Find out if BTAF membership is right for your professional tattoo career, including legal advice and networking benefits.

BTAF Membership is a professional association designed to support people working in the tattoo industry.

Who it's for

This membership is specifically for professional tattoo artists. It is intended for those who are working in the industry and looking for professional support and connections within the trade.

What you get

Members gain access to industry networking, which allows you to connect with other professionals in the tattoo community. You also receive legal advice to help you navigate the professional landscape of your work. Additionally, the membership provides representation, helping to support your interests as a member of the industry.

What it costs you

To maintain your membership and access these professional benefits, you are required to pay an annual membership fee. You should check the current rates through the official association channels to plan your yearly professional expenses.

The catch to know

The most important thing to understand is that this is a trade body, not a government regulator. While it provides support and representation for its members, it does not function as a government agency or a regulatory body for the industry.
