Accountability Standard
Still Not Asking For It emphasizes the important role and responsibilities that tattoo artists and studios have as body workers. While we can contribute to uplifting our community in various ways, prioritizing the improvements that need to be made within our own establishment is particularly significant.
In our view, accountability involves creating avenues for receiving constructive feedback from clients who have entrusted us with their bodies, as well as from individuals working in our shops. It is crucial to remain receptive to their perspectives and to consider options for change and development when necessary.
We aim to ensure that tattoo artists and staff are aware of the importance of maintaining healthy practices and behaviors. We also strive to provide educational resources that enhance their understanding of the diverse experiences and vulnerabilities of others. Setting clear expectations for healthy conduct is essential for any tattoo studio aligned with the SNAFI principles.
Additionally, a collective commitment from the team to uphold these values is a critical aspect of accountability. Prioritizing the willingness to learn from mistakes and to build trust within the community is paramount for anyone involved in the Still Not Asking For It initiative.
