The Tattoo & Piercing Franchise for people who've seen every other franchise.
“No money down” usually means “no.” Here's a real yes.
You've scrolled past the burger chains, the gyms, and the half-million-dollar wax centers. Fine Ink is a studio-sized, artist-founded business in a culture about a third of American adults already wear.
Build Fund Scale is our path for operators with the drive but not the capital. We build the studio. We fund it. As it grows, you buy into ownership from its cash flow.
Investment range per Fine Ink Studios FDD Item 7. Tattoo prevalence: Pew Research Center, 2023.
BFS eligibility and terms are disclosed in the Fine Ink Studios FDD. No income or ownership timeline is promised.
Our estimated initial investment is $90,000 to $157,800 per our FDD. Studio-sized build-outs, not restaurant kitchens.
You don't need to. Owners lead the business, and the 17-week Fine Ink Academy trains and certifies your artists and piercers.
Gallery-inspired studios, real artistry, and clients who wear the work for life. It's a business with a pulse.
Spa-level hospitality, standardized sanitation, and inclusive by design. That standard is the brand.
No hype. We walk you through Item 19 of our FDD and connect you with current owners so you can ask them yourself.
Bring them. Every call, and Discovery Day, is open to your partner.
BFS is a documented structure. The terms are in our FDD, and we walk through them with you line by line.
BFS doesn't require a home-equity loan or a retirement rollover to open your studio.
BFS is designed so ownership transfers to you in portions as the studio grows.
You share ownership early in exchange for opening without the capital. We'd rather show you the trade-off than hide it.
No. Same brand, same Academy, same support as every Fine Ink owner.
You get an operations manual, KPI coaching, and a team that has run studios since 2009.
We're building density in Florida first. Getting in now means the most runway: more open territory, more time to grow, and a front-row seat as the brand expands.
Owners who join early get first pick of territory while the map is wide open, and the most time to build their market.
Florida is where Fine Ink has operated since 2009, so our support team, training, and field visits are close by.
Most tattoo studios are independent, with no national brand behind them. That leaves room to lead.
Territory availability changes as franchises are awarded. Current availability is confirmed during your FDD review. Map: U.S. Census Bureau boundaries.
A studio-sized investment with a whole room earning: tattoo, piercing, and retail under one roof.
Average unit volume is average annual gross sales, not profit. Figure per Item 19 of the Fine Ink Studios FDD, which states the number of studios, time period, and basis. Some studios sold this amount or more; many did not. Your results may differ. [ITEM 19 BASIS: # OF STUDIOS, PERIOD]
Lash, wax, massage, and salon-suite franchises commonly start north of $250,000. A Fine Ink studio is built to open for a fraction of that, with no guesswork about where the money goes.

Built for people with the leadership to run a studio and the patience to grow into owning it.
Site selection, lease, design, and build-out, led by our team to the Fine Ink standard.
The capital to open comes from us, not from your house or your retirement account.
As the studio grows, you buy portions of ownership from its cash flow, over time.
Owners come from corporate careers, service, hospitality, and the tattoo world itself. The Academy develops the artists. You build the culture they want to work in.
You've led teams and run numbers. You want a business with a pulse, not another commodity storefront.
You've spent years in the chair. You respect the craft, and you'd love to build the kind of studio you'd want to walk into.
You're an artist or piercer with a following. You're ready to own the room instead of renting a corner of it.
