Preparing To Open A Tattoo Studio

If you�re getting ready to start a tattoo business having the right tattoo equipment is one of the most important step you will ever take in the history of your business.

If you�re getting ready to start a tattoo business having the right tattoo equipment is one of the most important steps you will ever take in the history of your business. Buying the best supplies tattoo artists can afford is absolutely vital to your company and the reputation it will have, which will obviously determine how successful your tattoo shop is.

If you�re starting out literally from scratch, then the first thing you will need to do is some research and determine exactly everything you need for the business. Make a list of what supplies tattoo businesses purchase at start-up and then plan out how much you�ll need of each of the supplies. You can do a slight estimation of how much you�re going to need over the first few months, but remember, this is just an estimation, as numbers could greatly fluctuate depending on where you live. Next, do as much research as you can on what the prices of those products are, and figure up an average. For instance, find the ten best priced tattoo inks and then draw an average dollar amount from those ten prices, and then figure out how much it will cost you to have a month�s supply of tattoos ink on hand in your shop. For instance, if you�ve determined that you need to have 300 bottles of black tattoos ink for a month�s supply, and the average dollar amount of each bottle is $10.00, you�ll need to budget for $3,000 for that. Do this for any and every supply you�ll need, and don�t forget that some of the supplies tattoo businesses need are same products that almost any business has on hand. You�ll then want to compare the prices of what supplies you need to the money that you have prepared to start the business.

You�ll absolutely want to have the needed tattoo supplies on hand: you can�t have a customer come in and want an all-black tattoo right there on the spot and then tell them that you�ll have to order black tattoo ink and that you can schedule them in a week after you�ve ordered more tattoos inks. What does this say to the customer? It says that you must not have enough business to need to keep supplies in stock, which must mean that you aren�t very good. Even first time tattoo receivers wouldn�t come back for that.
