In this episode, we dive into one of the most overlooked but fastest-growing side hustles in America: permanent jewelry. If you’ve ever wondered, “Is permanent jewelry profitable?”, “Can you start a permanent jewelry business with no experience?”, or “What’s the next big side hustle that isn’t saturated yet?”, this chapter reveals it all.

You’ll discover why farmers markets, pop-ups, and small towns are becoming gold mines for permanent jewelry artists, why customers happily pay $80–$150 for something that costs under $10 to make, and why demand is exploding across the U.S. with thousands of people searching “permanent jewelry near me” every single month.

We break down:

• The massive supply and demand gap that makes this opportunity so profitable
• Real success stories from students making $10K, $20K, even $50K+ per month
• Why this business works even if you have no jewelry experience, no following, and no business background
• How the experience economy, TikTok trends, and even Netflix have pushed permanent jewelry into mainstream culture
• The multiple revenue streams you can stack — markets, events, pop-ups, private parties, and even a home studio
• Why small towns are actually outperforming big cities
• The mental blocks that hold people back and how to break through them
• The limited-time market window before the industry becomes saturated

This episode is your roadmap to understanding why permanent jewelry is the next big six-figure side hustle and why now is the time to start.

If you’re exploring ways to make extra income, looking for a flexible side hustle, or wanting to build a business with low startup costs and high profits, this is where your journey begins.

Tony Cruz Interviews Christine 

In this insightful interview, I spoke with Christine, an educator based in Las Vegas. With 11 years of experience and 5 years focusing in the beauty industry, Christine shares her inspiring journey from the Philippines to the U.S. Starting with Laura Mercier, she transitioned into the world.

Christine shared that, as a newcomer, she had to hustle to build her clientele. By turning customers into content models in exchange for reviews, she strategically grew her base through word-of-mouth. Her approach was all about focusing on content creation and referrals. Some of her key strategies included:

• Offering free touch-ups to customers who referred 2-3 new clients.
• Dedicating time each week to work with content models and generate valuable content.
• Building strong customer relationships by offering exclusive discounts to content models instead of slashing prices.

Now, Christine educates others and continues to create high-quality content, empowering entrepreneurs to maintain their standards while growing their brand.
