In this episode of The Artful Dollar podcast, Ryan Roi shares a conversation with Rob Smead, owner of Electrum Tattoo Supply and host of The Business of Tattooing podcast.
Rob and Ryan discuss topics affecting the tattoo industry today, including the intersection of art and business, the importance of marketing, and financial coaching tailored specifically for tattoo artists.
Ryan discusses his journey from being a full-time tattoo artist to creating The Artful Dollar, a program dedicated to helping artists manage their finances, market their work, and achieve long-term success.
The episode also highlights the role of the Association of Professional Tattooers (APT) in advocating for the industry, the challenges posed by increasing regulation and automation, and the future of hybrid tattoo artists who combine exceptional artistry with stellar business acumen.
Tune in for insightful discussions, case studies, and a deeper understanding of the interconnected world of tattoo artistry and entrepreneurship.
