Now Hiring Resident & Guest Artists.
Apply Now!
Important: We are NOT hiring apprentices, front of house, or social media. A mandatory minimum of 1 year in a professional studio - we do not accept self-taught tattooers.
TEMPEST operates as an artist-owned, co-op style studio for our resident artists! Tired of crazy commission rates or sky high chair rentals? We split costs evenly. The more artists we have, tbe lower the cost. For guest artists, we have a $150/day rate which includes PPE. We do not supply ink, needles, machines, etc.
We value collaboration over competition. Tempest is an artist-owned, appointment based studio built for artists who want independence without feeling like they're working alone.
You choose your own schedule and come and go as you please.
As of 2026, we operate as an appointment based studio due to heavy long-term construction closing off a lot of walk-in traffic and parking options, but we are flexible with advertising walk-ins as we hope once construction ends it will pick up drastically! We host flash days and other fun events we’d love to do as a studio, but also at your own will.
We have a cozy studio with couches, comfy chairs, huge drawing table, crafts, etc. There are so many great places to draw, paint, or just relax between clients. Located 2 blocks from downtown core, there’s plenty of options for coffee and food.
Our hope is to work with other artists who are like-minded, kind and genuine people that we can all get along well with as the resident artists are already good friends. We do not discriminate on gender, race, sexuality, size, color or shape and welcome ALL people with open arms. We’d love for you to come see the space and hang with us!
See you soon!
