Hosting an event can be daunting as the pressure of pleasing the crowd can be immense. However, more people are starting to use giant inflatables to bring the wow factor. A giant inflatable can be anything you like too. From an enormous inflatable panda to a big bottle of bubbly champagne, there’s a giant inflatable to suit your event. You might have some questions about how best to use them and what safety features you need to consider, so here are some top tips!

Check The Weather

If you’re planning on holding your event outdoors, it’s crucial that you check the weather before you set up your giant inflatable. If there are talks of torrential rain and gale-force winds, you might need to reconsider where you place the inflatable. If possible, it could be moved indoors so that it’s protected by the shelter. If the weather is supposed to be terrible, most of your event-goers will most likely head to the indoor part anyway, so they’ll still get to benefit from your inflatable.

Consider Your Crowd

It’s important to think about what type of crowd you’ll have at your event. If it’s a children’s themed one, you might want to go for more interactive inflatables like bouncy castles or tunnels so that they can get the most out of them. Similarly, if you’re event is a sports competition, you could go for a unique entrance and finish line to help signpost the athletes. If you’re merely promoting a business, you could even get bespoke giant inflatables of your product or business logo. Using the right giant inflatable can really make a difference to the crowd’s impression of your event.

How Much Space?

Giant inflatables are as the name suggests…giant, so you need to make sure that you’ve got plenty of space for them to be installed without restrictions. You don’t want to spend some of your event’s budget on something that you can’t even use on the day.

What’s Your Theme?

As well as your crowd, you want to think about what kind of theme you’re going for. If you’re hosting a music-themed event, why not go for giant instrument inflatables. Or if you’re hosting a promotional event, you could have an inflatable blimp to really show off the business.

Safety First

Installing giant inflatables isn’t something you should attempt on your own. Most companies will send a company representative to safely install and dismantle it for you. There have been tragic accidents that occur when they aren’t fitted correctly, so you want to ensure you eliminate the risk of this ever happening by leaving it up to the professionals. If you’re also hosting an event where children are present, make sure that they’re with a responsible adult at all times when around the inflatables.

Using giant inflatables can be a wonderful way to bring joy to your event, but it’s imperative that they’re installed safely. Some companies will even offer to manage your full event for you, so you have even less to stress about. By utilising these simple tips, you can be sure your event goes off without a hitch and your crowd remember it for years to come.

Sarah Mitchell stood nervously in front of the mirror contemplating the tattoo design she’d dreamed of wearing for years. Like many first-time tattoo clients, her excitement was tempered by uncertainty: would the design complement her shoulder as she imagined? Before she could further doubt, she decided to give PRIC’D a try, and to her surprise, this decision changed her uncertainty into confidence through the platform’s innovative pre-visualization technology.

Introducing a New Tattoo Experience

Many people find that getting a tattoo that doesn’t meet their expectations can be a devastating experience, both emotionally and financially. Many individuals spend months, sometimes years, planning their perfect design, only to be left with permanent artwork that fails to capture their vision. Clients often feel disappointed due to misaligned placement, poor consultation, or designs that don’t translate well from paper to skin.

Entrepreneur Kayhan Kiani saw this challenge and hopes to change this experience. Under his leadership, Kiani introduced PRIC’D, a platform streamlining the traditional tattoo consultation process by eliminating design uncertainty and lengthy waiting times through advanced technology.

Clients can easily upload their tattoo designs, visualize them directly on a digital 3D model that matches their unique skin tone, and preview exactly how the artwork will appear on their body.

With this interactive 3D tattoo preview, clients have the flexibility to proceed, request specific adjustments, or explore entirely new design options. Once the final design is chosen, they receive an instant, accurate quote and can immediately book their appointment—all within the same seamless platform.

“Many clients come to us with beautiful ideas but are hesitant about committing to permanent body art without seeing how it will look on their specific body type and placement,” explains Kiani. “PRIC’D’s pre-visualization technology eliminates this uncertainty, giving clients the confidence to proceed with their dream tattoos.”

Kiani believes that when the tattoo industry combines advanced technology with artistic excellence and unwavering professional standards, it creates an experience that transforms how people approach body art.

A Personalized Approach to Body Art

PRIC’D’s pre-visualization service is part of Kiani’s comprehensive consultation process under its premier tattoo company, INK’D London. The studio balances technological innovation with artistic proficiency. Its specialized artists, including experts in realism, portraits, blackwork, fine line work, and even Japanese Neo-Trad, use this technology to help clients refine their design choices and placement options.

When clients visit INK’D London, they work closely with dedicated consultants who guide them through the design process. With PRIC’D’s real-time size, placement, and orientation adjustments, clients can confirm that each tattoo suits the client’s body and vision. Because of this, high-profile clients have made INK’D London their home, and different artist collaborations have been featured there.

Kiani mentions, “Getting a tattoo should be a fun and seamless experience. We at INK’D, London, with our new platform, PRIC’D, eliminate all the what-ifs so our clients leave the shop satisfied with their new tattoos.”

Expanding the Best Tattoo Excellence Globally

This new pre-visualization tattoo technology represents Kiani’s commitment to establishing INK’D London as a global leader in body art. Allowing clients to preview their tattoo designs directly on their skin before any permanent ink is applied addresses a common concern among tattoo enthusiasts and first-timers. This technology enhances client confidence and showcases how INK’D London and PRIC’D merge unconventional solutions with traditional artistry.

Kiani mentions, “INK’D London with PRIC’D aim to redefine the perception of tattoos as part of self-expression and fashion globally by setting consistent quality standards in all of our procedures and introducing professional tattoo services to regions where they were previously unavailable.”
