Self employment in the service industry trains us to believe we must respond when clients text or messages. It creates a level of of urgency. Good for you!!! I’m proud of you!

Do you know the name of these glasses? Tried looking on the site but didn’t see them. Thank you!

I turned tattooing into a 9 to 6 with holidays and most weekends off. 😂 Honestly I take a fair amount of time off, at least 6 weeks a year all together. I just set financial goals so I hold myself accountable to work the amount I need to and have permission to take time off as well.

It tooks me 13 years to know in the worst possible way that this amount of effort doesn't make sense anymore. I don't wanna fit, I just wanna stay calm and happy with nice clients🥹❤️‍🩹

I relate to this 1000%. I started out similar to you. And I was burning out so fast. Sticking to boundaries is helping but still makes me anxious 😅

I really needed this 🥹 I am so burnt out I have been working 7 days a week and 8 am till the last person wants a tattoo! I’m so thankful for the business and the opportunity of tattoo but like you said we have lives outside of tattooing thank you thank you for this

I feel like I’m watching a video of myself talk! Haha I am a baby tattoo artist, 2 years in and learning these things the hard way. I am self taught as well and also feel unwelcome in the tattoo industry. Still growing as an artist, and feeling like if I don’t say yes to everything I’ll lose out somehow…thanks for this reminder! 🫶🏻

The Cincy tattoo scene is so pretentious for the most part, specifically the fine line genre. I’ve seen it develop over the last 15 years. Don’t try to fit in. Make your own niche and stay focused on work and yourself.

I just recently posted in my page the hours that I respond to messages disguised as like these are my hours before and after work so I don't feel bad for only answering messages at a certain time and so people know when they will hear back from me
