Who We Are

We are a team of professionals who have worked in nearly every role in the industry for decades. We educate, mentor, and coach career professionals to become great at the business side of tattooing.

We Partner For Results

We aim to deliver clear, concise goals and direction (confusion kills, but clarity converts.) and wish for artists to narrow the gap between where they are currently and what they want to be in their business. We respect that no fix or learning style is the same for every artist and studio, so we help support and empower the individual through collaborative goal planning and constructive action.

Artist business focused

We value the client as the "hero" of the partnership and ourselves as the supporting role. We also value self-awareness and work as the keys to career success.
