most of the biggest lessons I’ve learned have come as a result of “learning the hard way”. I just recently hit my ten year anniversary as a tattooer and it has been a long and complicated journey to get to where I am now. if I start losing motivation then I start losing clients.Īlright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally? I have to stay motivated to do the best I can whether is drawing or doing the actual tattoo for a client, every step of the process is just as important as the others and sometimes it’s easy to forget that so it’s important to remain focused and motivated for the entire process without losing sight of the end goal.
I’m answering calls, texts, emails… every hour of the day. to own your own brand and ensure its success is more than a full-time job, it’s a constant day and night endeavor. I don’t have a boss making my schedule or making sure I get things done, it’s all me, and it’s definitely a lot easier to relax and not do as much as I could than it is to stay motivated. in any art industry self-sufficiency and motivation are definitely important. I’d say the biggest and most important factor behind my success as a tattoo artist is motivation and drive. Hi Travis, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success? If you are late and I feel that I still have time (and still want to) tattoo you, you will be charged for every minute you were late.We had the good fortune of connecting with Travis “Jucebox” Meisenzahl and we’ve shared our conversation below. If you are 15 minutes late you run the risk of cancelling your appointment and forfeiting your deposit. I will rarely run late, and for everyone’s comfort and privacy, I don’t want crowding in the shop. I am very organized and book people in for exactly how long I need them for. Putting on a large pair of boots over an ankle tattoo, also not fun. Putting on a tight pair of jeans after getting your thigh tattoo is not fun. Be cognizant of the fact that when I’m done your tattoo you’ll have to put clothes back on, so this is why it’s beneficial for you to wear loose clothing. Wear pasties if you have them, or we can tape up your nipples. If you are getting your ribs or sternum tattooed, refrain from wearing a bra beforehand so I don’t have to work around bra marks. If I’m tattooing your lower leg and your pants are tight and difficult to roll up, you will have to remove them. Wear clothing that allows me to easily access the area you are getting tattooed.
If your hygiene is unacceptable I will have to turn you away.
Being clean is important to heal your tattoo properly as well as courteous to me as I will be very close to your body. If you only shower once a week, make one of those times right before your tattoo appointment. If you work in a barn, change your clothes before coming in. Do not work out an hour before your tattoo and come in without showering. Get a good night’s sleep!ĭo not apply numbing cream before your tattoo. Do not take blood thinners (If you need to for health reasons, discuss it with me at the time of booking and also discuss getting a tattoo with your doctor). I cannot tattoo over a sunburn, or deep bruises.ĭo not drink alcohol the night before your tattoo. If you are a very hairy person, please shave the spot I’ll be tattooing the morning of.
#Juicebox tattoo skin#
Bring water.Īpply moisturizer to your skin for at least a week before your tattoo. Bring a backup granola bar or juice box with you in case this happens. It’s important to have that blood sugar level up and ready. This adrenaline pump can come as a shock to some people’s systems, and their blood sugar level may drop as a result. Getting a tattoo pumps up your adrenaline and produces a lot of endorphins.
