with us, please read through the steps below that we will be following, but also what we ask of you so that our studio will remain a healthy and safe environment. SO WE WILL DO OUR PART TO TAKE CARE OF YOU, PLEASE RETURN THE FAVOR TO HELP TAKE CARE OF US! |
