The CPA Built for Tattoo Artists

CPA for Tattoo Artists & Tattoo Shop Owners

Your Art Builds the Culture.
We Build the Business Behind It.

Taxes, bookkeeping, and cash flow can be hard to sort through. Trinity Tattoo helps you understand your numbers and consider the next step.

For tattoo artists and shop owners who want year-round financial support. There is no income minimum to ask about fit.

The Problem

You mastered the craft.
But is your business
actually making you money?

You're bringing in good money, but if your books are a mess, you have no idea how much you're actually keeping. That means every decision about pricing, hiring, or paying yourself is a guess. And most generic accountants can't help. They show up once a year, file a return, and disappear.

Inconsistent Cash Flow

Money comes in waves, but bills, taxes, payroll, rent, and supplies do not wait. Without clear numbers, every decision feels like a guess.

Messy Books

Personal and business spending mixed together makes it hard to know what the business actually costs, earns, or keeps.

Tax Surprises

Tax season should not be the first time you understand how the year went. Clean books and proactive planning help you know what to expect before April.

Contractor Confusion

Booth renters, employees, guest artists, contractors, tips, deposits, and payouts all need to be tracked correctly. Getting it wrong can create tax, payroll, and compliance problems.

No Real Visibility

Your bank balance is not your profit. You need monthly reporting that shows what came in, what went out, what you owe, and what you can safely keep.

Wrong Business Structure

Your structure should match your income, risk, payroll needs, and goals. A sole prop, LLC, or S-Corp can all make sense, but only if the facts support it.

Is This Right for You?

Client Experiences

What happens when you
finally know your numbers

"Switching to an S-Corp saved me over $15,000 in self-employment taxes the first year. They handled the payroll setup, the filings, all of it. I finally understand the difference between salary and distributions and why it matters."

Marcus R.
Solo artist, 6 years in business. Austin, TX

"I literally doubled and sometimes tripled my fees per session without losing a single client. I thought people would walk, but they were all happy to pay. Once Trinity Tattoo showed me what artists at my level actually charge, it completely changed how I price my work."

Dani L.
Owner-operator, 3 artists + booth renters. Portland, OR

"No one wants to tattoo forever, but I never thought retirement planning or an exit strategy was realistic for someone like me. Before working with Trinity Tattoo, that felt completely out of reach for me and my family. They made the whole thing seamless, and now we are building toward something beyond just the shop."

Chris V.
2 locations, 12 artists. Denver, CO

* Client experiences are individual and not a guarantee of future results. Tax outcomes, savings opportunities, and profitability improvements depend on each client's income, records, entity structure, payroll, state rules, documentation, and business facts.
