The Head Makeup Artist oversees makeup teams and manages large projects, requiring extensive experience and leadership skills. In contrast, a Makeup Artist typically focuses on applying makeup for individual clients or small groups. The roles differ mainly in scope, responsibility, and experience level, but both require similar foundational credentials and work within the beauty and entertainment industries.

How does the head makeup artist typically collaborate with other departments during a production?

As the Head Makeup Artist, you will work closely with directors, costume designers, and hair stylists to ensure a unified visual look for each character. Regular coordination with lighting and camera crews is also important, as makeup must be adapted for different lighting conditions and camera types. Effective communication and flexibility are key, as you'll often need to adjust makeup designs based on script changes, actor needs, or production feedback. This collaborative environment fosters creativity and ensures the final result aligns with the overall vision of the project.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a head makeup artist, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Head Makeup Artist, you need advanced makeup artistry skills, a deep understanding of skin types, color theory, and typically a cosmetology license or relevant certification. Familiarity with professional makeup brands, sanitation protocols, and industry-standard tools is a must. Strong leadership, creativity, and excellent communication help you manage teams and interpret client or production needs. These skills ensure high-quality, safe, and visionary results that meet client expectations and support team performance in demanding environments.

Job description

Mobile Tattoo Supply Rep, Route Sales XACTbodyart

Location: Palm Beach County, FL Home Base: Riviera Beach, FL Job Type: Full-Time or Part-Time, W-2 Employee Pay: $20.00/hour base plus uncapped commission and performance bonuses

About the Job

First things first: we want someone who genuinely loves tattoo culture.

Not someone who tolerates it. Someone who lights up walking into a shop. Someone who enjoys talking to artists, piercers, PMU professionals, and shop owners. If shop talk is your favorite kind of talk, keep reading. This job may be built for you.

Here is the gig. You drive a fully stocked mobile tattoo supply van to tattoo, piercing, and permanent makeup studios throughout Palm Beach County. You are the supplier they actually look forward to seeing. You show up consistently, know people by name, show them what is new, get them what they need, ring up sales on the spot, and head to the next shop.

Think of the van as a professional tattoo supply shop on wheels, and you are the person running it.

This is not a basic delivery driver job. You are the face of XACTbodyart in the field. The relationships you build are the reason the route works.

About XACTbodyart

XACTbodyart is part of Medical Technology Products, Inc., a solid family business based in Riviera Beach with more than 25 years of experience in precision sharps and medical-device distribution.

We have built a dominant needle business in the acupuncture market, and we are now bringing that same focus on quality, consistency, and reliability into the tattoo, piercing, and PMU industries.

Our proprietary XACT line includes tattoo cartridges, tattoo needles, piercing needles, and related professional products. We are also building the van around the products working shops need every day, including tattoo supplies, piercing supplies, PMU products, gloves, disposables, aftercare, and other shop essentials.

This route is new, which means the right person gets the chance to help build it from the ground up.

What Is on the Van

  • Tattoo cartridges and needles, including our proprietary XACT line
  • Tattoo machines, equipment, and accessories
  • Body jewelry, piercing tools, and piercing supplies
  • PMU pigments, microblading tools, and consumables
  • Sterilization supplies, practice skin, aftercare, gloves, and disposables
  • Other professional shop essentials that tattoo, piercing, and PMU studios use every day

What Your Week Looks Like

  • Drive your Palm Beach County route, visiting studios throughout the day
  • Load and organize the van so it is ready for each route
  • Walk into shops, greet artists and owners, talk through products, take orders, and ring up sales on the spot
  • Introduce customers to new products, provide samples where appropriate, and help shops find the products that fit how they work
  • Keep notes on customers, buying habits, follow-ups, requests, and opportunities
  • Help find new shops and turn them into regular customers
  • Wrap up each route day by reconciling sales, inventory, follow-ups, and any customer issues
  • Check in regularly with management about what is working, what customers are asking for, and how the route is growing

How the Pay Works

Your base is guaranteed and does not depend on sales.

Commission and performance bonuses are the upside. They are uncapped, and they are tied to how well you build and grow the route.

Final compensation will depend on schedule, performance, and whether the role is structured as full-time or part-time.

Schedule

This role can be full-time or part-time for the right person.

Tuesday through Saturday availability is preferred because those are the strongest shop-visit days. Routes are generally scheduled during shop-heavy hours, usually late morning through early evening.

Part-time is expected to average roughly 24 to 32 hours per week.

Full-time may be available for a candidate who can help build the route, open accounts, manage customer follow-up, and take on more responsibility as the territory grows.

Occasional convention, event, or weekend coverage may come up with advance notice.

You Will Love This Job If

  • You are genuinely into the tattoo, piercing, and PMU world
  • You like people and you are good with them
  • You would rather be out on the road than stuck behind a desk
  • You are comfortable walking into a shop and starting a real conversation
  • You can sell without sounding fake or pushy
  • You are reliable, organized, and do what you say you will do
  • You like the idea of helping build something new

What You Need

  • A clean Florida driver's license and clean driving record
  • The ability to lift up to 50 pounds throughout the day
  • Comfort using simple tech, including a tablet POS system, route app, phone, and basic reporting
  • Sales or customer-facing experience is strongly preferred
  • Tattoo, piercing, PMU, route sales, wholesale, delivery, or outside sales experience is a plus
  • Industry knowledge helps, but we will train the right person
  • You must be dependable, professional, and trustworthy
  • A passed pre-employment background check

What We Provide

  • W-2 employment with workers' compensation coverage
  • Paid time off, starting after your first 90 days
  • Company van, fuel, and equipment provided
  • Mobile POS tablet
  • Work phone or phone stipend
  • Branded gear
  • Product training
  • A new route with real room to grow
  • The chance to build relationships in the professional tattoo, piercing, and PMU industries every week

How to Apply

Apply through ZipRecruiter with your resume or a quick rundown of your work history.

Please include any experience you have in sales, customer service, tattooing, piercing, PMU, route sales, wholesale distribution, delivery, warehouse operations, or retail.

If you have been looking for a job that connects to something you actually care about, this is it.
