Default promoting? getting your name out there

Hello all first thred. my name is chris higgins i am a eugene oregon tattoo artist just started about a year ago in this shop black magic tattoos our web site is www.blackmagictats.com. or look me up on face book to see my newer tattoos i been doing.

well this post is about promoting my self what would you guys recomend i am a good artist and my work is getting better every tattoo i do alot of cover ups from the tattoo shops around. there is a few shops around doing good work but there is not many most do crapy stuff. my boss does radio starting this week and the web site. i have my facebook with alot of my friends and client that helps alot. we also pass out flyers with 20% off. it works but i want to get my name out there more. the clients going to the other s&!tty shops around i do not think know any better. goal is to be the go to guy around town. i sending off to the magazines soon to get published will be nice but for the general clients i do not think they look at who did the tattoos in the magazines they just think oh pretty tattoo next page lol.

artist look and like oh bad ass who did that one lol. so just trying to get some more ideas of promoting for my self and ways to get my name out there more. thanks for your time guys

Mate your doing as much as possible... Not sure about the 20% off vouchers?... Makes you look desperate, people mst think ur not busy and need customers cos you aint that good. I have seen your work and its fantastic! But this business isnt overnight most people take 10-15 years to get the "celebrity status" keep pumping out good work and it will come in time, i have only been tattooing a year and im finding the same thing!

Do good tattoos, and don't be a s&!thead to clients. Word of mouth does alot for local status, do a good looking tattoo, and they'll tell all their friends to go to you, and anyone else that asks "who did that sweet-ass tattoo ?".

ya thats what i been trying to do even if its some thing small i try do make it look the best i can and even throw some extra in there to make it look good. i usually been cutting deals for them so it gets around that i am doing good work at a good price. and ya word of mouth is how i get most my clients. i tell them also that every ten people they send in i will give them $100 off there next tattoo

You realize that I did a 3 dvd set of Vol 1 and Vol 2 of the whole enchilada tattoo seminar series that is about 1 third entirely about how to promote yourself and your studio as a tattoo artist right ? hahahaha

http://strangleholdmerch.com/seminar-dvd-c-19.html there you go - everything you need to do in three quick discs.

the hard part is actually doing it all hahaha

which do you have?

Vol 1 is one disc

and

Vol 2 Is 2 discs

Vol 3 has been locked down... like a chastitybelt on a safe.

However we do have some suprises already being edited.

Something amazing - something with Paul Booth, and something without him hahahhaa.

I thought The Whole Enchilada came with a list of magazines and their numbers for artists to use to really put their names out there.
