Some people complain about the shop minimum being $40-$60 (depending on the location of the tattoo shop).

Does everyone understand that besides paying the artist's commission, we have bills to pay like:

rent
electricity
Internet
heat
liability insurance
renters insurance
supplies (gloves, disposable needles, needle bags, tube bags, ink caps, lap clothes, stretcher sheets, pillow cases, meat pads, tape, paper towels, etc.)
copier lease
autoclaves ($7,000 each)
ATS (contract and tests for autoclave)
Office help (who does payroll, payables, inventory, ordering, etc.)
Art supplies
Purchasing new flash
Marketing/Advertising
Computer upgrades
Office supplies

And a million other things?

We have overhead. There is a minimum set to justify our overhead.
The point was to ask a question. Does everyone understand that a tattoo shop is a business? The minimum is set to cover overhead.

Seeming as its more expensive I was wonedering cause im a wizard.I have both.
