Recession proof? How about audit proof?

[Gia Dobson]

OK, so the article is about the tattoo biz being recession proof, but as a side note: It REALLY fucking bugs me when tattooers talk about how much money they make to the media. What a douche bag.

Yeah, not douche bag proof.

Let's never speak of this again, no one here wants to discuss their personal finances!

"I began my business because I was watching my older teenage children start to put tattoos on," she says, "and I started to wonder how are they going to get a real job some day, with ink showing from their elbows down."

do people really still believe this??

maybe it's just because i live in a bubble here in California...

Well I think that this goes back to the tattoo placement thread. A nice collared shirt and tie can cover up lots. The bubble you speak of is a darn large one as it can be and is like that here too (with a few exceptions)

Maybe tattooing is a real job? I get by.

Well, even though I belive that what ever your making is between you, your other half and the taxman. Now that tattooing is becoming mainstream you will start to get these guys comming out and opening their mouths, about all fasciits of tattooing. In most perfessions you know roughly how much they make, so it's now time for the tattoo world to be under the spotlight for it's five minutes. Just wait a few years and most of the innerworkings will be common knowlage. But it takes these douche bags to give them this info in the first place.
