Allow tattoo and piercing studios to reopen.
Rejected

What the petition asks
Allow U.K. tattoo and piercing parlours to open along side hairdressers and tattooists. We should not be in the sam category as nightclubs and gyms!
PPE (gloves and masks) are currently and have always been worn in tattoo studios, we clean each station throughly in between clients, along with the studio being deep cleaned, everything is sanitised or disposable and we follow strict health guidelines, this was all before covid and we have more precaution in place now. Most of us don’t allow walk in appointments. How can opening pubs be safe but opening somewhere sterile like a tattoo studio be unsafe?!
