As a writer, I’ve written about a lot of subjects I don’t know or care about – that’s part of the job, and how I’ve managed to write for so many different industries. But sometimes you get paid to write about something you actually love: enter the tattoo supply company.
I’ve learned so much about the equipment and tools used in tattooing, the rules and regulations, as well as the culture of the industry. For someone who has long gone to comic conventions, my first tattoo convention felt like home.
In my job at Killer Ink I write everything from highly technical product descriptions to pun-filled microcopy. I get to inject a bit of badass energy into newsletters and blogs, and I also write video scripts – which is super technical, but a whole different kind of writing from that which is meant to be read!
Tattoo Convention Previews
There are several major tattoo conventions over the year, and we write preview blogs for a lot of them, but especially the ones we'll be filming at. They're full of helpful information for artists and enthusiasts, like who's going to be there, how much tickets cost, and what to expect in terms of entertainment.
Best Seasonal Tattoo Blogs
At key points throughout the year, I'll write a blog like this that collects together excellent examples of the subject matter in question from our sponsored artists. Halloween is probably the easiest, as the industry is full of horror fans - Christmas was a little more challenging!
