I’ve been sitting on this decision for months. Thinking it through carefully and today, I’m making it public. For those who’ve followed my work here or on Facebook, you’ll know I’ve been coaching tattoo studio owners through the Inkonomics 7 Pillars for over two years now. In that time, I’ve worked with a great deal of artists and studio owners. We’ve tested it. Broken it. Refined it. Rebuilt it. What exists now is not theory — it’s a proven operating system for running a stable tattoo business in a chaotic market. But here’s the problem I keep running into 👇Too many good studios. Too many solid artists telling me there's not enough cashflow right now to invest in education — even when they know they need it. Shops are quiet. Costs are up. Stress is high. Frankly, watching talented people burn out or drift away from the industry because they lack structure doesn’t sit right with me anymore. So I’ve made a call. 🔥 Starting January 2026, I’m releasing the entire Inkonomics 7 Pillars course here on Skool — completely FREE. 🔥 No upsell tricks. No fake scarcity, no bait-and-switch. Just: 🎥 Full video training 🎧 Podcast-style lessons 📘 Coaching frameworks 🧠 Business mindset tools ⚙️ Systems you can actually implement Everything you need to start stabilising your studio, rebuilding confidence, and thinking like a business owner again — on me. This isn’t charity, it's a line in the sand. I believe the tattoo industry is heading into a divide: Studios with systems will survive. Studios without them won’t. I’m choosing to make sure access to knowledge isn’t the thing that takes you out. I’m deep into building this out now, so bear with me while it comes together — but this will be a big deal for anyone who feels stuck, burnt out, or quietly worried about where their studio is heading. 👀 Keep your eyes on this space.📣 Updates coming soon.

Most tattoo studios don’t fail because of bad art. They fail because the business underneath has no structure. If any of this feels familiar, read on 👇• Bookings feel random• Income goes up and down• Instagram feels exhausting• You’re busy, but not stable• You know something’s missing — you just can’t name it That “something” is what I call the Growth Engine. 🧠 This post introduces a concept I’ll be using a lot going forward — not as motivation, not as theory, but as a practical way to understand why your studio feels chaotic (and how studios escape that loop). This isn’t a tutorial.It’s not a checklist.It’s not another “post more on Instagram” lecture. It’s a framework that explains:• why hustle stops working• why talent alone isn’t enough• why burnout creeps in• and why some studios become predictable while others stay stuck. ⚠️ Read this slowly.⚠️ Don’t skim it.⚠️ If it makes you uncomfortable — that’s a good sign. 📘 This is a short taster, designed to get you thinking differently before I start releasing videos breaking the Growth Engine down properly. 👉 After reading, ask yourself one question:Which part of my business actually feels out of control right now? Drop that in the comments if you want — it’ll make the next phase of content hit harder.
