About Ink Searcher
Ink Searcher was built to make finding the right tattoo artist easier, more transparent, and more personal.
The tattoo industry is full of incredible talent, but discovering artists — and seeing their work in one place — can be fragmented, inconsistent, and frustrating for both artists and clients. Ink Searcher exists to solve that.
We are a U.S.-based marketplace platform designed to help tattoo artists showcase their work through dedicated portfolios while giving customers a simple way to explore styles, connect with artists, and start real conversations — all in one place.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: empower tattoo artists and help clients find the artist that’s right for them.
We believe great tattoos start with great connections. Ink Searcher focuses on visibility, communication, and creative freedom — not commissions, booking fees, or forced transactions.
For Artists
Ink Searcher gives artists a platform to:
- Build and display a professional portfolio
- Market their work without giving up ownership
- Connect directly with potential clients through instant messaging
- Choose optional subscription features that support growth — without gatekeeping creativity
Artists always retain ownership of their work. We never sell, license, or repurpose uploaded images beyond what’s necessary to operate the platform.
For Clients
Ink Searcher helps clients:
- Discover tattoo artists based on style and portfolio
- View real work in one place
- Communicate directly with artists before committing
- Make informed decisions without pressure or hidden fees
Ink Searcher does not book appointments or process tattoo payments — we believe those conversations belong directly between artists and clients.
What We Are (and Aren’t)
Ink Searcher is:
- A portfolio-driven marketplace
- A discovery and communication platform
- Artist-first and creator-respecting
Ink Searcher is not:
- A tattoo studio
- A booking agent
- A payment processor between artists and clients
All services, pricing, and agreements are handled directly between users.
Built With Respect for the Industry
Ink Searcher was created with respect for the tattoo community — its art, its professionalism, and its independence. We actively moderate content, prohibit explicit or inappropriate material, and maintain platform standards that protect both artists and clients.
As the platform grows, our focus remains the same: clarity, trust, and connection.
