Welcome to TATT’S BIZ.

This isn’t motivation.
It isn’t hustle culture.
And it sure as hell isn’t tattoo-industry fairy tales.

I built this 'Tattoo Business Training Course' because I spent years doing what most tattooers do — working harder, earning inconsistently, burning out quietly, and being told, that was “just the life.” No roadmap. No systems. No real conversation about money, power, or longevity of a career and trade.

BIZ Beyond the Chair exists to fix that.

This program breaks down what actually keeps a tattoo career alive long-term:

pricing that doesn’t race to the bottom
marketing that brings the right clients
operations that don’t rely on chaos
legal and financial protection most artists never get
and business structures that don’t destroy your body or your head

This isn’t theory.

It’s what I learned the hard way — in the chair, behind the desk, and through mistakes most people never talk about.

If you’re tired of:

trading hours for dollars
hoping next month covers rent
relying on platforms, shops, or trends that don’t care if you last...

Then this is for you! (If you just want validation, fame, or shortcuts — it isn’t).

You’re not buying an over priced course that waffles on.
You’re deciding whether the current system of tattooing controls your future — or you do.

Read carefully.
This is where survival stops and structure starts.

Why This Course Matters Now

The economy has tanked.
Tattooing will not survive on luck, tips, or “busy months” anymore.

Our industry lacks:

formal recognition
consistent competency frameworks
structures that protect artists from volatility

That vacuum leads to:

excessive insurance costs
pointless red tape
exploitation disguised as “the way it’s always been”

Beyond the Chair gives you structure where the industry offers none.

This is grown-up business, for people who plan to still be standing in 10 years.

$48.00 USD Coming Soon 2026

You’re not buying a course.
You’re choosing whether tattooing controls your future — or you do.

Everything is dedicated to less risk, more professionalism, and a cleaner, fairer tattoo future, globally.
