Abstract
A supporting apparatus that can support a user, such as a client receiving a tattoo or a tattoo artist applying a tattoo, is disclosed herein. The supporting apparatus can support the user in a variety of different configurations such that a tattoo artist can comfortably apply a tattoo on the skin of a client, and the client can comfortably receive the tattoo. In some embodiments, the supporting apparatus can be reconfigured between a chair configuration and a bed configuration. In some embodiments, a headrest of the supporting apparatus can be reconfigured between a head supporting configuration and a chin supporting configuration. In some embodiments, a footrest of the supporting apparatus can be reconfigured between a raised configuration and a lowered configuration.

A chair, comprising:
- a seat section;
- and
- a back assembly coupled to the seat section and including:
- a back section configured to be straddled by a user and pivotally coupled to the seat section;
- and
- a headrest having a chin-support portion and an upper head-support portion rotatable relative to the chin-support portion,
- wherein the headrest is reconfigurable between a head support configuration and a chin support configuration, wherein the chin-support portion and the upper head-support portion define a head-receiving opening when the headrest is in the head support configuration, and wherein the upper head-support portion uncovers the chin-support portion to expose a chin-receiving channel of the chin-support portion when the headrest is moved to the chin support configuration.
A support apparatus, comprising:
- a seat section;
- a pair of padded leg sections rotatably coupled to the seat section and configured to support an occupant's lower legs when the occupant sits on the seat section;
- a back section pivotably coupled to the seat section;
- a base coupled to a lower side of the seat section and configured to rest on a flat surface,
- the base having a base end portion;
- and
- a footrest rotatably coupled to the base end portion and spaced apart from the seat section and the pair of padded leg sections, wherein the footrest is reconfigurable between a raised configuration for supporting the occupant's feet when the occupant sits on the seat section, and
- a lowered configuration for supporting the occupant's feet when the occupant sits on the seat section.
A support apparatus, comprising:
- a seat section;
- a straddable back assembly pivotably coupled to the seat section and including a split headrest reconfigurable between a chin-support configuration and a head-support configuration, wherein the split headrest defines a head-receiving opening when the split headrest is in a head support configuration, and wherein the split headrest has a chin-receiving channel that becomes accessible when the split headrest is moved to a chin support configuration.
A support apparatus, comprising:
- a seat assembly configured to support an occupant and including
- a seat section,
- a pair of padded leg sections rotatably relative to the seat section and configured to support an occupant's lower legs when the occupant sits on the seat section, and
- a back section coupled to the seat section;
- and
- a base assembly coupled to the seat assembly and including
- a base holding the seat assembly and configured to rest on a flat surface, and
- an adjustable footrest rotatably coupled to the base and spaced apart from the seat section and the pair of padded leg sections, wherein the footrest is movable relative to the base between
- a raised configuration for supporting the occupant's feet when the occupant sits on the seat section, and
- a lowered configuration for supporting the occupant's feet when the occupant sits on the seat section.
