– Tattoo Career Builders
“Your gateway drug to success”
We value artists living up to fullest potential in their careers without the confusion and unnecessary stress of the business side of tattooing.
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 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.
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.
TCB is hosting multiple full-ride scholarships at two events in 2024, for those newer tattooers seeking more education and networking opportunities and are in financial need.
Prioritizing your time on the right skills will eventually land you with all the right clients. It will not happen overnight, it requires work, a lot of consistent work.
