Today we’d like to introduce you to Zac Day.
Zac, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I got my first tattoo shortly after graduating from high school. I slowly started just hanging out at the tattoo shop I went to. Started answering the phone and doing paperwork. That turned into me learning to pierce so I could make some money. Then one of the guys offered to apprentice me in tattooing. After tattooing in a few different shops and 14 years later, I opened my own shop. This is Main Event Tattoo. We opened the doors June 15, 2021.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Opening a business is never a smooth road. Some of the biggest struggles dealt with not knowing all the information I needed and having to find out along the way. The build out and final inspection took longer than expected.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
With tattooing in Columbus, next to Ft. Benning, you have to be able to do a few different styles. The military brings in people from all different backgrounds and style preferences.
I feel most comfortable with the traditional tattoo style. Some say American Traditional or Old School.
I am most proud of my clients who always come back and refer me to their friends.
My overall personality and customer interaction is what I think sets me apart.
What has been the most important lesson you’ve learned along your journey?
Very specific to deciding to open a shop, always bet on yourself.
