Ep. 50: How I Adapt in The Ever Shifting Tides of The Tattoo Industry, Social Media, and the Economy

Ink Medicine

From early shop flash days to custom work only and currently back to flash, I am staying with my own stuff. I love to do pieces that span the body, take time, and make you love yourself more.
As tattoo artists, and just humans, as everything shifts around us, we have to figure out how to stay afloat. The tattoo industry, social media and economy are all changing and I am here to chat with you about how I am navigating it all.
Choosing to see the challenges as opportunities, I keep on posting on socials, tackling SEO, creating merchandise for craft fairs, and mentoring my apprentice.
We'll discuss the impact of the ever-changing social media landscape on small businesses like mine. Join me as we delve into the art of adaptation, the strategies I've implemented to keep up with these changes, and the importance of maintaining a meaningful connection with you - my wonderfully supportive audience.
And... the podcast is almost one year old! I will have fifty something episodes out by its' birthday. Yay, Ink Medicine!
