Black Pines Gallery
Texarkana, TX
We’re growing! We are welcoming local artists and out of town artists to fill out our application to join our team and studio in Texarkana, TX. Texarkana is a growing small city on the Texas/Arkansas border. We are 2.5 hours away from the DFW metroplex. We are open to both established artists, and also artists who have the skills and the time necessary to service the growing requests of walk-in tattoos and requests we receive through social media.
We guarantee the clientele and we are sure you will be occupying your time very efficiently here, so being local isn’t a must. If you reside out of town and are interested in relocating to Texarkana we will offer as much help as we can to make your move possible, and give you any info and insight into living and working here. Please take the time to answer each question in this form. Be open and honest with your answers, there is no right or wrong, it’s simply a way for us to get to know YOU.
This is for a full time position as an artist, having a client base isn’t necessary as there will be plenty of work and you will have all the tools and environment to succeed. You must be ready to work a full time schedule, unfortunately we won’t be able to consider part time positions or artists with other jobs and responsibilities that may impede you from tattooing full time.
We are not looking for apprentices at this time.
Must have a good means of transportation.
The position is open to artists who are currently successful at taking care of walk-in style tattoos or smaller projects. But we also receive plenty of requests in medium/large black and grey and color work. Our requests through social media platforms is high and the work will be there if you want it. The studio environment is set to allow you to guide clients to listen to your professional opinion no matter how small or big their request is and to give them a great experience.
Social and customer service skills are very important. Not only to the growth of our studio, but also a key factor in your own career growth. We understand each person has their own unique personality, but being personable and welcoming will be something we will greatly value.
Good hygiene, both personal and professional is a must.
We will be relocating to a new studio soon. You will have access to a photography room, stretch/meditation room, full time shop manager in charge of booking and scheduling, provided disposables in large supply room, your own station, your own page in our website, your own booking form, plus much more.
We are more than confident that the studio and your colleagues will be a positive part of your journey. All details encompassing the position will be fully reviewed with you in person or in a video meeting if we contact you to consider your position here at Black Pines. We thank you all and are so excited to hear from you!
