| Sorry, I worded my question incorrectly. What I meant was when they had worked their way up to the point where the shop was charging for their tattoo work how do different shops go about working them into a paid tattooist. Example, do they start off with 30% and then work their way up as their experience grows. Just trying to see what the general consencus was. |

Depends if you want an employee, which you have to pay taxes and SS for, or a private contractor. If they are an employee, you supply everything except possibly machines, power supply and tubes, and they make less of a cut.
If they are a private contractor, you CANNOT legally supply ANYTHING other than space, so the studio gets a smaller cut, but has less expenses.
All my people are private contractors, and they are trained. They get a 60% cut. |
