Brighton’s eco-friendly tattoo studio sets new standard

Nestled in the heart of Brighton, Alessia Lo Piccolo’s tattoo studio, Alma, stands as an example of artistry and sustainability.

Alma Studio is meticulously designed to be environmentally conscious, utilising vegan inks, biodegradable supplies, and energy-efficient practices.

Alessia's commitment to sustainability goes beyond just materials; it extends to the entire ethos of the studio, making it a haven for clients who value environmental responsibility alongside their passion for tattoos.

With a picturesque sea view and a calming atmosphere, the studio offers more than just body art; it provides an experience rooted in Alessia’s values and dreams.

A Dream Realised

Alessia, originally from Italy, always envisioned creating her own space where she could merge her love for art with her commitment to the environment.

“It was always my dream to have my own studio,” she reflects.

“A place where I could put my music on, decorate it the way I wanted, and give my clients the perfect experience I had in my head.”

Her studio, now operating for two to three years, is a testament to this vision​.

Eco-Friendly Practices

From the outset, Alessia was determined to ensure Alma adhered to sustainable practices. She uses vegan-friendly inks and biodegradable materials wherever possible.

This commitment extends beyond her tools to the very ethos of her business. The studio itself is designed to be a haven of peace and relaxation, a stark contrast to the often intimidating atmosphere of traditional tattoo studios.

Alessia’s approach is client-centric, focusing on comfort and satisfaction. She ensures there is no rush between appointments, allowing each client to feel valued and at ease.

“For me, customer satisfaction is everything,” Alessia emphasises.

This philosophy is evident in the tranquil environment she has cultivated, where clients can relax and enjoy the sea view during their sessions​.

Inspiring Others

The impact of Alma Studio extends beyond Alessia’s immediate clientele. She hopes to inspire other tattoo artists and business owners to adopt sustainable practices.

“It’s easier than people think to be sustainable,” she says.

Her dedication to eco-friendly solutions demonstrates that businesses can thrive while being kind to the planet. Alessia’s story is not just about running a successful business; it’s about living one’s values and inspiring others to do the same.

She advises aspiring studio owners to stay true to their dreams and principles.

“Understand your clients and make them feel welcome. Don’t be afraid to stand by your values,” she advises​​.

Resident Tattoo Artists from Around the World

Alessia's eco-friendly studio is a green hub for talented tattoo artists from all over the world. Alma currently operates with guest artists who spend a short period working from the studio.

These resident artists bring diverse styles and techniques, enriching the studio's offerings.

She aims to provide a space where resident artists can thrive, not only by offering a place to work but also by supporting their social media presence.

Alessia understands the struggle artists face in balancing their craft with the demands of maintaining a robust online portfolio. Therefore, she includes artist services such as daily photo and video content delivery, helping artists showcase their work and build their brand effortlessly.

By offering this unique service, Alessia hopes to attract a diverse array of artists, each bringing their unique style and flair to the studio.

This initiative will ensure that clients have access to a wide variety of tattoo styles and techniques, making Alma Studio a vibrant and dynamic place for both artists and clients alike.

One of the unique aspects of Alma Studio is the personal connection she builds with each client. Alessia understands the significance of tattoos and the lasting impact they have.

Her approach to client service is deeply personal. She places immense importance on making each client feel comfortable and understood.

This dedication to exceptional service ensures that every tattoo is not only a work of art but also a positive and memorable experience for the client.

Looking ahead, Alessia has big dreams for her studio. She envisions expanding her business in further locations. However, she is mindful of finding the right place and doing at the right time.

Alessia’s journey from Italy to Brighton, and her dedication to merging art with sustainability, serves as an inspiration to others. Alma Studio is more than a place to get a tattoo; it is a testament to the power of living one’s dreams in harmony with one’s values.
