Tattooing is more than an art—it’s a physically demanding profession that requires precision, focus, and hours of repetitive motion. Over time, these demands can take a toll on your body, mind, and creativity.

The Ripple Affect is a community committed to mentorship, education, and systemic change in the tattoo industry. This project is one of the first steps in identifying what’s missing from client education and what tattooers need to thrive in a more equitable work environment.
