An inclusive studio that puts tattoo artists first
Full-time benefits, 4 days a week
We built Ephemeral with artists in mind. That’s why we offer guaranteed pay and full benefits at 4 days a week, and the flexibility to work at other studios. Plus every studio provides a dedicated admin team and access to equipment and materials at no cost to you. Join us 4 days a week or part-time and experience it for yourself.
Join a New Type of Studio
We created the world’s first made-to-fade tattoo ink because we believe that everyone should be free to be who they are—and that’s how we feel about our artists too. Our inclusive and fun studios celebrate self-expression and provide real support, so you can thrive in an environment that puts you and your career first.
Simply better studios.
All our studios are designed with our artists in mind. In addition to a calm and innovative space, artists will be provided with…
* Best-in-class tattoo supplies, including tattoo machines, iPads, and cartridges.
* Private stations and uncluttered drawing areas to work.
* A customer experience team who will manage booking and breakdown stations.
* Private outdoor backyard and hangout areas.

"The pandemic was difficult for artists and Ephemeral provided financial stability in a time, and industry, where that was not available."

“Getting a tattoo is not just about the artwork, it's about the experience. Ephemeral makes a point to give you the best experience from the second you walk in the door until you leave, and after - and for the artists as well. In the tattoo industry we don't see that. I knew it would be a game changer.”

"Ephemeral is a great environment with great people. Being here is very encouraging and inspiring. Working with selectively chosen artists makes it a very calm and safe space for everyone involved."
