Abstract: A method for operating a tattoo studio includes identifying a customer selection of a tattoo design and a bin designator for a stencil for the tattoo design; locating a storage bin containing a stencil for the tattoo design; and scanning a bar code assigned to the stencil. The method can also include scanning at least a second barcode associated with a tattoo enhancement including a non-standard paint, an additional paint color, or a mixture of paint colors. Inventory control is verified using a match code and pre-packaged sets of numbered stencils.
