“Sometimes I need to have my ass kicked a little bit.” 😂🖤🔥

Liz Cook keeping it 100 on Tattoo Shop Tango, and honestly, every shop owner needs to hear this. 🙌

When you’re always the one giving, supporting, nurturing... it’s SO easy to get jaded. And if you don’t have someone outside of your own head to talk to, those thoughts just spiral. 👀

Liz wishes she’d worked with a coach sooner, not because she couldn’t figure things out on her own, but because having someone who can look you in the eyes and say “hey, you’re being a little bit of a du***ss right now” is genuinely priceless. 😂💯

You don’t have to pay for every coach out there. But you DO need people in your corner who will be real with you. 🙌✨

This is the real talk that Tattoo Shop Tango was built for, created BY tattoo shop owners FOR tattoo shop owners. Go watch the full episode on our YouTube channel!

Europe vs. Asia, and honestly? Asia won. 🌏🔥

Gabriella Nova didn’t hesitate on Convention Connection, Asia is where she leveled up. Full body suits, incredible conventions, and an energy that pushed her to want to create bigger and better work than she ever had before. 🖤✨

That’s the kind of inspiration that changes an artist forever. 🙌💯

If you’ve ever wondered what traveling the world as a tattoo artist actually does for your craft, this is your answer. 👀🎧

Be honest, do you actually know how many hours your Tattoo Artists are really tattooing? 👀🔥

On Tattoo Shop Tango, Jesse Smith breaks down something most shop owners never stop to track: billable hours. Not setup. Not breakdown. Not needle in, needle out prep. Actual tattooing-for-money hours. 💯

And when he started paying attention? A fresh artist coming in might only be at 25 hours of actual tattooing. Most shop owners would be surprised at the real number if they broke it down. 👀

This is the kind of data-driven, real talk that changes how you run your business. And it’s exactly why this segment exists. 🖤🙌

The walls don’t go away. They just get bigger when you ignore them. 👀🖤

Liz Cook dropped something so real on Tattoo Shop Tango, a lot of artists think that opening a studio or going private is going to be the solution to everything. And sometimes it helps! But if you haven’t done the inner work, those same walls follow you right through the door. 💯

Some people will keep waiting until the wall gets so big it makes the decision for them. And honestly? That’s just how some people are wired. No judgment. 🙌

But Liz’s whole approach to coaching is built around keeping those walls manageable, because they’re never going away completely. The goal is to stay ahead of them, reflect before you have to, and not wait for a crisis to start growing. ✨🔥

Montreal born. Dual citizen. 7 years tattooing across Europe and Asia as a full-time nomad. 🌍🖤✈️

Gabriella Nova has lived a tattooing life that most of us only dream about, and she’s joining us on Convention Connection to talk all about it! 🔥🙌

After COVID brought her back to Canada for a couple of years, she made the move to the States and is now based in Pittsburgh, working with an amazing team. 🎨💯

This is the kind of journey that reminds you just how big this industry really is, and how far it can take you if you let it. 👀✨

Running a tattoo convention is like playing Mouse Trap. 🪤😂🔥

Jesse Smith said it best on Tattoo Shop Tangol you spend an entire year building it, setting every piece in place, and then in October you drop the marble and just hope it all works out. 😅🙏

And that’s the thing about this industry: whether it’s a shop, a convention, or a business, so much of it is building in the dark and trusting the process. 🖤💯

This is exactly the kind of real, behind-the-scenes talk that Tattoo Shop Tango was built for. Created BY tattoo shop owners FOR tattoo shop owners, and it’s LIVE now! 🎉🎧

Just because something works for you now doesn’t mean it’ll be the right fit forever and that’s okay. 🙌🖤

Liz Cook gets honest in this clip from Tattoo Shop Tango about how much things can shift over time. Studio owner. Private artist. Working for someone else. Life evolves, and so do we. 💯✨

The real question isn’t where you are right now; it’s how prepared are you for change? Do you know when to sprint, when to jog, and when to just rest? 👀🔥

That kind of self-awareness is everything in this industry. And it’s exactly the kind of conversation this segment was made for. 🎧 Watch the interview on our YouTube channel!

“I can teach you how to tattoo. I can’t teach you how to be a good person.” 🖤🔥

Tattoo Shop Tango is LIVE and Jesse Smith is already dropping gems in the very first episode. 🙌✨

Running a tattoo shop is a never-ending teeter totter, keeping the art great, the artists happy, the bills paid, AND turning a profit. But the part nobody talks about enough? The people. 👀

Jesse breaks it down: he’ll take a hardworking artist with a great attitude over raw talent and a bad one every single time. Show up on time, be clean, be coachable, be a good human, that matters more than anything you can do with a needle. 💯

This brand new segment is created BY tattoo shop owners FOR tattoo shop owners. If you own a shop or ever want to, this one’s for you. Go watch it now on our YouTube channel!

“I’m not the best. But I’m the best with people.” 🖤🔥

Matt Hodel has been tattooing for 30 years and stays busy, and he’ll be the first to tell you it’s not because of his skill level. It’s because of his approach. 🙌✨

On this clip from Convention Connection, Matt breaks down the difference between chasing fast dollars and building something sustainable. You can do a ton of cheap transactions and make money in a weekend, but those clients don’t come back. 💯

The long game? It’s psychology. It’s relationships. It’s being the artist who actually knows their clients, shows up for them, and makes them feel like they matter. Like the difference between a regular hotel and a luxury one: the connoisseur knows your name, your preferences, and makes the whole experience feel special. 👀✨

That’s the energy that keeps you booked for 30 years. 🙌

Sometimes you just have to step forward and do it. 🙌🔥

Liz Cook gets real in the newest episode of Tattoo Shop Tango, and her journey into shop ownership is one of those stories that just hits different. 🖤✨

What started as “let’s just have a place to work for ourselves” turned into a full-on entrepreneurial calling she never even saw coming. Artists started asking to join, the shop kept growing, and suddenly Liz wanted to do everything — be involved in everything, have eggs in every basket. 🥚🧺

That shift? That’s where the real magic happens. 👀
