How an oversaturated tattoo market is hurting some professional Montreal artists | CBC News

The tattoo industry in Montreal is facing saturation as more artists enter the market, leading to increased competition. This growth has resulted in a challenging environment for artists who now struggle to find clients and sustain their businesses. Many new artists are undercutting prices, affecting the livelihood of more established professionals. The industry’s popularity and the normalization of tattoos have contributed to this trend, but not all artists are benefiting equally. Established artists suggest that aspiring tattooists need to focus on building strong client relationships and offering unique styles or specialties to survive in this crowded market.
