Remote Tattoo Design Illustrator

Embark on an Artistic Adventure — From Anywhere

Are you a bold, creative with ink in your soul and storytelling in your hands? Join a vibrant remote studio where traditional tattoo artistry meets digital freedom. We're a team of rebels, dreamers, and digital trailblazers redefining body art for the next generation. Our journey began with a vision to bring meaningful tattoo designs to life without borders, and we’ve inked our way into countless hearts ever since. Now, we’re looking for a Remote Tattoo Design Illustrator who can help us sketch stories that stay etched forever. If you thrive on detailed line work, dark symbolism, or vibrant illustrative expression, this is your canvas. You'll shape narratives through line and ink, give meaning to moments, and celebrate identity with each stroke. Every design you craft will carry deep emotion, bold energy, and cultural richness — a perfect fusion of personal symbolism and artistic flair that transcends trends.

🖌️ What You’ll Be Creating

🎨 Key Responsibilities

• Transform conceptual briefs into unforgettable tattoo design compositions
• Develop custom illustrations tailored to diverse themes — from minimalist script to full-sleeve mythology
• Use both hand-drawn and digital techniques to deliver clean, scalable artwork
• Collaborate with creative leads, brand consultants, and other illustrators across time zones
• Keep your style flexible — you may design neo-traditional dragons one day and delicate florals the next
• Deliver layered design files and high-res mockups for client review

🌎 Our Remote Work Philosophy

Working remotely doesn’t mean working alone. Our studio functions like a tattoo convention booth — buzzing with creativity, good banter, and cross-cultural inspiration. You’ll join weekly virtual sketch circles, get real-time design feedback, and engage in cross-style design swaps that stretch your limits. We believe artistry should breathe freely, so you’ll have total schedule flexibility while staying connected to a like-minded collective.

🔧 Tools of the Trade

• Adobe Illustrator or Procreate (mandatory)
• Pen tablets (we love Wacom, but any stylus will do if your strokes are strong)
• Miro for visual collaboration and moodboarding
• Trello for managing design queues and feedback loops
• Slack for team updates and design convos

🧠 Who We’re Looking For

✍️ Essential Qualifications

• Minimum 2 years of experience in tattoo design or professional illustration
• Strong understanding of skin placement, composition flow, and needle-to-design logic
• A versatile portfolio showing a range of styles: blackwork, geometric, tribal, surrealist, or illustrative realism
• Comfort working with global teams asynchronously
• High attention to detail and commitment to design hygiene (clean lines, scalable vectors, proper file naming)
• Curiosity to explore cultural symbolism and visual storytelling

💡 Bonus Powers

• Prior experience working with tattoo studios or independent artists
• Ability to animate tattoo concepts for presentation (basic motion skills in After Effects or Canva)
• Familiarity with tattoo symbolism across cultures

✨ What Makes This Gig Epic

• $60,345 annually — fully remote, fully flexible
• Design tattoos that travel the world without leaving your desk
• Be part of an edgy, expressive culture that celebrates artists’ weirdest and most wonderful ideas
• Work with clients who value storytelling, cultural relevance, and creativity
• Join an inclusive community that lives for the intersection of art, self-expression, and identity
• Ongoing upskilling support: access to masterclasses in stylization, symbolism, and digital rendering

🌱 Growth & Creative Evolution

This isn’t just a job — it’s a springboard into the design legacy you want to build. As your skills sharpen, you’ll have opportunities to:

• Lead cross-genre concept sprints
• Mentor junior illustrators in style development and visual narrative
• Participate in brand collaborations with fashion, publishing, and wellness clients seeking unique design identities
