Hey guys-
Doing some research into the tattoo industry and one topic which is quite hard to find information on is how artists are generally reimbursed. So I have a few questions; any information you can provide will be very useful :).
- Do you know any situations where tattoo artists are employed by the studio, rather than being contractors?
- If they are employed, do they have a minimum wage + commision on top? Like a salon.
- If renting a chair, do artists also give a percentage of their income?
- Do different artists in the same studio have different deals?
- What kind of contract do artists normally sign? If at all?
Thanks a lot in advance for any answers you can provide.
