Work at Birdhouse as a resident artist
Birdhouse is looking for a few kindred spirits to join our flock and share stations with our current artists!
Here are a few things we're looking for in a potential resident artist:
Tattooers with at least 3 years of tattooing experience and a willingness to grow and develop their skills as an artist as well.
A deep understanding and respect for a consent-based tattooing process.
Excellent communication skills on the tattoo process and after-care instructions, and a friendly, approachable demeanour to our clients.
A commitment to providing a clean and calming environment for our clients and fellow tattooers to enjoy.
At Birdhouse we provide:
A supportive and inclusive work environment.
Competitive shop rates: 75% to artists and 25% to Birdhouse, with 100% of tips going to artists. We also do not take a percentage on any artwork/merch that artists make and sell at Birdhouse.
Most station and shop supplies are covered by Birdhouse, with the exception of needles/cartridges, inks, and machines. This also includes snacks and beverages for your clients.
Promoting artists through ad spending on both Google and Instagram, and monthly newsletters highlighting artists’ flash and updates.
Optional, but always offered: booking/admin assistance for your appointments.
