We were lucky to catch up with Jaquelyn Puma recently and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Jaquelyn, thanks for joining us today. What’s been the best thing you’ve ever seen (or done yourself) to show a customer that you appreciate them?

As a tattoo artist, I have encountered all walks of life. Some people are coming to just get a tattoo but majority of people that come to me are coming to get healed. I feel like my work has a higher purpose than just being aesthetically pleasing. I am connecting with my clients and their energy on a daily basis, talking about what matters to them, what they love, what they’ve lost. They help ME more than they know, they help me heal my issues too.

Jaquelyn, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I worked really hard. I had a traditional tattoo apprenticeship.

What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?

That I don’t know anything. Everyday I know nothing and I remain teachable.

Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?

When Instagram started, I went door to door with my name on cards. I have also been blessed to be featured in several big magazines and publications.
