Starting a Tattoo Business - By: John Elder

When starting a tattoo business you may not need to rent a shop if you can use a spare room in your house, but you do need to have all the necessary equipment such as body paint and airbrush kits.

There are many places where you can purchase your airbrush stencils and other things. Researching online will bring up many stores, but be sure to deal with a reputable one for good service and quality goods. You should be able to buy a temporary tattoo kit and airbrush tattoo stencils with no problems.

The most important thing when tattooing is hygiene and cleanliness, so you will need a sterilising unit to sterilise your needles. These are not cheap, but they are necessary so be sure you get one that will give many years of service. It may even be possible to start off with second hand one.

It is also wise to get the best quality airbrush guns and needles that you can afford. Having good quality tools will ensure that you are able to do a good job on those tattoos. Likewise good quality body paint will ensure that your tattoo turns out the right colour and your customers will go away satisfied with their tattoo.

Before you start you will need to find out what licenses are required and what training you need to undergo to become a good tattooist. It would be a wise decision to get work at a tattoo parlour before starting up your own business. This will give you an idea of what is needed and how to run your own business.

Other things you will need for your tattoo business are furniture, a cash register and the ability to accept credit card payments. You will also need some form of advertising to ensure that you have plenty of customers.

There are many rules and regulations about opening a tattoo shop and you will need to comply with them if you are not to get shut down. The rules may vary with each state, so if you have recently moved states, don’t assume you know it all.
