How do you start your own tattooing business?

Hi everyone. My Husband and I are looking into starting a mobile tattoo shop. We are in the process of business planning, I was just wondering if anyone can give me any more helpful advice or information pertaining to starting your own tattooing business????

You should be able to find a local small business avisory group in your area. They would be able to help you with start up. I would check to see if it is legal in your area to do a moble shop (some places its not) Figure out what you need for start up, come up with a 5 year business plan. (basically how you are going to turn a profit in that time) and secure a business loan. The govt offers low interest loans. Also get the legal issues of becoming a business from your county govt

go to school and get a license 4 it...

Get a mentor that has done it before. SCORE.ORG is a non-profit group of retired business owners. They may be able to match you with someone who has had that type of business.

hmm,,,, a mobile tattoo shop..... how very carnival and greedy that is......

the industry is very saturated with people who have no business even being in it now,,,, and by you even having to ask this question tells me that you are just another one of the percentages that really have no business in it as well.

if you were an artist,,, and you wanted a place to create your art, and do it the RIGHT way,,,, you open a studio....period.

you pay the H/D and the licensing, and you make sure that you are up to code (more than you even realize) on all pathogen/bio-hazard material handling (which will be near impossible in a "mobile" situation) and can tell you that some states will not allow this to even happen.

all this is what a true artist will do,,,, because they want to do it the right way,,,, it IS an art form...... and NOT a side show.

all you will do is give the already hurting industry an even bigger black eye...... with a "mobile shop"

First you'd have to get "ink-korporated" :-)
Seriously find your local SBDC (Small Business Development Center.) They offer free one on one assistance for would-be startups. They might also suggest workshops or classes to take and will have many resources to help you write a business plan which is step #1.
Best of luck!
