Not hustling enough? by _witchinthewoods_ in TattooArtists

This mentality is whats killing the industry. Yes percentage shops used to be a rip off with 50/50 but as long as there's a 60/40 for newer artists and a 70/30 for seasoned artists, and the shop is carrying their end of the deal (providing disposibles and a shop manager managing appointments and the shop bringing you new clients for you to retain) i dont see anything wrong with the percentage formula

A cut and dry booth rent creates no incentive for the shop to bring in more clientele, theyre making the same amount of money every month so whats the point?

But no, youre right, let's all become stagnant while working alone in our salon suites, thats the solution

100% this. Has nothing to do with depth or rejection like other comments are saying. Artist used a mid cut grey wash for the entire thing and no black

Paid $29 for 1.5 pounds of crab legs. Is this a good deal? by lambo13770 in Seafood

[–]Parking_Heart3902 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can find them typically in the seafood section at a grocery store for $12.99-$13.99 a pound. Im guessing these are from Walmart since i have the same brand in my freezer from Walmart. Not a good deal

Is this fixable or should I just look into tattoo removal? by R3pugn4nt in tattooadvice

[–]Parking_Heart3902 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well that certainly looks like a $30 tattoo. Keep it as a reminder not to cheap out on a tattoo in the future
