Hi 🙋🏾‍♀️ glad you’re back

I had no idea there was a busy season. I got my torso tattoos in the late fall/winter since I could more easily go braless with a baggy sweater at that time of the year, and let my tattoos heal without clothes tight around them.

My very first tattoo was on a whim. I was a walk-in that didn't know any tattoo specific customer etiquette yet. It taking place during November explains why the guy was so nice with my naive ass lol

We back

Missed you man

Man, it never would have crossed my mind that tattooing has seasons but this totally makes sense!

Oh snap, welcome back! This is a really interesting topic. Funny enough, I like getting my tats done in the fall/winter usually because I don't have to worry about wanting to go to the pool/beach/sit in the sun right after lol

In Romania the busy season is around aroung July - August, when lots of people that work abroad come for their holiday

Your videos are great. The more I watch them the more comfortable I feel about entry into the industry. Thank you for taking out the time to help people like me in all 3 positions of being a client, wanting an apprenticeship and to be a tattoo artist 🤝🏾

Glad to see a new upload from you!

so glad you’re back 🥰

Yay! Happy to see some newer vids! Thank you!!

Great video glad you're back doing KZfaq

This was a super informative video (as usual!), now I feel like I should make the effort to book for the slow season as I didn't even realize it was a thing!

So glad to see u back after a long hiatus!

Love the content!!

Love your vids man. Always informative with the occasional sarcasm!

I like the slow season + the morning the artist is on his/ her game. busy season I feel like tattoos are rushed cuz the artist is so heavily booked

Missed your vids bro good to see you back✌🏿

there you are, thought we lost you for a quick min...😂

You're back! I'm in Europe so we don't really do the tax returns thing, it was really interesting to hear. I usually schedule my tattoos during the cooler months of the year either way because I know I would be absolutely miserable healing one during the sweaty summer months haha. Not sure if the artists over here have busy seasons or not, they probably do, it's just that my guy is always booked months ahead so it all depends on when he's available.

Yesss more tattoo videos 🔥

Thank you for making another great video, James! I personally never thought of tattooing even having seasons. My "main" artist is the type who is always booked up. Basically, like you he's busy year round. There is no slow season lol.//// I'm SUPER excited for my appointment with you next month!!! SEE YOU SOON!!!! 😚❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 (ps. Thanks for the info about when you're booked far out. Of course, I'm willing to wait, whether its you or my artists back home.)

Thanks for the knowledge

I am glad you are back with more videos, they are super informative. My favorite style is Japanese, and actually I am getting a full body suit. It would be awesome if you could make a video about Japanese style. Cheers!

Welcome back

FINALLLYYYYY IVE BEEN WAITTTTINGGGGG DAMN YO WTF IM PISSED AT U JAMES BUT SO HAPPY AT THE SAME TIME WTF

Missed your videos!

Your video uploading speed is at SLOW season all time... lol just messin, love yo shit as always

Would have thought it would slow through the summer more so than the holidays. At least here in the Mesa/Gilbert area of Arizona, it's not only hot as hell its also pool, lake and BBQ season. Good to know though as I would prefer to schedule with an artist between Oct and March and if that is when it's starting to slow down and it gives them more work I'm even more for that now.

Like your vids alot always informative. Thinking about starting too look for an apprenticeship this up coming January but a little worried 28 is a little too late to start

Iv learn a lot here

Has anyone ever told you that you look dead on like this other KZfaqr named Yulay? Great video bro .

Didn't think about tax season affecting tattoo shops! So interesting

It's been awhile dude! What's up 🤙

Do tattoo artist lower prices in the slow season to kinda balance it out and keep income flowing in? *Nevermind you answered it later

Hilariously funny how hard you hit this on the head lol

Is it different from Reagan to Reagan where it might get hotter or colder in the midwest and northeast or northwest versus the west and south west worm and cold weather climate

Come do a guest spot at our shop in north east Alabama Scottsboro Ink Therapy Tattoo Studio!

Im with you man, Im from Argentina and my buisiest season are from july through december. December I have to make those kind of sacrifices and sometimes don't even see m partner until late afternoon, I grab something to eat at the studio, clean everthing and wait for the next client. December 2020 I had a bad situation with my mother because she wanted me to help with my sister's birthday and I told her I couldn't, so she got pissed and she doesn't understand this buisness. January 2021 I only tattooed once, once!! I was aboout to die from boredom but as you said, I spend my time painting a lot, drawing, changing some stuff from the studio and enhancing my banner from diferent social medias. I also agree that we spend money into unnecesary stuff haha I know it, but what can you do inf you see something that will look cool hanging at the studio walls, or an 11th cup of coffe hahah

I'm exactly the opposite. As a collector, I'll book heavy through the fall and winter. My artist usually cuts me off in the spring and summer because he gets tired of seeing me, I guess.

So if u want the best bang for your buck (price and quality), whens the best time to get tattooed or schedule a tattoo session

👍

2 months of tightening the belt..not bad at all.

Hey James! Love the content. Hope you can talk about this new trend of rectangular tattoos from Korea? What do you think and do they last long? Especially the colored/watercolor ones (it's "rectangle tattoo" on Google)

Wish u would post more
