apprentices wanted

We are experiencing incredible growth & are looking for two people to join the Kintsugi team as apprentices and eventually as full-fledged artists!

who you are

The only things that matter to us:

  1. You are an exceptional artist

  2. You show the potential to continue growing as an artist & to learn how to use tattooing as a medium to create your art

  3. You are a kind person

  4. You enjoy spending time with us & we enjoy spending time with you

Experience with tattooing is less important, but doesn’t hurt.

what we can offer you

As part of the apprenticeship:

  1. Direct training from Rami to develop your skills as a tattoo artist

  2. Training from Rami on proper safety and sanitization procedures

  3. A guaranteed artist spot at Kintsugi once you complete your apprenticeship

Once you are a Kintsugi artist:

  1. All supplies (except your machine) will be provided and a station at our studio will be designated for your use

  2. A constant stream of clients from our marketing channels

the details

  1. Unlike many other tattoo studios, Kintsugi apprentices will never be expected to do things that are not directly related to learning how to tattoo (I.e. you will not be expected to clean the studio or answer phones). Once you are an artist, you will be expected to pitch in to keep the studio tidy (we all do it).

  2. The apprenticeship will feature a minimum of two face-to-face training workshops per month (1-3 hours each), scheduled ahead of time based on Rami’s availability

  3. Apprentices will be expected to review training material and practice at-home (~5 hours per week), in addition to the face-to-face workshops

  4. There is a small fee to partially compensate Rami for the face-to-face training sessions: $1000 split into 4 payments over the 1 year apprenticeship

  5. Apprentices are responsible for purchasing their first tattoo kit at the beginning of the apprenticeship (~$400-500)

  6. If more than one training workshop is missed, the apprenticeship will be terminated.
