Every tattoo business is different. That's why The Black Book comes in three tiers, so you get exactly what you need without paying for what you don't. No long-term contracts. Month-to-month after onboarding.
Every engagement starts with understanding where you are and where you want to go. We will recommend the right level based on your business, your goals, and your numbers. No guessing, no pressure.
Get your numbers right.
Best for solo artists earning $75K+ per year
You make good money but you are not sure where it goes. You need clean books, clear reports, and someone watching your numbers every month so you can stop guessing and start keeping more.
You will know exactly what you made, what you spent, what you owe, and what you kept. Every month.
Run a shop that actually pays you.
Best for shop owners earning $150K+ per year
You are running a shop, managing artists, juggling booth rent and payroll, but you are not sure if the business is actually working for you. You need a financial partner who understands your world.
You will have full visibility into your shop's finances. You will know what is profitable, what is not, and exactly how to pay yourself more while keeping the business healthy.
Build a business that runs without you in the chair.
Best for multi-location or scaling owners
You are growing fast. Maybe opening another location, building a team, or stepping back from the chair. You need high-level financial strategy, not just bookkeeping.
You will have a financial roadmap to scale confidently, with the numbers, strategy, and support to back every big decision.
Pricing is discussed during your discovery call and tailored to your business.
We recommend the right level based on your situation. No pressure, no surprises.
Yes. I work exclusively with tattoo artists and tattoo shop owners. This isn't a side niche. It's the entire focus of the firm. That specialization means I understand your business model, your pain points, and the financial challenges specific to your industry better than a generalist ever could.
Not necessarily. If you're an established artist generating meaningful revenue ($125k+) and you're serious about getting organized, you're likely a good fit for our Financial Clarity tier. I don't work with hobbyists or very early-stage artists, but if you have real revenue and real ambition, let's talk.
Because without accurate books, you're making every business decision in the dark. What to charge, when to hire, whether to expand. All of it depends on numbers you can trust. Clean books aren't just about staying out of trouble. They're the foundation that lets you run a more profitable business and make decisions based on real numbers.
Yes, but it's integrated into the ongoing relationship, not sold as a standalone product. When I do your books monthly and plan your taxes throughout the year, your return is essentially done before tax season even starts. No scrambling, no surprises.
That's common, and it's fixable. We handle cleanup and catch-up bookkeeping as a separate one-time project before transitioning you into the monthly rhythm. The cleanup builds the foundation; the ongoing relationship keeps it clean.
Because this isn't a once-a-year tax filing. You're getting someone in your corner every month, keeping your books clean, working to minimize your tax liability, and helping you make smarter business decisions. Most clients find the monthly fee pays for itself through better financial decisions and fewer costly mistakes.
Absolutely. A lot of tattoo artists are set up in a way that costs them thousands more in taxes than they need to pay. I'll look at your specific situation and tell you if a different structure may reduce your tax burden. If so, I'll handle the whole transition.
Yes. How you pay the people in your shop matters a lot. Getting it wrong can lead to penalties. I'll make sure everyone is classified and paid the right way so you're protected.
It means I'm selective about who I work with. The application is a brief step that helps me understand your business and determine if we're a strong fit. This isn't about being exclusive for the sake of it. It's about making sure I can genuinely help you and that the relationship will be productive for both of us.
Yes. The firm is entirely cloud-based. I work with tattoo artists and shop owners nationwide. Everything from bookkeeping to tax to advisory is handled remotely through secure systems.
A lot more than most artists realize. Supplies, equipment, booth rent, convention travel, education, marketing, insurance, and more. The key is tracking everything consistently throughout the year so nothing gets missed. That's a big part of what we do.
It depends on the size and complexity of your business. We offer three levels of support, and we'll recommend the right one during your discovery call. Every plan includes year-round books, tax planning, and ongoing guidance, not just a once-a-year tax return. Most clients find the value far exceeds the cost through better financial clarity and smarter decisions.
It usually starts making sense when you're consistently earning $60,000 to $80,000+ in profit per year. The right structure can potentially reduce your tax burden by changing how your income is classified. But the right answer depends on your specific numbers, and that's something we figure out together.
If you want to know how much you're actually keeping, what you can afford, and how much to set aside for taxes, then yes. Most artists who come to me are surprised by how much money they were losing simply because nobody was watching their numbers.
