Social media for tattoo studios is not marketing support, it is the whole shopfront. Nobody chooses an artist from a website. They scroll, they find a style they love, and they message.
Show the work, show the artist, make messaging easy.
Fresh tattoos look good to nobody but the artist. Healed photographs are what serious clients judge you on.
Stencil to finished piece. The most watched format in the industry and the easiest to film.
Studios are collections of individuals. Each artist needs their own style visible or clients cannot pick.
Designs ready to go and gaps in the calendar. The most direct booking driver a studio has.
Cleanliness, setup and atmosphere. It answers the anxiety every first-timer arrives with.
A small budget behind the right piece reaches your actual catchment for very little.
It is almost never the tattooing. It is that the account is a grid of fresh work photographed under a purple light with no context.
Clients are trying to answer three questions before they message. Is this artist good at the style I want, is the studio clean, and will they be easy to talk to. A grid of unlabelled fresh pieces answers none of them.
The studios with waiting lists answer all three constantly, usually without saying anything clever. They just show healed work, film the process and let the artist talk.
A personal following that travels with you between studios and guest spots.
Each artist visible separately so clients can request by name and style.
Fine line, blackwork, realism, traditional. Narrow style, faster growth, better-matched clients.
A different audience with far higher volume. Worth separating rather than mixing into the tattoo feed.
Live client accounts, filmed and edited in-house every week. No stock logos and no borrowed case studies.
Weekly reels, off-plan walkthroughs and market updates for a luxury Dubai broker. Filmed, edited, captioned and posted by us. Followers up 184.8% in 90 days.
Weekly job-progress videos filmed on site, edited and captioned, then posted across their channels. We are on their jobs most weeks.
We built, managed and grew a client YouTube channel to 7,000+ subscribers across 212 videos. Every thumbnail, title and edit was ours.
A full feature film produced end to end, script to screen. The same team and the same kit that shoots your day-to-day content.
Sessions are long and concentration matters. Nothing about content can interrupt the work.
A phone on a small arm, switched on for the stencil and a few minutes of line work, gets everything needed. Add a healed photograph six weeks later and the piece has a complete story with no interruption to anybody.
We work with tattoo studios across:
Written down before we start, so there is never a conversation about what was supposed to happen.
A set number of posts and videos every month, listed in writing. Not a vague promise to keep the account active.
Filming, editing, captions, thumbnails and scheduling all done by the same team, so nothing gets outsourced to somebody you never speak to.
You see the month ahead and sign it off. Nothing goes out that you have not read.
Reach, views and enquiries. If it is not working we say so, rather than reformatting the chart until it looks better.
Plans for social media for tattoo studios start at £799 a month and go up depending on how much gets made and how many platforms you want covered. Websites start at £999, and paid advertising is priced on spend. We quote after a proper conversation rather than off a menu, because a sole trader and a ten-person firm genuinely need different things.
Everything runs month to month. There is no minimum term on social media for tattoo studios, no setup fee and no notice period buried in a clause. If it stops being worth the money you tell us and it stops, which is a large part of why our clients stay.
Usually a labelling problem rather than a volume problem. If the style is not named and the healed result is never shown, people scrolling cannot tell whether you do what they want. Posting more of the same does not fix that.
Most are pleased to be, and a lot of it never shows a face anyway. We agree what is allowed before the session and stay well inside it.
Usually yes, with the studio account promoting all of them. Clients follow artists rather than businesses, and a shared account makes it impossible to tell who does what.
Yes. Process content performs unusually well there and the same footage cuts for Reels with no extra filming, so the cost of covering both is close to nothing.
Social media plans start at £799 a month, and websites start at £999. Ads are priced on spend. However, we quote after a conversation rather than off a menu, because a sole trader and a ten-person firm need very different things.
No. Retainers run month to month. If it is not working, you tell us and it stops.
Content goes live in the first fortnight. Social growth usually shows within weeks. Search rankings take months, though, and anyone promising otherwise is selling you something.
Other things we do, and other people we do them for.
Walkarounds, new stock and handover videos posted every week so your forecourt sells before anyone drives to it.
Transformations, colour work and chair-side reels that fill quiet days and keep the column booked.
Client results, session clips and talking head content that brings enquiries in without you living on your phone.
