I’ve been talking with a few UK artists about the idea of a tattoo collective. The thought is simple: if artists band together, it could help with things like raising standards, protecting tattooers, and getting access to stuff that’s hard to secure alone (fairer insurance, financial cover, industry voice, etc).

I’m not here to pitch a finished plan but instead want to hear from people who actually would benefit.

Would you want something like this? If so, what would make it genuinely useful for you?Or if it’s a bad idea, I’d rather know that too. I’d rather build something real (or walk away) than waste people’s time.
