Starting Up a Startup - Jared Hayes: Owner of Apparition Ink - Part 1

This is the first installment of my interview with Apparition Ink owner Jared Hayes. Jared has earned a reputation as one of the best tattoo artists around, and he also runs one of the best tattoo shops. He sheds some light on what it is like to be an entrepreneur and why he chose to open his own shop rather than working for someone else. Jared also echoes the sentiments of every successful business owner when he talks about the amount of work/energy that goes into creating something on your own.

If you would like to get in touch with Jared or one of his awesome artists, go see them at 1700 S. 380 E. in Salt Lake City, Utah. Or, give them a call 801-487-0635. Go see him, and tell him RoyalAnts sent you!

Apparition is a great place. Jared is an extremely gifted tattoo artist and a great guy to talk to while getting inked. If you'd like to see some of his work just take a look at my video http://ad.vu/k3rq (he did both of my sleeves) and Ryan's arm.

Apparition Ink is not your typical tattoo shop. The atmosphere is clean and professional. The artists are gifted, welcoming, and proficient. I have been very pleased with the work I have had done at Apparition Ink and I will continue to give them my support.
