The tattoo industry continues to grow remarkably as more people embrace body art. While this is a great move and one that has opened the industry to more customers, it has also exposed the many gaps in the space. There are many regulatory loopholes in the tattoo industry, from ink production to the training of tattoo artists, which puts the public at risk. This is one of the many gaps Ben Shaw, a well-known tattoo artist and advocate based in New Mexico, has been working to bridge.

Ben Shaw is a public speaker, trained tattoo artist, and regulatory specialist who has been in the industry for years. Ben is utilizing his public speaking skills to transform the tattoo industry as he pushes for safe tattooing and appropriate regulation.

According to Ben, his goal is to create a better tattoo industry where there are zero regulatory loopholes. Tattoos are significant, and they carry different messages and meanings. Unfortunately, as the demand for tattoos increases, not all joining the industry fully know the basics and how to correctly draw a tattoo without causing harm.
