I'm a bit concerned about the "advice" that scottwoodbur insists on dishing out at every opportunity, as well as constantly spamming the forum with advertisments for his services.

 

Scott - I'm sure other users of the forum would take more notice if you had a small advert in your signature.

wheres the advice i'm dishing out? i'm letting people know of an offer we are doing for bank holiday due to a few booking dropping out not realising it was bank holiday,

[angel_b]

Perhaps advice was the wrong word. I could go back through the numerous threads you've posted in and pull several examples but most recently, I refer to you advocating the use of Erase/Eraze and offering it to your clients. No tattooist worth their salt would ever use such a product, let alone refuse to acknowledge that the key ingredient is ACID. This could mean one of two things:

 

1 - You have no knowledge of the products in use at your studio, but continue to use them regardless.

2 - You know full well what is in Erase/Eraze, but ignorance is bliss.

 

Either way, it does not bode well for you.

 

I should also point out that potential tattooees have a duty of care to themselves to thoroughly research their chosen studio/artist before going ahead with any work.

angel_b, scot has posted that he's not a tattooist or a piercer. He owns a studio and employs people to do that stuff. I guess that means that he personally doesn't know all the details and is following the lead from his hired experts. Sounds like a sensible plan. Have someone who specialises in running a business run the business and specialists in doing the stuff to do it.

 

I'm a software guy, I'd never want to run my own software business because I know nothing about sales, running a business, accountancy etc. But, if I was a business person, I would trust my software engineers to advise me what was possible, what the best tools were etc.

 

You claim no tattoist worth their salt would ever use such a product, on what basis do you make this claim? Do you have detailed knowledge of the product? Are you a tattoist? (I'm not having a go here, just trying to understand where you are coming from).

 

E-Raze specifically state that it's not an acid treatment ref. None of the ingredients appear to be acid.

[THEMike]

Apologies, wasn't 100% clear, although E-Raze contains Benzoic Acid, it's worth noting that it's not an "Acid" like Sulphuric or something. Benzoic Acid is a food preservative.

 

The ingredients in order of quantity are as follows Water, zinc oxide, magnesium oxide, calcium oxide, n-propanol, TEA benzoic acid
