456 TATTOO FOR HIRE.
If you're a licensed tattoo artist working at a studio, look into hosting tattoo parties. Groups of friends (or families, if they're related to
Dog the Bounty Hunter
) who want to get inked can do so in the comfort of their own home, and you can make a couple hundred dollars for every person in attendance. Be sure to check out state laws regarding this trend — no one ruins a tattoo party like the fuzz busting in when you're only halfway done with a tat.

457 DO HENNA TATTOOS FOR HIRE.
Henna, a natural and temporary dye, is much safer than tattoo ink. Henna parties can be a fun option for kids' birthday parties, bachelorette parties, or even proms. Advertise your services at salons and be sure to perfect a few “signature” tattoos so that you look like you know what you're doing.

458 MAKE NATURAL INK.
Get in touch with your old-world self and make some fun-colored ink out of natural resources like berries. Package it with a quill and you'll have Renaissance geeks going crazy.

459 WRITE INVITATIONS IN CALLIGRAPHY.
Calligraphy is relatively easy to learn. Take a class and start writing invitations for customers. People pay a lot of money for perfect wedding invitations. Just make sure you know exactly what they want. You don't want to have to redo 200 invitations for a bridezilla.

460 DESIGN INVITATIONS.
Feel like you missed your calling as a graphic artist? Join the club. Make some extra cash on the weekends by doing layout design for invitations (weddings, showers, birthdays, etc). If you don't have a program like InDesign or Quark, see if you can use a computer lab at your local college.

461 LAYOUT RESTAURANTS' MENUS.
You know the scene: you sit down at a restaurant, open the menu, and wait to be taken in by the delicious sounding dishes. But when you crack it open, you're not sure where to start looking — and you can't really read the small type anyway. Offer your services as a layout artist — charge extra for correcting spelling at international restaurants (chiken with kapers anyone?)

462 WORK AS A STORYTELLER.
If you like kids and can spin a yarn or two, consider working as a storyteller. Libraries, schools, and festivals will often hire storytellers to entertain children. You can make up your own or retell classics such as “The Princess and the Pea” and “Rumpelstiltskin.”
