Welcome to W.A.B.A.

We are a group of professionals from the tattoo and piercing industry who are striving towards greater unity within our profession, and a smooth transition from a past without industry regulation, to a rationally regulated future. We hope to serve and include the industry in all decisions regarding our collective futures and provide a forum for handling complaints and concerns. We’ve always enjoyed the freedoms and rewards of our industry and the future looks bright. Please submit any concerns or helpful hints to us and we will do our best to address them.

The future of WABA is in your hands and as the spirit of rotation takes over the board positions I would like to see us all continue our arts with the inspiration and freedom we have always enjoyed alongside a spirit of simple safe responsibility.

As sincerely as I can possibly be,

Damon Conklin
President, Washington Association of Body Artists
