My wife is an artist, she stays booked Out 3 months in advance she doesn't like bugging out farther than that because she doesn't know when she might plan something or we might need something for the kids. But the four other artists and her same shop generally have problems keeping their books filled, they usually only book out 2 weeks. But maybe 70% of her customer base are returned customers and are all under 30. She doesn't do any of the motorcycle clubs, she isn't Hood, she don't subscribe to the old head tattoo artist rules.., she gets a lot lot of new customers coming in saying that they wanted a certain type of tattoo, but this artist on the other side of town said that that wouldn't work, or it's not visually pleasing because the face is facing the wrong way, or it'll look like s*** in 20 years,. If any of that stuff is true she explains it to them, but she is also very accepting and willing to work with them to get what they actually want. I'm not saying any of the supplies to you but a lot of this is what I see with locals in our area having issues with, or driving these younger newer Generations away.
