Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment

At Ikigai Tattoo Studio, we are committed to creating a welcoming, respectful, and accessible experience — both in our studio and on our website.

We understand that accessibility looks different for everyone. Our approach is rooted in open communication, care, and a willingness to work with each client to make the experience as comfortable and inclusive as possible.

Studio Accessibility

kigai Tattoo Studio is a small, private, appointment-based studio in Johannesburg.

While the space has physical limitations, we aim to support clients by:

Allowing extra time for appointments where needed
Offering flexible seating and positioning where possible
Scheduling quieter sessions
Taking regular breaks
Communicating clearly and at a comfortable pace

The studio includes standard building access, seating in the tattoo area, and on-site restroom facilities. Access may involve steps or narrow areas.

If you have specific mobility, sensory, or access requirements, we strongly encourage you to contact us before booking so we can discuss your needs and assess how best to support you.

Sensory & Comfort Considerations

Tattooing can be physically and sensory intense. We aim to maintain a calm environment and are happy to discuss:

Lighting preferences
Noise levels
Session length and pacing

Your comfort and well-being are important to us throughout the process.

Website Accessibility

We are committed to making the Ikigai Tattoo Studio website accessible and usable for as many people as possible.

Our goal is to align with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, where reasonably possible.

Measures we take include:

Clear, readable typography and colour contrast
Logical heading structure for screen readers
Descriptive link text
Alt text for images where appropriate
Keyboard navigability for key site functions

We continue to review and improve the site as part of our ongoing commitment to accessibility.

Limitations & Ongoing Improvement

Despite our best efforts, some areas of the website or studio may not yet be fully accessible. Accessibility is an ongoing process, and we are committed to making improvements over time.

If you encounter any barriers — digital or physical — we want to know.

Assistance & Feedback

If you:

Have difficulty accessing any part of our website
Need help with booking or communication
Would like to discuss access needs before your appointment
