Before you can sell your art, you have to establish a price. How much your art is worth will depend on how good it is and how much return an artist can expect to get on it by having it in their shop. I recommend starting a little high – let’s say $15 per sheet with outlines, so a five sheet set would go for $75.00. That’s pretty good for a new and unknown artist. If it sells at that price, great. If it doesn’t, offer a discount and see if that grabs the buyer. If you go extremely low and still can’t sell your flash, chances are it’s just not unique enough or good enough. That’s a tough reality many artists have to face – just brush yourself off and make your next set even better!
There are several ways you can go about reaching potential buyers for your art. You can post it on the internet, send out mailers to tattoo shops, or visit tattoo shops personally. I think putting your art on the internet is the best and fastest way to reach a lot of people without investing a lot of time or money, but there’s one caveat to posting your art on the web—the risk of someone stealing it.
