This is a Self-Employed position in a brand-new studio space!
Inky and the Mane is seeking Guest Tattoo Artists to join our team of artists in our studio located in the heart of Edinburgh city centre. As a guest artist at Inky and the Mane, you’ll be using our bed rental model during your stay. This allows you to retain 100% of your earnings while only paying for the days or weeks you use. Our bed rental rates are listed on our website here: https://www.inkyandthemane.com/guest-with-us

What’s Included
The rental fee includes a dedicated workspace for the time you’re here, as well as access to the shop’s equipment. Artists will need to provide their own personal supplies, such as needles and inks, as well as their tattoo guns.

Filling Your Guest Spot
We are a commission-only studio, and as such it is the guest artist’s responsibility to fill their own books during their time with us. We will do our part to promote your guest spot through our social media channels by sharing your portfolio, contact information, and any promotional materials you provide. However, it is crucial to actively engage your audience and ensure your calendar is booked during your stay.

Expectations and Studio Environment
At Inky and the Mane, we pride ourselves on being a welcoming and inclusive space. Our studio is known for its queer-friendly atmosphere, its modern and airy design, and its comfortable work environment. As a guest artist, you’ll be integrated into our culture of respect, creativity, and professionalism. We value collaboration and are excited to have you as part of our team, even if only for a short time.

Please note that if you are renting on a daily or weekly basis, you may need to share a station in a “hoteling” fashion with other guest artists or resident artists. Stations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, ensuring that everyone has an opportunity to work comfortably during their stay.

This position is ideal for someone visiting Scotland and looking to join a fun, professional team of artists in a brand-new, airy studio space (check out @inkyandthemane on Instagram or inkyandthemane.com for pics!)
We’re on a mission to build an inclusive, community-focused creative hub where our customers can fully express themselves and our tattoo artists feel empowered to do their very best work. If this sounds like a match, we’d love to hear from you!

Requirements
2+ years of experience as a tattoo artist, with the desire to work in a self-employed capacity.
Excellent customer service skills with a friendly, can-do attitude and ability to connect with people from all walks of life.
A drive for tattooing excellence and a willingness to help us build a new kind of welcoming studio experience.
An embrace of our core values of inclusivity and creating a fun, comfortable environment for all.
