Welcome to the Artful Dollar podcast. I'm Ryan Roi and after 15 years in the tattoo industry I realized a huge need for financial education, not just for tattooers, but for all walks of creative business owners and entrepreneurs.
I've launched The Artful Dollar podcast to share as much knowledge and wisdom from myself and guests on the show in hopes that my listeners will find solutions to their financial struggles
My aim is to share fresh stories and ideas that can help you shift your perspective on money. By exploring new concepts and engaging in transformative conversations, we can naturally develop new habits and take actions that lead to financial abundance.
If you're eager to transform your outlook on money and embark on a journey of shifting your mindset, I invite you to tune into The Artful Dollar podcast. Together, we'll challenge the status quo and explore alternative approaches to money.

đEvery tattooer needs to know about content
⢠It takes 3â6 months for a new follower to become a client (if youâre consistentâthatâs normal!).
⢠Your best-performing post might happen when you least expect itâconsistency > virality.
⢠Only 1â3% of your audience is ready to buy at any given time. The rest are warming upâdonât ghost them.
⢠People donât remember your one perfect post. They remember how you make them feel over time.
⢠Posting the same message in different ways actually builds trust. Repetition = recognition.
⢠Itâs okay if you feel like a broken recordâyour audience often missed it the first time.
⢠Content doesnât have to be viral to be valuable. Quiet posts can still convert.
⢠Someone is always watching, even if theyâre not engaging. Lurkers become buyers.
⢠Great content doesnât come from being an expertâit comes from being helpful.

Why do tattoo artists hate content?
Because tattoo artists hate fake performative bullsh*t
But thatâs not at all what I tell people to post
Just like drawing, you have to find your style of content
If you try to be like someone else, it wonât be authentic
But⌠hereâs the catch
In the beginning, while youâre finding your style
You kinda have to mimic what other people are doing
And it might not come off authentic
But you have to push past that stage
On the other side of that discomfort is the confidence you never knew was possible
Once you hit that stage, making content becomes fun
And if itâs fun, you will be more consistent and build compounding results đŞ

A tattoo client, much wealthier than me once told me:
âThe tax code is a roadmap to wealthâ
I didnât fully understand what he meant at the time
But it got me curious đ§
So I started getting interested in taxes to see what I could learn
Not only did I see what he was talking about
But learning how to do bookkeeping and getting on top of my taxes was a game changer
I ran my business better
I qualified for loans to expand my business and increase my income
I learned how to play the game of taxes and suddenly it wasnât such a burden anymore
Paying my taxes became an opportunity to invest in myself and my future
You might not understand what I mean by that right now
But I hope that you will one day đ

IâM ABOUT TO FLIP A TABLE
The wild entitlement it takes to assume you can just do good tattoos and not need to put yourself out their to attract clients is bonkers to me.
You know who called me the other day?
The f*cking plumber
He did some work for me 3 months ago and he was calling to check in and see how everything was doing.
I said I was good but I appreciate the call
YA KNOW WHAT THIS MF SAID NEXT!?!?
âAwesome well do you know any of the other home owners around you who might need my services?
Iâll give you a $100 off your next visit for everyone you send my way, and they will get a 20% discount if they are a new clientâ
I was like WHOLY SHIT
Thatâs literally one of the things I tell my clients in The Artful Marketer to do!
I said I appreciate the hustle and I texted two of my neighbors his number.

Tattooing ISNâT the business
The BUSINESS is the business
The BUSINESS sells TATTOOS
ALL BUSINESSES NEED TO MARKET THEMSELVES
Alright, Iâm gonna go drink some tea, and meditate to cool off from this rant
GO GET AFTER IT đŞ
