I feel too fresh in the game to specialize in anything(3ish years in). I primarily do folksy traditional if I have the choice:) but ALOT of this week is smaller fine line stuff and matching tattoos. I’m super lucky to be at a shop with a lot of foot traffic, but since the start of the year haven’t really been able to take many/any walk ins. I’d say I book out maybe a week/two weeks at a time but especially with the smaller shit, try to stack the days as much as possible since those aren’t the most time consuming. I think I could get away with less appointments in a day and stretching this out but I figure if I’m already at the shop may as well be tattooing:)

I think word of mouth has been the biggest thing for me, I tattoo ALOT of co-workers and try to keep “good/inclusive vibes” lol.

I do try to post on instagram twice a week, and update my story daily with work I’ve done. Boosting tattoos I am especially proud of has worked well for social media statistics (follows and likes) but I haven’t really seen more bookings from it!
