Starting Up a Startup - Jared Hayes: Owner of Apparition Ink - Part 3

Friday, April 3rd, 2009

In the third and final installment of our interview with Apparition Ink owner Jared Hayes, Jared explains why all the hard work is worth it and pays off in the end. He also talks about other potential business ventures he may be part of, such as nan-robot technology! Yes, this time Jared may actually be drinking…

Ryan Johnson makes an appearance to take over control of Pink Jesus, and to offer his…One cent?

All kidding aside, the Apparition crew is a great bunch of guys, and an exceptional group of artists. So, whether you are in the market for a tattoo, a print of one of their pieces of art, a rockin’ T-shirt, or a magnet made by Jared’s lovely wife (they are magnets, not buttons like I refer to them as in the video), Apparition is the place for you. A big THANKS to the Apparition crew for letting me come bug them for a morning!

Starting Up a Startup - Jared Hayes: Owner of Apparition Ink - Part 2

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

You thought Part 1 was mind boggling and breathtaking? Wait ’til you see this! Is Jared really drunk? No! (?)

Jared Hayes continues to give awesome advice for anyone interested in starting their own business. Do you wonder why people are getting tattooed even in a down economy when money is tight? Jared gives thoughts and insight into that issue. He also talks competition, avoiding mistakes, hiring the right people, whip cracking, and wet T-shirt contests.

If you haven’t watched Part 1, scroll down and watch! Part 3 will be up in a few days, so stay tuned!

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

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

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!
