Inclusive Studio in Brum, looking for a great artist

We’re looking for an experienced tattoo artist to join our team. We’re an inclusive, laid-back space with a strong client-focused atmosphere, and we’re after someone who brings solid work, good energy, and professionalism to the studio. You should already have an existing client base that you’re ready to keep building with us, while also being confident and comfortable taking walk-in clients. We’re open to either booth rent or percentage split for the right artist. If you’re interested, send over: • Your portfolio (links to socials are fine) • A bit about your background and experience • The styles you specialise in Please note: this isn’t an apprentice or junior artist position. That said, a strong portfolio, professionalism, and a great attitude are more important to us than a specific number of years in the industry.

Please note: There will be a cost involved in the course and training, which will be discussed directly with Dean once your application is considered and an interview is arranged. 📩 How to apply: Message us directly or get in touch with Dean at DKW Tattoos with your name, a short introduction, and a portfolio of your work.
