100+ hours in the chair.
CPA license on the wall.
Not a generalist who "also works with" tattoo artists. A CPA firm built by someone who's been under the needle long enough to understand your world, and qualified enough to protect your money.
The story
Trinity Tattoo was founded by a licensed CPA with well over 100 hours under the needle and not much blank skin left to show for it. But those hours in the chair gave our founder something no accounting textbook ever could: a real understanding of what tattoo artists deal with every day. The physical toll, the creative energy, and the business pressures that don't stop when the machine does.
This isn't just a niche picked from a marketing playbook. Tattooing runs in our founder's family. Close family members and cousins are artists. Some of the closest friends are artists. We grew up around this world. We've heard the conversations during long sessions. About slow months, about clients who ghost on deposits, about whether it's worth opening a second location, about what's actually left over after booth rent, supplies, and taxes. We don't need you to translate your business. We already speak the language.
But relatability without competence is just a good conversation. On the professional side, we hold a CPA license, earned both a B.B.A. and M.A. in Accountancy, and have deep experience helping business owners pay less in taxes, keep clean books, and make smarter financial decisions. We chose to focus this entire firm on one industry, tattoo artists and shop owners, because you deserve a financial partner who's both fully qualified and genuinely embedded in your world.
Most accountants are reactive. They show up at tax time, file a return, and disappear. That's not what we do. We start by getting your books right because we've seen firsthand that every business decision you make, pricing, hiring, expanding, paying yourself, depends on knowing your real numbers.
The tattoo industry has over 23,000 businesses in the U.S., and most of those artists and shop owners are underserved when it comes to real financial guidance. We built this firm to change that. Premium, selective, and deeply useful, for people who are serious about building a business that actually pays them what they're worth.
"We don't just understand the numbers. We understand the life. That's the difference, and it's why this works."
