Its the dream of every person to become his own boss, as its good to be a boss. Many tattoo artists start their own set up after working for a decent amount of time as a tattoo artist. It is very necessary to work as an artist prior starting your own business as it will give you the exact knowledge of working under pressure, team management and employ satisfaction.
The formal process of setting up any business is to make a precise business plan which include all the lucid details like initial staff, marketing strategy, purchase of tattoo supplies and other necessary equipment, collaboration with other tattoo artists etc. After making a business plan the first step is to acquire a license to run a tattoo studio as most of the states in USA are regulated either by Health Department or by the Department of Cosmetology. If you are not living in a regulated state, you should set your own working standards related to hygiene and working condition in the studio.
When you are done with all other stuff, the foremost task is to select the best location for starting your studio. Location must be easily approachable for your clients as well as for the artists so that you can build a strong client tel and provide best services to your clients with flexible schedules.
I hope these points will help you a lot in setting up a tattoo studio, suggestions are welcomed so that I can add some more points here.
