Tattoo artist websites

Websites for tattoo artists and shops

Your Instagram shows what you have done. Your website tells someone whether you do the style they want, how you book, and what happens on the day

Before the first message

The best booking request is the one you do not have to chase

Placement, size, colour or black and grey, a link to a reference, and the days they can come in. When the site asks for all of that up front, the first message you read is one you can actually answer, not the start of a long back and forth

What goes on it

Built around how a tattoo actually gets booked

From the first look at your work to the aftercare, each page answers something you are otherwise answering one message at a time

  • A portfolio sorted by style

    Fine line, traditional, blackwork, colour, whatever you actually do. Someone who wants one style finds it in a tap instead of scrolling past everything else you do

  • Flash on a page of its own

    Available designs in one place, so a client can point at one and ask for it by name instead of describing it from a screenshot they half remember

  • A consultation form with the details

    Placement, size, colour, a link to a reference and when they are free, all in one request. You read the whole idea once rather than piecing it together across a week of messages

  • Aftercare and shop policies

    Aftercare you can send as a link, plus your rules on age and ID, deposits, rescheduling and touch-ups. Written once, in plain words, and never typed out again

  • Walk-ins or appointments, said plainly

    Whether you take walk-ins, which days, and which pieces need a consultation first. Somebody who drives over on a Saturday should already know if the door is open

  • Every artist in the shop

    A shop gets a page for each artist, with their own style, their own work and their own way to book. A client finds the right person, not just the first name on the list

The honest part

Two launched sites, both bridal, both the build you would get

I have not built a tattoo site yet, and I would rather say so than dress it up. These two are bridal makeup artists in East Tennessee. Same design work, same written words, same testing on real phones, at the same price a tattoo artist pays

What it costs

Three builds, and no monthly fee on any of them

A solo artist with one style can do a lot with a single page. A shop with several artists wants a page for each, which starts at the multi-page site. Whichever it is, you pay once and the site is yours

  • One-page site

    $350 normally $500

    One page that does the job. For when Instagram is already doing the selling

  • Multi-page site

    $700 normally $1,000

    The one most people want. Portfolio, services, your story, and a form that actually delivers

  • Full build

    $1,260 normally $1,800

    Everything above, plus the back office. Inquiries, contracts and signatures in one place

Every price, with what each one includes

Fair questions to ask first

Have you built a tattoo site before

Not yet. Both sites I have launched are bridal, and a tattoo artist gets the same build, the same testing and the same price

Will it look like a beauty site

No. The look comes from your work and your shop, so the two sites above tell you about the build and the testing, not about how yours will look

Can the site take deposits

It links into whatever already takes them, like Square or your booking app, rather than replacing it. If you only take a deposit after a consultation, the form is built around that instead

How soon could it be live

One to two weeks from our first call, whichever build you pick. What decides which end is how fast your photos reach me

Tell me about your style and how you book

A line about the shop and a link to your Instagram is plenty. I reply to every one myself, usually the same day
