Can I make $1M + working as a solo cosmetic tattoo artist?
What sarah amundsen said, plus the days you go without seeing a client at all. If it was as easy as opening doors and having people in your chair everyday, there would be a lot more people doing it. The reality is there isn’t that large of a demand for cosmetic tattooing, which is part of the reason they can charge $1000 dollars for an hour session. Low demand amounts to smaller amount of people offering the service, which drives the prices up, which helps keep the demand low. It would be much more reasonable to expect one hour session a week, than to expect one a day. And that is assuming you are good enough to compete with local suppliers, and that the demand is enough to generate 54 new customers every year, that only want to come to you.
Can you get rich as a tattoo artist?
I would say it depends on three things.1) your definition of rich. My definition—having enough money to pay all the bills, pay for some entertainment and still sock away enough for retirement. So, not exactly millions, but more than I'm making as a nurse, yeah buddy, you may be able to make bank.2) your skill. If you're driven enough to up your game, and you develop great skills in multiple techniques, you're going to have more customers, and possibly even some publicity, like getting featured in a tattoo magazine or show. develop a killer portfolio. Develop your customer service skills and personality so that you get repeat customers who come straight to you when they want ink. Become a person who is well known for quality work, pleasant demeanor, concern for client safety, ability to pull off exactly what the customer wants.3) luck and location: it will be substantially harder to develop a large, well paying customer base If you are working from a tiny little country town where the only jobs around are at Walmart and sonic. People get tattoos in the country of course. But they may not have as much money to do so with as someone in, say, chicago or la. Of course in bigger cities you get the competition problem, which is where your skills—not just as an artist but as a salesperson too—come into play. If you're plying your trade in a very conservative little backwater you'd probably have fewer customers. There are still a few holdouts here in Louisiana who are all “"it's a sin to mark up your body” and “"you won't get no job if you get tattoos” and “"only thugs and hookers amd biker gangs get ink”. Kind of shocking to me, but yeah, we have them. Traditionally you tend to get more customers near college towns, military bases and tourist towns. College kids and tourists can be impulsive and military guys often want to commemorate fallen buddies or show their pride in their work With ink.
Have tattoos gone too mainstream?
If THAT is a concern for you (basically “will people think I’m too extra, too bougie, whatever…”), don’t get one. You are. If your motivation for getting a tattoo is to impress people with how you look, you are barking up the wrong tree. And you will absolutely end up with a tattoo you’re ashamed of.
What do you think of my custom tattoo and what would have been a reasonable price for it?
Your tattoo is phenomenal. A reasonable price would have been 650 (100 dollars/hr) at least, 900 would have been fair (150/hr). Most tattoo shops charge betw 100-200hr. 10% is more than enough for a tip, however because you were honestly under-charged, it was your first, and the work is superb I would have given at least 75 dollars tip. The shading is fantastic and I can see no blowouts despite being around some pretty bony areas and I blew it up huge on my computer to look for blowouts. artists have told me that approximately 10% of people tip. I'm on the East Coast. Top guys around here like Shane Oneil or Myke Chambers charge @ least 150/hr

How much is tattoo shop owner’s salary?
This is highly variable, from a one person proprietorship to a larger shop that is incorporated and has a large group of busy artists.If you are in an area with a lot of competition without a lot of demand, things may be difficult. Best situation to be in for a business is in an area with rising demand, so people are travelling to get service/products (of any kind) and you open a place in order to meet that need.A new business may never break into profit and will close. About 75% of new business fail in the first year, half close within five years, and only a third of those still exist after ten years.A business plan that might shed a little light on the matter:Tattoo Parlor Business Plan
