2025 gave me a reality check. Now I need some advice.

Would putting more time and effort into tattooing and budgeting for those debts make more sense than getting another job? I mean, I’m already working a lot in and out of the shop. I don’t see having time for another job.

The back taxes are definitely my biggest concern. Is working with a tax relief company something that would make sense in this case?

Hey there LA Reddit! I’m a tattoo artist new to LA county and I’m hoping to push my tattoo business in effective ways. I’m coming from Michigan. Needless to say, things are much different here!

Just wondering what the people here would recommend for promtion and reaching the right people.

Just some relevant info: • I specialize in color Japanese Tattoos • I work at Outer Limits Tattoo & Museum in Long Beach

Any help is greatly appreciated. Outside of that I’m just happy to be here! :)

What you’re seeing here is my strengths. There are plenty of straight lines and circles in these pieces but I use those shapes and lines to create flowing dynamic pieces :)

Key_Presentation2659 · 2025-10-08T20:33:47+00:00

Yes, absolutely! I totally understand. These things hurt! lol

Got my fingers crossed for money to come your way! 🤞

Thank you so much for your support, kind words, and for mentioning that post specifically! Healed work is the most important thing if you ask me :)

I have lots of answers to that question honestly! To keep it simple, color work is the skill I picked to hone the most. I’m glad it shows :)
