How InkMapp works

Shops and artists each get a free page. They link up, show on the map, and people nearby find them. Here’s how the pieces fit.

Shop page

Run by the owner and their managers.

  • Hours, address and phone
  • Logo and shop photos
  • Styles the shop is known for
  • The artists who work there

Shop invites an artist by email. The artist accepts.

Artist picks their home shop. The shop approves.

One home shop per artist. Their page and work move with them.

Artist page

Run by the artist, and only the artist.

  • Portfolio, tagged by style
  • Prices and what they won’t do
  • Books open or closed
  • Taking walk-ins today

On the map

Both pages show on the map, on city and style pages, and in search.

People find you

They tap Call, Directions, Instagram or Website. No account needed.

You see what works

Views and taps show on your Stats tab, so you know your page is earning its keep.

Free for shops and artists. No password either: you sign in with a link we email you.

For shops

  1. Sign up as a shop owner. Most licensed shops are already listed from state records.
  2. Claim your shop. Email us. We check it’s yours and link it to your login.
  3. Fill in your page. Logo, photos, about, hours and styles. Name, address and license stay matched to state records.
  4. Bring in your team. Invite managers to help run the page. Invite your artists by email, and approve artists who ask to join.
  5. Check your stats. See how many people viewed your page and tapped to call or get directions.

For artists

  1. Sign up as an artist and pick your page’s address, like inkmapp.com/artist/your-name.
  2. Build your page. Profile photo, portfolio tagged by style, prices, about, and what you won’t do. Add your license number and we’ll check it.
  3. Pick your home shop. The shop approves you, or we do if nobody runs that shop’s page yet. If your shop invites you, just accept.
  4. Flip your switches. “Books open” and “Taking walk-ins” sit in your account menu on every page. Walk-ins turn off by themselves after 4 hours.
  5. Check your stats. Views, and taps on your Instagram, phone and more.

Own a shop and tattoo too?

One login covers both. Make your artist page from the same account, and it’s listed at your shop straight away, with nobody to approve it.

Looking for a tattoo?

You don’t need an account. Use the map to see who’s open, who’s taking walk-ins and who does the style you want, then call, get directions or check their Instagram.
