  Experience, Documentation, & Software for Tattooers 

with Gabe Ripley
 

Join industry veteran Gabe Ripley for a no-fluff, all-value session that digs into the hard lessons learned from the school of tattoo business hard knocks—like losing a studio because the advice was heard but not truly listened to. Gabe gets real about what could’ve saved his shop and how that same knowledge can protect and grow yours.


This webinar will cover the documentation practices that drive multimillion-dollar studios—and how solo artists can use the same tools to run smarter and safer. We’ll also touch on simple, vital ways technology can make your tattoo life easier (yes, even if you're "not a computer person"). This session is software agnostic, but if you're curious about solutions after the fact, Gabe’s got options.


Whether you’re a seasoned shop owner or just getting started, this is a must-attend for anyone who wants to stop winging it and start building with intention.
