Tattoo artists working in a tattoo studio are covered by the Miscellaneous Award. They’ll be classified based on their duties and qualifications.
The Retail Award doesn’t cover tattoo artists working in a tattoo studio. This is because their employer is in the retail industry but there’s no classification in the Retail Award for the work they do.
