If you dream of traveling and working abroad, conventions and studio guest spots are excellent options, but it is essential to be aware of visa requirements and local regulations.
Conventions and Temporary Labor
Tattoo conventions are held all over the world. In Europe, a visa is not always required, but in the USA a temporary work visa is mandatory.
Guest Work in Studios
Guest spots help promote your work as a tattoo artist and attract new clients. Before traveling, check what visa you need to avoid legal problems.

Licenses and Local Laws
Each country has different regulations. A license is not always required, but it is key to contact the local authority or host studio. The legal age for tattooing also varies, so research before traveling.
Rates and Living Costs
Tattoo prices vary from country to country. Adjust your rates according to the local cost of living and find out if the host studio sets the prices or you can set your own.
Promotion and Professional Growth
To attract clients abroad, promote your visit in advance. Coordinate with the host tattoo studio and use social media to publicize your work.
Planning and Equipment
Organize everything before you travel. Confirm what equipment you will need and what the studio will provide. Make a checklist to avoid forgetting essential tools.
Obtaining a visa to tattoo in the U.S. knowing the local regulations and planning accordingly will maximize your international opportunities.
