Posting a job offer
How a studio or convention posts a job offer — the requirements (a venue address and the Events & Job Board subscription), the short form, the difference between a salary and an artist compensation arrangement, and how to edit or take an offer down.
This guide is for studios and conventions posting a job offer. Two things have to be in place first: your profile needs a venue address, and the Events & Job Board subscription has to be active. With those sorted, posting is a short form. For the subscription, see Premium.
Step by step
- 1
Start a new job offer
Open the News tab, go to the Job Offers section, and tap the add button. If the Events & Job Board subscription isn't active, this opens the upgrade screen instead of the form. If your profile has no venue address yet, you'll be told to set that up first.

Describe the role
Pick the job type — tattoo artist, piercer, apprentice, and a long list of others, with an Other option if none fit. Write a description of the position, and optionally set who you're looking for. The job type is what people filter on when they browse, so pick the closest match.
- 3
Set the start date
Add the date you'd like the person to start, if you have one. You can leave it open.
- 4
Set the pay
How this step looks depends on the role:
- For most positions, enter a salary and the period it covers (per month, and so on).
- For artist positions, set an artist compensation arrangement instead — a revenue split (the percentage the artist keeps), and/or chair rental by day, week, or month. You can offer more than one; the applicant picks their preferred one when they apply.
You don't have to fill in pay at all — leave it blank and the listing says compensation will be discussed.
- 5
Post it
Submit the offer. It goes live straight away in the Job Offers section of the News tab for everyone to find, and on your own profile's News tab. The location is filled in from your venue address — it's what shows on the listing and where it pins on the Map.
- 6
Edit or take down an offer later
You can change or remove an offer you posted at any time. Open it from the Job Offers section or your own profile and use the edit and delete buttons at the top. Editing reopens the form with everything filled in. Deleting takes the offer down for good — see the FAQ for what happens to the people who'd applied.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I save a draft and finish later?
No. A job offer goes live as soon as you post it. You can always edit it or take it down afterwards.
- What happens to applications when I delete an offer?
They're removed with the offer, including any interview that was set up. The applicants aren't sent a separate "withdrawn" message — their application simply leaves their list. If you want them to hear it from you, message them before you delete.
- Why can't I post a job offer?
Posting is for studios and conventions, and it needs both a venue address on your profile and an active Events & Job Board subscription. Individual practitioners can browse and apply, but can't post.
