Your clients are tattooed parents
They're in your chair — or your line — right now, thinking about their kids. A picture book that celebrates ink-wearing moms and dads isn't a stretch purchase — it's the easiest yes of their visit.
Wholesale · Mommy and Daddy Have Tattoos
A children's book about tattooed parents — built for local shops, not chains.
Your clients are parents. Their kids have questions about the ink. This book answers them — in bouncy read-aloud rhyme — and it sells from your counter while you work.
Tattoo studios first — and coffee houses, barbershops, gift shops, any local counter where parents wait.

Why it sells in local shops
Bookstores shelve it next to ten thousand other titles. On the counter of a tattoo studio, coffee house, barbershop, or gift shop, it's the only children's book in the room — and it's about your customers.
Six copies cost $42. They sell for $84.
Packs land at $5.98–$7.00 per book depending on size. Sell at the $13.99 MSRP and every copy puts roughly seven dollars in the drawer. No haggling, no consignment math.
The counter does the selling
Face the cover out by the register and it pitches itself: clients waiting on a session, parents picking up a friend, walk-ins grabbing aftercare. You never have to say a word.
Four shops put it in front of their customers in five days
In September we sent fifty independent shops three copies each — with a note written out by hand, nothing to sign and nobody following up. We never asked anyone to post about it. These four did anyway, on their own accounts, within five days of the box landing.
Yellow Rose Tattoo
Salt Lake City · @yellowrosetattoos
Posted it to their story thirty-five minutes after the box reached the front desk.
Guru Tattoo
San Diego · @gurutattoo
Twenty-four years in business. Put the books in the shop and posted them twice.
333 Tattoo Studio
Houston · @333tattoohtx
Stood all three up facing out on the counter, then told us they’d push them.
Gristle Tattoo
Brooklyn · @gristletattoo
Box arrived at the end of the day. It was up on their story first thing next morning.
“Funny, heartfelt, and full of love, this is one of those books you’ll read again and again.”

Become your city's Priority Partner
Here's the deal, in plain words: the first shop in a metro to reorder becomes that city's Priority Partner. One shop per city. Yours, if you move first — and yours to keep, as long as you keep the book moving.
- Your pin goes gold and sits on top of the map — first name a parent sees in your city
- Your shop name is a live link straight to your own site — every stocking shop gets that; the crown just puts you first
- First access to every new title in the series, before anyone else in your city
- Spotlights on our channels — your shop, your artists, your wall
No contracts. The title is held by whoever keeps ordering — go quiet, and a hungrier shop in your city can take it.
Where to find the book
Partner shops carrying Mommy and Daddy Have Tattoos, coast to coast. Parents: walk in, say hi, buy local.

Run a shop? Every shop that stocks the book gets a pin — and your shop’s name on that pin is a live link to your own site. Not a logo. Not a listing. A door we point people at.
Partner shops appear here as they join — yours could anchor your city. Stock the book to get on the map.
- Priority Partner — your city’s flagship
- Stocking shop — sells it off the counter
- Seeded — we mailed them a box
In September we sent three copies each to 50 independent shops across 27 states. Handwritten note, nothing to sign, nobody following up. The hollow pins are every one of them. We’ve been posting the whole campaign as it happens on @daisyandbanditt — the boxes, the shops that wrote back, and the ones that didn’t.
Signed copies, from our desk
$24.99 personalized & signed
We sign every one at the kitchen table on our ranch in southern Oregon — to your kiddo, your shop, or whoever's getting spoiled. Tell us the name; we'll do the rest. Ships free by Media Mail (7–10 days).

About the name
Daisy and the Banditt are what Frank and Kelsey Brannen have called each other for thirty years — the flower and the outlaw.
They raised four kids on a ranch in southern Oregon, where the grandkids now run the place and the bees mostly behave.
Mommy and Daddy Have Tattoos is the first book in a series about families of every kind.
— Daisy & the Banditt
Questions shops actually ask
What are the wholesale terms?
Simple: pick a pack, pay for the pack. No minimums beyond the pack size, no contracts, no forced reorders, no fine print. If it doesn't sell (it will), you owe us nothing further.
How does shipping work?
Every pack ships free by USPS Media Mail and lands in 7–10 days. US only for now. You'll get a tracking number the day it leaves Oregon.
What if books arrive damaged?
We replace damaged copies free — just email a photo within 7 days of delivery to [email protected] and replacements go out with the next mail run.
What should I charge?
MSRP is $13.99 — the same price it sells for on Amazon, and we never undercut you. Charge the sticker and keep roughly half of every sale.
How do reorders work?
Email us or just use your original payment link again — whichever's easier. Heads up: your second order is what makes you your city's Priority Partner, so the reorder is the one that counts.
Can I lose Priority Partner status?
Only by going quiet. The title belongs to the most recently active reordering shop in your metro: if you haven't ordered in a while and another shop in your city is reordering steadily, the crown moves to them. No contracts either way — it's simply loyalty, rewarded in both directions.
Do you only work with tattoo shops?
Tattoo shops are where this book was born — its families are their families, and they’ll always be first in line. But the machine behind it is built for independent local counters of every kind: coffee houses, barbershops, gift shops, farm stands. Same packs, same terms, same free shipping. Chains, no. And Priority Partner crowns are per city, per trade — a coffee crown never competes with a tattoo crown. Curious if your counter fits? [email protected]
What about sales tax?
These are wholesale purchases for resale, so in most states no sales tax applies to your order — you collect it at the register instead. Where applicable, send us your resale certificate and we'll keep it on file.
Who prints it?
Printed in the USA and shipped from our place in southern Oregon. We pack every box ourselves — usually with a handwritten note, always with too much tape.
