The Hive, SLC Reopening Procedures

Here are the additional procedures we will be making on top of our sterilization process tattoo shops are required to follow pre-quarantine.
  • Everyone will wash their hands with soapand water and then apply hand sanitizer upon arrival.
  • Staggered appointments so that fewer people are in the shop at a time.
  • Doors will be locked to prevent walk-ins so you'll just need to text your artist when you arrive. 
  • Everyone must have a mask/face covering. Artists will have medical grade masks to protect themselves. Should you forget your mask we have them for sale for $15.
  • No children.
  • One client per artist. No guests may come with you. 
  • If you have a “double date” style appt. such as matching tattoos or both getting tattooed back to back, only one person can come in at a time. The other person will need to come back later or make a separate appointment.
  • Temperatures will be checked at the door with a sterilized touch thermometer and will be logged for Health Department compliance. Anyone, artists and clients alike, with a fever of 100.5 degrees or higher will not be able to be in the shop. Any appointments will be rescheduled.
  • If you’ve have ANY Covid-19 symptoms or have been around any one that has been sick your appointment will be postponed. Please try to communicate with your artist ASAP.  Medical professionals that treat Covid-19 patients or paramedics / EMTS, etc. will need to postpone until further notice.
  • No longer using the drinking fountain in the shop so please bring your own container for water and your own snacks.
  • The shop will be investing in a UV money sterilizer, but until then we will be only taking electronic or card payments.
  • Artists will sterilize areas where customers have been before the shop opens, during the appointments before continuing to tattoo, and in the evening at close.
  • Please read posted guidelines in the shop upon entry.
  • Consent and Release Forms are being converted to electronic format to minimize sharing pens. 
  • Expect a longer and thorough process for your tattoo as we adjust to the changes we need to increase everyone's safety while still providing a high level of customer enjoyment.
