Tattoo Jobs: Artist Chairs, Apprenticeships & Studio Roles

A jobs board for the tattoo industry — chairs, apprenticeships, guest spots, piercer roles, and front-of-house positions. Studios post for free and every listing is reviewed by a person before it appears, so nothing here is scraped or auto-generated.

New to tattooing?

Start with the career guides — apprenticeships, portfolios, licensing and what a chair should actually pay.

Current listings

Every listing here is a real opening submitted by the studio and checked by a person before publication. We don’t list placeholder or invented vacancies — if a role type below has no live posting, none has been verified for it yet. Open a role type to see what the job involves, what it should pay, and how to be alerted when one is posted.

Browse by role

Filter by contract, pay structure and where the work happens. Every role type has its own page with pay ranges, requirements and what to ask before you accept.

Search tattoo jobs by location

Type a city or state to see the local scene and set an alert. We’ll email you when a verified role is posted in that area — no fake or scraped listings.

Say what the seat actually costs

Commission split or booth rent, stated up front, gets you far better applicants than "competitive rates".

Show the calendar

Artists want to know whether they'll be busy. Say how the shop books — walk-ins, waitlist, or online booking with deposits.

Be clear about admin

Who takes deposits, who chases consent forms, who answers DMs. This is the number one thing artists ask about after money.

Name the licensing you need

Bloodborne pathogen certification, local health registration, portfolio requirements — list them so the wrong applications never arrive.

Run your studio, not your DMs

Hiring is easier when the calendar runs itself

Adding an artist shouldn’t add a bill. Tattoo Booking gives every artist their own calendar, deposit rules, and client records on one flat $29.99/month studio plan — unlimited artists included.

No. Posting is free for tattoo studios, and there is no requirement to be a Tattoo Booking customer.
What should a tattoo artist job listing include?

Do I need a licence to work as a tattoo artist?
In most places, yes — requirements vary by state, province, or country and usually include bloodborne pathogen training and registration with a local health authority. Check with your local health department before applying.
