Learning More About the Industry

If you are interested in starting a tattoo parlor, it's a wise move to learn as much as you can from somebody who is already in the business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. What's in it for them?

However, a fellow entrepreneur who has started a tattoo parlor in a different city will be much more likely to talk with you, as long as they don't view you as a competitive threat. Indeed, many experienced entrepreneurs enjoy offering advice to startup entrepreneurs. In my experience, you may have to call ten business owners in order to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.

Where can an aspiring entrepreneur like you find a tattoo parlor manager who is willing to talk to you but doesn't live nearby?
