Before tattooing was mainstream Tattoo Shops were scarce. You couldn't find them on every corner as you can today. "Tattoo Wars" as we old timers use to call it were apart of the business of tattooing. Shops back then would go break windows or go on smear campaigns of one another shops because clients were really limited. Actually back then many tattoo shops were considered to be apart of motorcycle club cultures because of course many tattooist were apart of the club scene.
Slowly over time those who did their apprenticeships with no ties to the biker culture started going out on their own and starting shops. These were those artist that actually started reaching new clients and eventually led to the tattoo culture going mainstream. But the ugly side of owning a shop still goes on. Shops still haven't grown up. Instead of coming together the war of words started ramping up. I see many posts on craigslist about one shop saying this shops works sucks, or one shop going after another. Instead of these morons understanding that their is enough money to go around and its time to come together through our common work, they still go around acting like a bunch of freaking kids.
According to the US Department of Labor tattooing will still become a major force in the labor market. We hold positions that can earn us on average $100 an hour. But with that comes the pain of marketing ones talent. Thus were most of these others morons go out and start bashing you. I'm a huge believer in the push for States to require an extensive education process for tattooist and piercers. By doing this the industry can start training it's people correctly and through the years weed out the idiots as I call them.

Being an aspiring artist who's going through a year long apprentaceship, i agree with this completely. People now are just trying to get out there and tattoo whatever they can. Also, because of people who are childish and moronic, bring a stereo type to all tattoo artists.Starting these stpid "wars" make an artist look tacky. We are not children, thusfor, we ALL need to act like adults and handle the situations maturely.
ReplyDeleteHow would you handle the situation where you have a competitor talking a bunch of smack about your work or employees once you get a shop going?

ReplyDeleteWith the different distinctive hair evacuation frameworks available, not many of them offer a perpetual answer for undesirable hair. A portion of the more sumptuous medicines, for example, laser hair evacuation and electrolysis may comes nearest to a perpetual arrangement, however the medicines are not modest and there is no assurance that a portion of the hair won't develop back.
