Guest Artists
Rotating guest artists from around the country. Limited spots. Get notified first.
What It Is
Tuff Tattoos regularly hosts guest artists from around the country and the world — accomplished tattooers who travel in for limited residencies and take on a small number of clients during their stay. Guest spots are a rare chance to get work from an artist who isn't usually in Tampa, and they fill fast. We announce residencies in advance and give our community first access to booking windows.
Who It's For
Guest artist spots are for clients who want work from a specific visiting artist, or who are open to a unique opportunity when one comes through. If you follow a particular artist who might guest with us, or you just want to know when a sought-after visiting artist is in town, get on the notification list.
Our Approach
We announce guest residencies on Instagram and to our notification list before opening booking. Spots are limited and usually go quickly. To get first access, follow us on Instagram and join the list — we'll email you when a guest artist is coming, with their available styles, dates, and a booking link. If you have a specific artist in mind, let us know and we'll try to connect you when they're in town.
