Pro guides for tattoo artists

Being a tattoo artist doesn't stop at the machine. Running a studio also means knowing how to keep books, understanding your local tax framework (VAT, self-employment status, business income), building an Instagram account that actually sells, picking the right hardware, pricing and negotiating your rates, or anticipating the paperwork of a studio relocation. These topics are rarely covered in masterclasses, and that's exactly what pushed us to create this section. Our guides are written based on real feedback from pro tattoo artists we interviewed, and on our own ongoing research into tools and regulations. Looking for a specific topic that isn't covered yet? Reach out via /en/contact/ — we'll add it to our editorial pipeline.
