If you're a new tattoo artist trying to figure out how to build a client base, you've probably heard the advice to "just post on social media" and call it a day. But that's only one piece of the puzzle. I've been tattooi
Last week reminded me why I built systems in the first place – and what happens when you think you're too experienced to follow them. My booking day at Blue Bird Tattoo Studio turned into a complete scramble because I de
Every tattoo artist has worked with someone who left them drained, second-guessing themselves, or flat-out dreading going into the shop. Toxic people are everywhere, and the tattoo industry is no exception. But calling s
Starting out in this industry, it's easy to fall into the trap of thinking you need everything before you can get started. The fancy chair, the iPad, the full ink spectrum, the private studio, the 50k following. I've bee
Social media isn't the whole game, and honestly, a lot of tattoo artists are finding out the hard way that chasing likes and fighting algorithms isn't a sustainable marketing strategy. Missi cuts through the noise in thi

Twenty years into my tattoo career, I can finally say I've built a business doing exactly what I love—and it happened because I stopped trying to please everyone else and started being a "Missi Blue pleaser." This episod
When I was an apprentice flipping through tattoo magazines, Jesse Smith's work stopped me in my tracks. Fast forward to today, and I'm sitting down with the man himself, someone who's spent over 25 years proving that unc
Building resilience isn't something you're born with—it's a skill you develop through experience, self-awareness, and intentional practice. In this episode, I'm breaking down what it really means to be resilient in busin
When I opened Blue Bird Tattoo Studio, I truly believed I'd just show up, tattoo, go home, and do whatever I wanted. I thought I'd work alone because I was tired of dealing with other people's energy. Looking back, that
