🖤🐍 Ophidian is hiring! 🐍🖤
We are looking to bring on another artist in a part-time shared booth position. As we expand and evolve, there could be potential to move to full time in the future. We are a very busy shop with lots of potential for both walk-ins and scheduled appointments alike. Ophidian is a very close knit shop that caters to a diverse clientele. We would love to find someone that will feel at home our space, and is eager to grow their skill set and career.
If you think you would be a good fit, send us a DM so that we can easily access your social media

Last year Carly started her apprenticeship and ended the year with her first tattoos! She has being doing great and we are proud! You have to be creative, willing to learn, self-motivated, open to criticism and overall a little crazy…and she is all of the above!
✨I want to thank and for being so loving and gracious with their time, space and contributions to Carly’s progress. It really does take a whole tattoo village!
