Tattoo Artist Collaboration
Partnership Conditions with Tattoo Artists
We help talented people to reach their artistic potential
At the Black Hat Tattoo, we help tattoo artists reach their potential with love, discipline, and trust. Our values, people first, excellence, respect, creativity, and team spirit are grounded within the organisation. We are serious about art creation. We are also committed to creating an environment for artistic people where they can flourish. All are respected for their art, and nothing is never done without the artist's explicit consent.
Creativity is achieved when they have the proper equipment, a stable income, and a positive environment. We aim to provide these conditions for our tattoo artists at the Black Hat Tattoo studio.
