Hi, I'm fairly new. I have been an airbrush tan tech for about 6 months and watching this forum for about 5 months.
Does anyone do airbrush tattoos in addition to the airbrush tanning?
I am in the Huntsville, AL and my clients have shown alot of interest in airbrush tattoos. We already have the compressor and airbrush pen (for filling in tan lines etc.....). So, the only cost would be ink and stencils. I am located in a nail salon that also offers theraputic massage.
Right now we are really slow and I know the tanning will pick up again late February.
Just wondering if any one has tried tattoos or is doing it. Here are my main questions:
1. When you airbrush tan and tattoo, which do you do first, or do you do them on seperate days to allow for a shower. Then would you do the tattoo first?
2. What do you charge for a tattoo? Do you charge more according to size, black ink or color, or number or colors used.
3. Currently, we charge $25 per tan with the salon getting $15 and I get $10 plus tips. If I purchase the ink and stencils, what would be a fair cut for the salon? Or should the salon buy the supplies? In that case, what would be a fair split?
Thank you so much for any help you can provide.
Sharon.
