Tattoo Artist

Tattoo Artist — Hourly Pay + Commission + Benefits

Stability. Structure. Security.

BodyMods is hiring experienced Tattoo Artists who want more than just a chair to rent.

In an industry where many artists are left to operate entirely on their own as subcontractors, BodyMods offers something different — a professional studio environment built around consistent income, operational support, long-term opportunity, and real career stability.

Our artists receive the security of employee pay with the earning potential and creative freedom experienced artists expect.

With hourly pay, commission opportunities, benefits, front-end support staff, consistent marketing, and structured studio operations, our artists are able to focus more on creating exceptional work and less on administrative stress, inconsistent bookings, and managing every aspect of the business alone.

What We Offer:

• $20–$25/hour based on experience
• Commission on tattoo services performed
• Additional commission opportunities on select products
• Front-end Crew support with bookings, customer service, setup assistance, and studio flow
• Consistent marketing and client traffic
• Structured leadership and operational support
• Flexible scheduling with long-term growth opportunities
• Dental, extended health, vision, and life insurance benefits

We are looking for artists who are passionate about their craft, care deeply about client experience, and want to grow within a professional, supportive, and inclusive environment.

At BodyMods, our mission is to elevate the industry through acceptance, education, and exceptional quality. We are committed to creating an environment where both clients and Crew can express themselves authentically without judgment.

What You’ll Do:

• Deliver high-quality tattoos with creativity, precision, and professionalism
• Build strong client relationships through consultations and aftercare education
• Maintain a strong portfolio and active social media presence
• Follow strict sterilization, hygiene, and PPE protocols
• Collaborate with leadership and Crew to maintain a positive studio culture
• Participate in studio events, promotions, and marketing initiatives
• Help contribute to overall studio success and customer satisfaction

What We’re Looking For:

• Minimum 2 years professional tattooing experience
• Strong portfolio showcasing technical ability and artistic range
• Excellent communication and customer service skills
• Bloodborne Pathogens certification
• Professionalism, reliability, and strong work ethic
• Passion for the industry and continued growth
