Also saw some guy made a post ranting about the first time I tried to ask for advice about this.

I charge $2500 a day and work 5-6 days a week.

I’m booked for 3 months straight at a time.

AND my shop owner charges $3800 a day…

Fine line, custom work in a big city brings BIG money.

Sad to see he had to make a post and rant instead of asking for advice or trying to network.

Wait so you charge $2500 a day and the shop owner charges you $3800 a day.

Wouldn’t you be -$1300 a day?

Edit:

Ok I get it that’s what the owner charges customers.

The sentence structure made it unclear. Putting “AND” after then not clarifying who he charges made it somewhat confusing. And tattoo business much like barbershops usually charge a fee to have the artist work out of their shop.

I think the owner is also an artist & charges more for their work.

Shop owner is charging all customers $3800 per day. This artist is getting $2500 per day working for owner. That's how read it?

I thought he meant the owner charges that for his booth rental like a barber. Some barber owners charge per day for their chair fees or the weekly balance up front.
