MEET THE FOUNDER & CEO
Hello, I'm Derek!
I have a few questions for you:
Are you a studio owner?
Did you go to business school?
Did they speak tattoo?
If you said yes to the first, & no to either of the others, we may be a great fit, read on.
Here to help you
With decades of tattoo experience (including tattooing, studio owning, & supply company founding) as well as invested tens of thousands of $s in coaching & business mentorship for himself, Derek is now accepting applicants for the Tattoo Career Builders 12 Month Mentorship Program.
Tattoo Career Builders is not simply a course, but a full transformation that evolves with the seasons:
Customized planning tailored to your individual needs
Achieving your highest potential
Significant business and financial education
Personal and team coaching
Advising goal setting, strategy, tactics, and habits
Think of this as a 12 month tattoo studio business apprenticeship. Best if taken at the start, but never too late!
We are here to help you gain the proper management tools to run your business smoothly, regardless of the hard things it throws your way and keep you in your chair, calm, creative, making money, and saving more money to weather financial storms ahead and building an investment (passive) income that will eventually give you back your time to do what you want, when you want, and whoever you want to do it with. This is the reason why we got into careers and business for ourselves why not make the most of it rather than repeating the same struggles year after year.
We envision a world where tattooers LOVE the business side of their tattoo career.
Get started with Automated banking, and a profit first mentality:

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.
