Tattoo Artist

We are looking for a resident artist for our shop in Hoogvliet-Rotterdam. We work on a 50/50 commission basis. We provide a clean, professional workspace and actively promote the studio through social media and advertising. We also receive tattoo inquiries through the studio, but we do prefer an artist with an existing client base, so you're not completely dependent on studio bookings while we continue to grow. We're looking for someone who wants to become part of the team and work on a regular basis. Professionalism, hygiene and good communication with clients are very important to us. To work with us, you must be self-employed with a valid business registration. If you're from outside the Netherlands, you'll need the appropriate documents that legally allow you to work as a self-employed tattoo artist in the Netherlands.

Looking for 2 resident tattooers to join my blossoming shop

We have space for 2x resident artists (Full-Time / Part-Time) to build a family/team environment. I'm not interested in bleeding people's money. Help pay the bills, show up to the best job going and know your craft. I have 15 years behind me working in some of the best studios of the last 20 years. I'm also an experienced body piercer. *You must have some form of existing clientele, no matter how small. We get regular walk ins but this is not a reliable way for somebody to contribute, especially if you're applying from outside of the UK. ​**Lucky Streak Tattoo is looking for 2 new resident artists to join our studio on Smithdown Road. We're a clean, highly experienced contemporary space focused on technical craft and clean efficient work. ​Full time preferred, but we're open to the right part time artist. ​Fully equipped studio with a vacuum autoclave and a high standard of clinical hygiene. ​Prime L15 spot with great footfall and a growing client base. Close enough to the city centre without being in the mix. ​Competitive fixed or flexible rates for the right person. ​What we’re looking for: Ideally 2+ years of studio experience if you're flying but ideally 6+ years so that you know how your work actually heals. Somebody who can demonstrate mastery over varying line weights - from delicate fineline to solid, clean, and bold execution. Style is less of a requirement than versatility, unless you are keeping your books solid doing what you do best. ​Reliability and a technical mindset are non-negotiable. ​If you're interested in having a chat, please send a brief intro and a link to your portfolio to [email protected] or DM us directly. ​Let’s build something clean together 🖤
