The challenges tattoo artists face when migrating and how to overcome them.

Listen to this podcast on:

Immigrating to another country is a great challenge. It’s not just about establishing yourself and starting over in a different country than the one you were born in, but about building an artistic reputation that allows you to get new clients and more job opportunities within the tattoo industry.

Even as apprentices and in their struggle to be great professional tattoo artists, Darwin Enríquez, Camilo Tuero and Armando Muñoz had to face various obstacles that paid off thanks to their artistic effort and work.

What were those adversities that these three great tattoo artists had to overcome when starting over in another country?

 

Undoubtedly, language was the main obstacle. Immigrating to a country where the official language is different from the one you speak was the most difficult thing these artists faced.

Nevertheless, one of the tips that they recommended and implemented at that time was to analyze the people who spoke to them in order to understand through their expressions what they were communicating. This is a great help when you’re still in the process of learning the language.

On the other hand, customer acceptance of the tattoo style performed by each artist was initially a drawback. 

Arriving in a country where its people are used to other styles of tattoos can be intimidating. However, analyzing the market and showing what you’re capable of mixing new styles with your personal stamp were the masterful techniques that helped Darwin Enríquez, Camilo Tuero and Armando Muñoz to establish their style within a new market.

Although these were the biggest challenges, these three tattoo artists also had to put a lot of effort into promoting their tattoo style in order to be recognized. 

Strategies such as participating in conventions, publishing content on social networks, and collaborations with other artists were what undoubtedly helped them in their beginnings. 

Immigrating can be a difficult challenge, but it will depend on your attitude to accept your new environment and build the reputation you want to achieve in your new home.
