The first tattoo parlor opened in America in the middle of the 19th century. In Russia, tattoo studios are gaining popularity every year. Opening such a salon is a rather laborious, but still quite feasible process. If you decide to engage in this type of activity, carefully study the intricacies of starting and running a business.

Step 1
Due to the fact that at the moment there is no definition of a tattoo parlor in Russian legislation, it is rather difficult to obtain registration. Therefore, it is better to entrust this process to companies that provide company registration services. This will help you avoid mistakes and significantly reduce your time.
Step 2
Selection of premises The tattoo parlor does not take up a lot of space - 15-30 sq.m. Therefore, you can rent a room in a hairdresser, fitness or business center. When choosing a room, it is also necessary to take into account the place for auxiliary materials (linen, clean napkins, etc.), and a showcase with samples of piers, paints, tattoo machines and other necessary equipment should also fit.
Step 3
Purchase of equipment and furniture Purchase furniture necessary for the comfort of visitors and ensuring the work of staff. Of the equipment, it is necessary to purchase, of course, a tattoo machine and a laser for tattoo removal. If, in addition to tattooing, you want to do piercings, body art, permanent makeup, dreadlocks, braids, afro hairstyles or intimate haircuts, then you also need to purchase additional equipment.
Step 4
Search for masters Unfortunately, there are few good tattoo artists in our country. He must have a medical education or a certificate of completion of medical courses. Since he must have an idea of the structure of the human body, understand asepsis and antiseptics, be able to do anesthesia, etc. It is obligatory to have a medical record with all required vaccinations. You should choose a master according to his portfolio, therefore, to make sure if this candidate is right for you, be sure to look at the photos of previously completed work. The salary is usually piecework for tattoo artists and is defined as a percentage of the cost of the work performed. On average, the salon is 50-70% of the cost of a tattoo.
Step 5
Marketing The last thing to think about before opening a tattoo parlor is advertising. Although the competition in this area is small, it still exists. Therefore, do not refuse an advertising campaign. As a means of attracting a client, you can use billboards, posting information about your salon in various catalogs, participating in specialized exhibitions, etc. With the effective promotion of the salon and retaining regular customers, all funds invested in your tattoo parlor will pay off very quickly.
