About the Tattoo Studio Simulator
Model artists and sessions against the shop’s commission split to see monthly profit.

The Operator's Read
Most studios keep a commission split (often 30-50%) of each artist's take — the shop provides the space, brand, and front desk. Filling the artist roster with booked talent is the lever; supplies and reception are the main fixed cost. Some shops switch to booth rent for steadier income. Educational only.
Assumptions & Limitations
- •The model is deterministic: it projects your inputs forward with clear arithmetic, not a Monte-Carlo or probabilistic forecast. It shows one scenario at a time — run several to bracket a range.
- •Defaults are illustrative benchmarks, not your business. Replace every field with your real numbers before drawing conclusions.
- •It abstracts away taxes, financing, seasonality, and one-off events unless a field explicitly captures them. Treat the output as a directional estimate.
- •This is an educational tool, not financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Validate real decisions with a qualified professional.
