Only 5 spots · Applications closing soon
The Story
For over a decade, I've been at the forefront of the tattoo industry, building the UK's largest Tattoo chain from a single location with 2 artists into 13 thriving Shops with 120+ fully booked artists. Not a franchise but a privately owned collection of Full shops. Whilst doing this I've also spearheaded the nation's biggest tattoo conventions UKTTA. My name is Andy, and I've navigated every challenge you're facing, and I'm here to be the ace up your sleeve.
Limited Availability
I'm not building a course empire and I'm not building my own competition in the UK. I only want to work with owners I see myself in — the version of me from ten years ago, building something real. I want to be embedded directly into your business to fix it, grow it, and scale it fast. That depth of involvement means maximum five owners at a time. Want to grow your studio? Let me show you how.
The Journey
It started with two artists, one rented unit, and a stubborn belief that tattoo shops didn't have to be like they were. I was the receptionist, the cleaner, the marketer. Everything. Sixteen-hour days, learning the hard way.
By year five, I'd grown to five shops. I had to learn how to build systems, bring in the right people, and create a culture that didn't collapse when I wasn't in the room. Mistakes were made but the lessons were priceless.
Today, Vivid Ink is the UK's largest tattoo shop chain. Fully maxed studios, artists booked months/years in advance. Plus I've spearheaded the country's biggest conventions UKTTA. I've survived every crisis the industry has thrown at me and continued to grow. Now I'm pulling five US shop owners up the same ladder I climbed — without the years of wasted mistakes.

Sound Familiar?
The constant battle to attract and retain exceptional artists. Losing your best talent to competing or private shops.
The pressure to fill every appointment, often months in advance. Empty chairs are costing money every single day.
The delicate art of managing creative egos, building culture, and keeping your team cohesive and motivated.
You're the bottleneck. Every decision, every problem — it all flows through you. The shop can't grow past what you can personally handle.
Throwing content at Instagram and praying. No real strategy, no consistent leads. Hoping for the best isn't a strategy that works.
Undercharging for the work, dealing with the cost of no-shows, watching daily earnings shrink. You know you need to earn, but you're leaving money on the table.
Sound like your shop? You don't have to keep grinding alone.
