Mobile Tattoo Artist, Would yah? Options

[Havok1997GT]

If you saw an add for a Mobile Tattoo Artist would you have them come to your house to tattoo you. Now this artist would be licensed by the state, as well as have heath certification for the equipment they own. Every single piece of equipment that would be used would be purchased from the same vendor that an one working for a tattoo shop would purchase their supplies. Pictures of work would be brought to show talent and skill, as well as the license and health certifications to show proof of professionalism and safety. You would also be able to visit a website to see work and certificates before making a appointment. On top of being able to have the convenience of being in your own home, because the artist is not having to pay for renting the space at a tattoo shop or charge shop prices, the artist would be able to charge 3/4 if not half the price it would cost to have a tattoo done at a shop, while delivering the same quality and safety of a tattoo shop. A good way to visualize this is to think of House Cleaning services or a on call Masseuse, same idea.

This idea was created by me and my wife who is a tattoo artist. She does not want to work at shops because the work is random, uncreative, expensive, and long hours of sitting around hoping for a customer. So we came up with the idea of Mobile Tattoo Artist. So based on the information above please add your name to the poll and if you want please comment on why or why you wouldn't call the Mobile Tattoo Artist.

how would you claim warranty?

? huh? No tattoo Shop has warrenty on their work, thats really half the problem with a lot of shops is that you run the risk of the artist sucking and messing you up, then you have to pay again to either have it touched up, redone, or whatever and normally its about as expensive as the tattoo was.

the Health code Certification shows that the equipment she uses is safe, and actually she has been thinking of having a kinda warrenty since no shops do that on the work she does, but the thing with that is that allows people to be stupid and like no clean it, swin while its still healing, things like that, and then you have poeple calling back saying that you screwed up when they are the ones that did, now you have to honor a warrenty that you shouldnt have to be. its tricky. so if she was to do that she would need to word it right and make sure it was explained correctly so avoid any bull sh!t.

hit em with the paperwork like the insurance company. Have so many pre-check processes that it's damn near unfeasible to get

Aaron will know if she's done a bad job on someone, and she'd know to expect a call from them. and that would be the one you'd wanna honer, (then get a testimony )

I dont think she'd fcuk it up in the first place, but "hypotheticaly" she did, you'd have to have a paper or something the coustomer has signed constituting what is applicable for a "redo" or "touch-up" otherwise, offer free Cutting torches to the tat for removal.

Make em sign a waiver to not bitch later when the work is finished and satisfactory on the spot
