01 / The Pitch

Three reasons the good shops show up here.

01

Verified profile

Claim your shop, verify your artists, cross-check your licenses. Clients see the badge and know it's real. Nothing on your page is guessed — you own the source of truth.

02

Real-review credibility

Our reviews use six granular sub-scores and a would-rebook binary. It's the metric that actually predicts whether a client comes back. Great shops score high. Coasters don't.

03

High-intent traffic

Nobody browses Tattoo Review for entertainment. They browse when they're ready to book. Consult requests come in with reference, budget, and heal-time expectations already sorted.

02 / How it works

Four steps — the last one is your job.

01

Claim your shop

Search for your studio, click Claim, and confirm you're a working shop. Free forever, five minutes to complete.

02

Verify your artists

Invite your roster. Each artist gets their own profile with their portfolio, specialties, and their own rebook score.

03

Post the healed work

Add your best healed photos, tagged with heal-time and the artist who did it. This is the portfolio that actually wins consults.

04

Get booked

Consult requests come in via your profile with reference and context. Reply from your dashboard. Do the work you love.

04 / What we won't do

Three lines we refuse to cross.

No pay-to-play rankings

Featured shops get placement. They do not get their would-rebook scores boosted. The number under your name is always the real number.

No fake reviews

Every review is tied to a verified reviewer with a real history on the platform. We flag and remove reviews that fail our fraud checks. If yours are real, you have nothing to worry about.

No lead-buying

Some directories sell leads to whoever bids highest. We don't. When a client contacts your shop, it's because they picked your work — not because we sold you their name.

05 / FAQ

Questions worth answering.

Do you take a commission on my bookings?

No. When a client books through your profile, the money goes directly between you and them. Featured Shop is a flat monthly subscription, not a per-booking cut. Deposits held in escrow for flash bookings have a small transaction fee that covers the processor; we don't take a percentage.

How does verification work?

We cross-check three things: your public health-department license (where the state publishes them), your business registration, and a signed statement from the shop owner. Most claims process in 24-48 hours. You get a verified badge on your profile once complete.

What if we get a bad review?

You can respond publicly to any review from your dashboard. You can flag reviews that violate our policy (fraudulent, defamatory, off-topic) and our review team will look at them within 48 hours. Most importantly: negative reviews are usually a smaller impact than shops fear. Clients weigh patterns, not one-offs.

Can I be Featured in more than one city?

Yes. Each city is priced separately. If you have a Brooklyn shop and a Manhattan shop, you'd hold two Featured slots ($149/mo each). Most shops start with one city and expand once they see the traffic.

Are we required to be exclusive?

Never. Keep your Instagram, your Yelp, your studio site. Tattoo Review is designed to complement your existing presence, not replace it. Some shops send all their bookings through us; others use us just for the search visibility. Both work.

What happens if I cancel Featured?

You drop back to the Verified Shop tier immediately — no lockout, no data loss. Your profile stays live, your reviews stay live, and you keep everything you posted. You just lose the city pinning and the homepage rails.
