Ink Searcher

How It Works

Ink Searcher helps tattoo artists create a polished public profile, showcase portfolio work, and make it easier for clients to send thoughtful inquiries.

For Artists

Artist Journey

Step 1

Create your artist profile

Add your name, bio, experience, hourly rate, tattoo styles, shop details, and the social links clients should use to inquire.

Step 2

Build your portfolio

Upload photos from your device or connect Instagram to import recent posts, then choose the work you want featured on Ink Searcher.

Step 3

Connect with your shop

Select your shop during setup so your work can appear on the shop page and clients can understand where you tattoo.

Step 4

Receive better inquiries

Your public profile gives visitors an Inquire button that points them to your preferred social channels with a useful appointment request draft.

Create/Claim Artist Profile

Your profile is your digital storefront. Start with the basics, connect your shop, and add the portfolio images that best represent your work.

After setup, you can upload directly from your camera roll or files. If you connect Instagram, Ink Searcher can pull in recent Instagram media so you can select portfolio pieces without uploading each image manually.

Imported Instagram photos are copied into your Ink Searcher gallery, so your portfolio can keep loading quickly even after the import is complete.

What to have ready

  • A short bio and your years of experience
  • Your tattoo styles and hourly rate
  • Your shop name or address
  • Instagram, X, or Facebook links for inquiries
  • Portfolio photos or an Instagram account to import from
