A LITTLE RANT FROM BROWNS TATTOO STUDIO 👊
Right, people, let’s have a little chat.
The next four months can be some of the hardest of the year for tattoo studios. We’ve got the build-up to Christmas, followed by January and February, when money is often tight after all the Christmas spending.
So, if you’re thinking about booking a tattoo with myself or any other tattoo artist, please have a think about your finances and make sure it’s something you can comfortably afford.
I completely understand that life happens. Things crop up, circumstances change, and sometimes money gets tight. Having a tattoo is a luxury, and it’s never more important than keeping a roof over your head and paying your household bills.
But here’s something I don’t think everyone realises.
When you’re self-employed, your bookings are how you plan to pay your own bills. We don’t get paid holidays, sick pay or a guaranteed wage at the end of the month.
When someone cancels at the last minute or simply doesn’t turn up, that isn’t just an empty appointment. It’s money we’ve lost that we may have been relying on to cover our own bills.
And when you’re a one-person business, that really can make a difference.
I’m not saying any of this to make people feel guilty. I’m just asking you to understand that behind every tattoo studio is a real person trying to make a living, pay their bills and keep doing the job they love.
To everyone who has booked in with me and supported Browns Tattoo Studio this year, I honestly can’t thank you enough. ❤️
This has been the hardest year I’ve experienced in business, and I appreciate every single one of you who has trusted me with your tattoo ideas, supported my work and helped keep the studio going.
Whether you’ve had a small piece or a full-blown project, your support genuinely means more than you know.
So, thank you for sticking with me. It really does mean a lot.
Now, let’s get some more awesome projects booked in! 🤘
Keep an eye out for availability over the next couple of months. If you see a date and time that works for you, drop me a message, and let’s get some work done!
Thanks for taking the time to read my little rant.
