About the shop

American Traditional is the core of what we do. The crew also tattoos Japanese, tribal and fine line. It's a laid-back traditional parlor with walk-ins welcome. Everything stays on the up and up: no drugs, no drama. Positive vibes are always welcome. Meet the crew.

Join the crew

We're always looking for good people in four roles: tattoo artists, guest artists, apprentices and shop help.

Tattoo artists

We want experienced tattoo artists with a solid portfolio and references, and strong traditional work. You should be dedicated and self-motivated, and run your book like a true professional. Be your own boss, without the drama.

Guest spots

Guest spots are always open. Traveling artists looking for a place to call home while in Florida can email, DM or use our request form. Send your portfolio and the dates you'll be in town. See past guests in Guest tattoo artists at Electric Street.

Apprentices

Want to learn to tattoo the traditional way? Bring a portfolio of drawings, ideally traditional flash. Apprentices learn hands-on from working artists. Read Tattoo apprenticeships: why they matter first, and if you're still asking whether you can hack it, read Is tattooing hard?.

Shop help and front desk

Shop help is the face of the shop and the first person clients meet. The job covers answering phones and messages, booking appointments, greeting walk-ins, and keeping the shop clean and set up. You need to be friendly, reliable, good with people and good with details.

What we look for

• A portfolio that shows your work (drawings are fine for apprentices).
• References, for artists.
• Dedication, self-motivation and professionalism.
• No drugs, no drama.

The shop, 320 E Oakland Park Blvd.
