the youtube idea is good, thats the best way to get known and next a TV show.

Yeah i thought so aswell. Of course have to have the customers consent, but i think it would be neat. Even have some How-To's etc.

Investing Address ONLY -1TAT2zbKqZze7fdRKGRdbEJogtUx4s3BM
20,000 Shares @ 0.0025BTC


So is 20,000 shares the total number of shares in the company or the amount of 15% proposed on being released?

And if so @0.0025 BTC, 20,000 shares is  50BTC ($22,500), and if the 15% of the company then your evalaution is 333 BTC ($150,000), bit high with no sales don't you think?

Also what is your personal yearly revenue tattooing last year?

Have you decided anything different on sales manager (your base salary) in regards to my suggestions of a min wage employee during non tattoo times and independent contractor while tattooing, if you are only releasing 15% of company?



I believe Addikted2Ink will do incredible with offline tattoo's and store front, as well as online sales of t-shirts,glasses,etc etc. I have the glasses already, well 300 pair, to see how that goes.

Tattooing has been a hobby that i would do at home in my spare time, if i had to put a rough guess on what i  made id say 10,000. Like i said, i wasn't working at an actual store front, and it was here and there when i had time. Sorry i am trying to answer the best that i can.

Since the tattoo studio will be my full time priority, i'll do everything possible to make it as successful as it can be, for myself as well as anyone that invests. I'm trying to talk to a nationally known artist about appearing for grand opening if everything works out.

I am aiming to have to best looking studio and best artists around the area, which i believe will help massively.
Something else i have been thinking about is video. kind of like a tattoo show that will be watchable on youtube. Maybe of artists at work, etc etc

I think once you get the website up and running you'll probably get some investors. I'm sitting on the sidelines for now but if you get the website up and running as well as have a few more people look over your investment plan I'll probably send some BTC your way.

Yeah, it's been a while since i've messed with making websites,lol. I have a tattoo do to tonight and i plan to get as much done on it as possible afterward.

Thank You,
Mike

Thanks again for everyone's questions and concerns, I try to answer everything as quick as I can. So far i've had 2 emails, 0 investments, and 1 troll email. Cheesy


Thanks again,
Mike

       The reason for that is that you don't know what you are asking (18,000$ - 35,000$) and what you offer in return (procentage of the company, profit shares).
Let's say I want to invest 1000$, than I need to know how much % of the company I own, or if I own only profit shares, or...? You really need to make this clear from the start to get some atention.
        Another very important reason is your valuation of the company. As of my understanding you want to raise some money and than you offer for that money 15% (in the company? in the profit?). You say the costs are in between 18,000$ - 35,000$. If you raise 35,000$ (witch is 15%) it means you value the company at 233,333$ so you value your work at finding the rent and set up the place at 198,333$. The same calculation aply for 18,000$ and everything in between. Think this way: If you want to extend and open another saloon would you be willing to put all the startup money (35,000$), hire a manager and pay him 198,000$ for finding the rent and setting up the saloon and after that pay him a salary of 42,000$? I ask you because this is what you ask.
        I think you really need to be more specific and reevaluate the spliting of the shares.

It's Friday night and the main troll that bumped these threads has been banned from the forums. I'm sure someone will come along tomorrow to give it some action.

aha-I made it self-moderated just in case it gets out of hand. If there seems to be 0 interested within a week or 2, ill lock it.

I don't really agree. A tattoo artist can make 40,000 dollars a year. However, a studio owner can make up to 100,000 dollars a year. It all depends on where your tattoo parlor is located and how much business you get. Why would I want to run the studio, etc for less? lol I would tattoo before i done that. But thanks for your input man

And as studio owner with 85% interest you would make $100,000 per year less the 15 (or 25%) reserved for your investors if your studio was at that level.

Or were you suggesting that a studio owner typically gets paid $42,000 per year **and** 100% of profit on all other income?

I was just going by what other studio owners make etc. However- I thought about tattooing in shop aswell and lower the salary i suggested. Also- internet sales, and in store sales of merchandise is a great money maker aswell.

Well, I'm just asking how those other studio owners make that $100,000. I highly doubt it is a salary, they probably make $100,000 from their percentage share of other artists and sales inside the shop. If that is the case then the salary is unnecessary. If they actually get paid a $100,000 salary then they probably are not the studio owner but only a manager? I have no idea how tattoo shops work so I am just curious.

It's not a salary. It's exactly what you posted. I just use the word salary when referring to getting paid for work. But yes, that's 100% correct, inside sales, other artists fees etc etc.

Cool, yeah then the reason some will have issue with a salary is that you would still get all of that money less 15-25% in addition to it. You still own the company, less some percent.
