Careers
at Certified Tattoo Studios
Resident Tattoo Artist
We hire resident tattoo artists at all four studios.
Your job is to tattoo. Ours is everything else.
WHAT WE PROVIDE
Clients and support. A full booking team. Deposits collected and no-shows filtered. A stocked, licensed, inspected room. No shop style.
WHAT WE LOOK AT
Healed work, not just fresh photos. Whether your clients come back. How you leave a room. What you do when a tattoo doesn't come out how you wanted.
WHAT WE DON'T ASK FOR
Years in a shop. A following. An existing book of clients. A style that looks like ours.
THE STANDARD
Clean work and clean character. We'd rather hold a chair open than fill it with someone who doesn't clear the bar.
Anyone with skin is welcome. Not everyone with a machine is.

THE Tattooer/Piercer PERCENTAGE
IS THE MOST MISLEADING NUMBER IN our industry
Every shop recruits on it. It is the easiest number to compare and the worst one to decide on.
70 percent of a chair that sits empty 3 days a week is less money than fifty percent of a chair that stays full.
We have watched tattooers leave here for a bigger percentage and earn less the following year. More than once, over twenty years.
What you take home is your percentage times how many days you actually work times how long that holds up.
We compete on the second and third numbers, because those are the ones we control for you. Walk-ins, paid ads, a full booking team, deposits collected, and two decades of reputation feeding four studios every day.
Bring us a percentage another shop offered you and we will do that math with you honestly, even if the answer is that you should take it.
