Posted 6 days ago

Job description

The Tattoo Factory is a professional, licensed tattoo and piercing shop with three established North Carolina locations and a new Charlotte shop opening October 1, 2026. We’re known for a clean, sterile environment, straightforward pricing, walk-in friendly service, and a welcoming vibe for first-timers and experienced clients.


Position Summary:


We’re hiring Tattoo Artists for our new Charlotte, NC location (late-night/afterhours focused). You’ll deliver high-quality custom and flash tattoos, communicate clearly with clients, and maintain top-tier safety and sanitation standards.


What You’ll Do:


Create clean, consistent tattoo work across a range of styles (custom, flash, cover-ups)

Consult with clients to confirm placement, sizing, pricing expectations, and aftercare

Work efficiently with walk-ins while keeping quality high

Keep your station set up, organized, and compliant with all health and safety requirements

Follow strict sterilization and single-use needle procedures

Photograph finished work (with client permission) for portfolio and shop marketing

Support a positive shop culture: professional, non-intimidating, and team-oriented


Walk-Ins & Clientele (Important):


No existing clientele required. You do not need to bring clients with you to be successful here.

Artists are placed in equal rotation for walk-in clients, so everyone gets a fair shot at daily traffic while still being able to book their own appointments if they want.


What We’re Looking For:


Proven tattooing experience with a strong portfolio (IG/website links accepted)

Current knowledge of sanitation, cross-contamination prevention, and best practices

Professional communication and a calm, respectful client approach

Reliability and strong time management (late-night schedule readiness is a must)

Ability to work in a fast-paced, walk-in heavy environment

Comfortable tattooing a variety of designs, including flash and small/tiny tattoos


Requirements:


• Must have a valid ID/soc sec card

• Must follow shop policies in artist agreement

• Must sign non-compete agreement


Schedule & Location:


Location: The Tattoo Factory — Charlotte, NC (Albemarle Rd area)

Hours: Late-night/afterhours focused; shop hours planned 12PM–4AM daily

Walk-ins accepted up to 30 minutes before close.


3 shift options are available:


1st Shift: Wed-Sun 12PM-8PM

2nd Shift: Wed-Sun 8PM-4AM

3rd Shift: Mon & Tue 12PM-4AM (2 doubles/32 hr week)


Compensation:


Commission-based split (percentage) with tattoo artists. Details are discussed during the interview based on experience and fit.

High walk-in volume + strong shop marketing support
