Navigating the Business of Areola Tattooing: Finding Your Pricing Strategy
Congratulations on completing your Areola Tattoo training! Now comes the question: how do you price your services? It can be a complex topic, filled with ethical considerations and practicalities. Here at Areola Academy, we're here to guide you through the process.
Understanding Your Position
There's no one-size-fits-all answer to pricing. It depends on several factors, including your experience level, current workload, and the options you're able to offer. Many artists, especially those starting out, choose to offer one free treatment a month. This is a fantastic way to give back to the community and build experience.
Finding Sustainability
However, it's important to consider the realities of running a business. For some, like myself, Areola Tattooing is a full-time profession. While offering free services is a noble gesture, it isn't always sustainable in the long run.
Offering a Range of Options
To ensure the long-term viability of your practice, consider offering a range of options. This might include:
Private Consultations: Clients who value your expertise and are willing to pay your established rate.
Charity-Funded Treatments: Partner with organizations like The Nipple Innovation Project to offer subsidized treatments.
Insurance Coverage: Look into partnering with private health insurance companies like Bupa or AXA (registration requires recommendations and enhanced DBS checks).
NHS-Funded Clinics: In some cases, the NHS may cover the cost of Areola Tattoos for patients.
Investing in Yourself
Remember, when you invest in your skills, training, practice, and equipment, you're providing a valuable service. It's fair to charge a rate that reflects your expertise and the life-changing impact your work can have. Don't be afraid to value your time and talent!
Building Trust and Reputation
Surgeons often refer patients to artists with a proven track record of high-quality work. Focus on building your portfolio, honing your skills, and growing your confidence. With dedication and commitment, you'll attract clients and referrals organically.
