  • You choose what you do! As a guest artist at The Silver Key, you’ll only take on the tattoos that interest you and align with your style. While things are a little slower than usual right now, we’re still committed to helping you make the most of your time here.

     

    You’ll get an appointment request form with every inquiry, including the client’s name, contact info, placement, style preferences, color or B&G, a tattoo description, and reference images—so you can easily decide if it’s a project you’d like to take on.

     

    If you ever want us to boost your reach or highlight specific types of work you’re looking for, just let us know. We’re here to support you however we can.

  • You contact and schedule the clients how you would like. We only ask that clients get contacted within 2 weeks of us advetising you. Whether their design was chosen or not. We have a mock-up to send clients that get rejected by you to make your life easier. Or if you prefer to send us the clients rejected, we are happy to do that for you as well. 

  • We supply you with the same thing we supply our artists. Things included at station: lighting, medical tray, paper towels, cavicide, caviwipes, green soap, medical tape, tongue depressors, barrier film, alcohol, distilled water, bottle bags, photo printer, copier, Eikon A4 thermofax machine. Basically just bring your machine, inks, clipcord covers, and if you forget something our artists are happy to help! 

  • Guest artist rate: you get 80%, we get 20%. We believe this is an industry standard for guest artists. We take an account for the cost of traveling and boarding. 

  • We can take deposits for you or you can take them directly. Whatever is easier for you. If you want us to, we will check almost daily and provide you with updates and which clients have provided you with deposits. You choose the deposit amount. 

  • Not licensed in Iowa? We will help you with that. Main requirements is you must be first aid certified, blood borne pathogen certified (first aid and blood borne test online for small fee), high school diploma or GED, an ID or drivers license, and $75 for application.
