Tattoo artists often work for hours in precise, detailed positions, making them highly susceptible to upper-body strain—especially in shoulders, arms and back.
- Repetitive hand and arm movements, combined with the fine motor control required for intricate designs, place constant stress on the deltoids, forearms, and wrists.
- Long sessions spent leaning over clients or holding arms elevated create tension and fatigue in the shoulders and upper back.
- Awkward or static positions can lead to stiffness, muscle soreness, and sometimes chronic back pain.
Over time, these strains can affect both performance and overall health. Innovative solutions like supportive exoskeletons can help tattoo artists reduce fatigue, protect their shoulders and arms, and continue their work comfortably for years.
