Tattoo Business

There comes a time for every budding tattoo artist when they will want to look at setting up their own tattoo business. If you have worked for a considerable time in an already established local shop gathering the necessary confidence, skills and knowledge, you maybe ready to make it on your own.

Once you've decided you want to go it alone, there are several steps to take. You should first of all look to acquiring premises, and then equipping that shop with the best equipment you can afford.

There is, of course, much more to running a businesses than this, you must ensure that your marketing campaigns are good enough to keep bringing business through the door, as well as keeping on top of your books and costs.

Making sure that you don't ignore any particular area of your business is very important. If you don't like bookkeeping, it is very easy to ignore it and let it pile up. If you do this, however, you will be unaware of the state of health of your business. Up to date books will show you how successful or otherwise your business is.

There are only 5 numbers that you can affect in order to improve your business, they are; volume of leads, number of conversions into sales, number of transactions, average sale price, and gross margin %.

These are the only numbers that matter to you as a business owner. You can only get more people as potential customers, then you can convert more of them into customers, then you can sell more to them (more tattoos).

You should look beyond just the operations that your business carries out and the services it provides and think about the health of the business as a whole on a long term basis. A very important investment to consider is the tattooing equipment, chairs, tables and other accessories.

You should always buy the highest quality equipment that you can possibly afford as this will not only improve your ground level operations, but it will improve your businesses image as well as providing you with the best and most durable equipment available meaning you don.t have to re-buy regularly, thus saving you an extra cost as well.

There is much more to setting up a tattoo business, then the above, but it gives a satarting point to consider. Now you need to sit down and make a detailed plan and fill in the details of how you will make your tattoo business successful.

Punk body adornment, the most notorious and celebrated of recent styles among youth, emerged in the mid-1970s and has persisted in varying forms to the present day.

tribal tattoo
By: Rene Thompson

Today, Polynesian and tribal tattoos are a popular expression of style and fashion. Known for complex patterns and stark black lines, contemporary tribal tattoos often blend traditional patterns from several cultures to form a distinctive design. This ancient art form has found new life among tattoo enthusiasts in modern times.

Many of the cultures in Polynesia traditionally tattoo the skin. The Maori people in New Zealand, for example, have been tattooing patterns and symbols for over a thousand years. In this Polynesian culture, spiral lines were created on the human body, particularly the face, using a bone chisel. Because the process of tattooing was very painful, Maori tattoos were understood as signs of courage and a right of passage. To the Maori people, tattooing is considered a sacred event. The application of these curving patterns was accompanied by traditional flute music, chanting, and other cultural elements. The tattoos themselves, known as Ta moko, symbolized tribal identity, family ranking, ancestry, and social status. If you are not Maori but want a tribal tattoo, be sure to choose a design that does not signify special attributes to the Maori people.

Hawaiian tribal tattoos are known as Kakau. Traditionally, this body art is used for adornment, a symbol of mourning, or a personal talisman to protect the wearer. Typical Hawaiian designs include tropical flowers, lizards, turtles, and dolphins. Armband designs have long accompanied Hawaiian tattoo art. Both tribal armbands and pictorial tattoos are very popular designs today.

Tattoos from Samoa, known as Tatau, tend to cover a large area of the body with complex abstract patterns and motifs. These tattoos are applied to show cultural pride and identify family lineage and social status.

Rapa nui tattoos (from the culture on Easter Island) take the form of special symbols in vivid designs. In this Polynesian culture, it was believed that bold tattoos make the skin sacred, creating a pathway for communication with the gods. The Easter Island culture is perhaps best known for Moai, monolithic stone heads. These Moai may be considered one part of tiki mythology, and are often represented in modern Polynesian tattoo designs.

Today, Tiki tattoo designs are very popular. Each of the Tiki gods, stylized as a human figure, carries a different symbolism. Although rarely used in traditional Polynesian tattoos, the Tiki god or Tiki statue has evolved into a popular design in the Western world. In fact, it is one of the most common Polynesian inspired tattoos found in the Western world.

Traditional Polynesian tattoo designs are described as either Etua, with a strong religious or spiritual meaning, or Enata, to describe social identity or status. Many symbols are found in Polynesian tattoo designs from the various islands. For example, sharks and shark teeth represent protection, while turtles are a symbol of long life and fertility. Shells are a symbol of prosperity, as they were once used as a traditional form of currency.

Tiki and Polynesian tattoos are very impressive works of art, often carrying great symbolism for the wearer. These beautiful designs, combining abstract lines with beautiful figural themes, have an ageless appeal and striking appearance. When seeking the perfect Polynesian tattoo design, be sure to take into account the special symbolism of each one.
