The busy and quiet times of a tattoo studio's year
- Busiest: spring, before summer skin comes out, and Friday the 13th in August 2027.
- Quieter: midsummer and December. Post flash and gift cards.
- Every week: post healed work, which builds more trust than fresh.

- Monday: Fresh piece
- Tuesday: Healed work
- Wednesday: Process clip
- Thursday: Flash available
- Friday: Book openings
- Saturday: Studio life
- Sunday: Aftercare tip
