TattooNOW - Building a GREAT Tattoo Business
To be great you must organize your talents, work, and businesses for success. If you are tattooing for a living then you are a small business.

In this seminar artists, managers, studio owners, and apprentices will learn to think about all the details of a professional business plan as it relates specifically to high-quality professional tattooing. Topics covered will include clearly defining your mission, how to build a strong business foundation,
assessing your target markets, establishing branding, comparing competitors, clearly defining your services and products, human resources management, and how to track your vital statistics to insure your business fulfills its potential.
