Why be an ink artist
Becoming a tattoo artist can be a satisfying, lucrative and energizing career path especially if you are not keen on the daily grind of a 9-5 job. The demand for good tattoo artists is higher than ever.
Tattoo Artists generally love their jobs for the Work life balance and ability to work at your own pace
Overview
Creativity, Art & International Experience We understand that a tattoo is a permanent and personal piece of artwork that you wear on your body. It is a creative form of expression.
We select and nurture our Artists for their artistic flair and creativity.
In addition, we bring our top artists to international conventions. Our Artists have created customised art tattoos in multiple countries adhering to and obtaining relevant qualifications in London, Australia, Amsterdam, Frankfurt. We believe that their international experience and exposure to various art forms and trends will help them suggest and tailor creative pieces for you.
Strict Hygiene Standards
Your safety and health are our key priorities. We are well aware that skin penetration carries risks of disease as micro organisms can enter the body when the skin barrier is broken. We believe that any procedure that involves skin penetration must adhere to strict infection prevention controls and measures. Although not a requirement in this country, our Principal has been certified by the International Board of Medicine and Surgery and has passed courses on Blood Borne Pathogens and Communicable Diseases.
We pride ourselves on our internal strict hygiene standards. We guarantee that our needles are disposed and never re-used thus reducing risk of contamination. At Dragonfly, our Artists are always gloved and must follow hygiene standard operating procedures. Our ink clinics are regularly disinfected and all artists have separate work stations with their own equipment.
