Storytelling

Working as a tattooer, I need to communicate with people a lot. Most of the time I need to talk

with my clients. For that I am not a social person, I do not know how to communicate people, for

example how to make them understand my design ideas and the aftercare process that should be

complied with. Storytelling is a tool I ﬁnd useful in my work.

Storytelling can connect to the emotions and the values of the us. It can be part of my business

and a product I can give to my clients in our communication. It’s about the connection that we

give to people about a piece of informant that we are trying to share. The story is its essence,

which I should spend more time on conveying a message that has logic.

Application

Take aftercare process for an example. Usually I will need to tell the clients like ABC what you

should do and what you should not. Sometimes they just can not remember and understand.

Even though I give them a card printed with the whole process they still just throw away the card

and do not take care of the tattoos properly. Then I am thinking of the storytelling tool. I tell the

clients about the tattoo aftercare process as a story. After three hours, with the second skin cover

what will happen to the skin and the tattoos. Then during the process, in your daily, what kind of

actions will be harmful to the healing process. And during that several days, that is the part of

tattooed skin doing and your immunity system. After three days, what you should do to take care

of the tattoo. What will happen if these are not done. I use a story to connect all the healing

process then the clients can understand.

Insight & Approach

I ﬁnd it quite useful and the story is quite acceptable. It inspired me that in our life, we should use

this storytelling tool more. When people give me their requirements, it will be easy for me if they

tell me a story of their thoughts. How come the ideas and what makes them want what kind of

tattoo. Then I can design the pattern for them. And by this kind of communication we tattooers

and clients can build rapport which is quite important in service industry. We need to understand

the clients and then we can give them what they want as tattoos.

I use this tool beyond my work. It can be used in our daily life too. Storytelling allows us to create

energy and passion and excitement around our surroundings.
