Our purpose

Our goal is to connect with talented tattoo artists around the world — to make friends, build relationships, share skills and ideas, and support each other's work.

Promotion

  • If we reach out to you first, we'll promote your visit on our Instagram (@patch_tattoo_therapy) before your arrival and share updates of your work during and after your session.
  • If you reach out to us about guesting, we'll promote your work if it meets our standards for promotion.
  • We recommend tagging the studio account in your stories and posts to help you gain exposure with our audience.
  • During your session, with your permission, we'll take photos and video of you and your work for our Instagram and TikTok. If you have specific requests about photo or video usage, let us know.

Pricing

  • We offer a 70/30 split. You keep 70% of your daily income; the studio takes 30% to cover space, supplies, promotion, and hosting.
  • Maximum studio payment is capped at $500/day. If 30% of your day exceeds $500, you keep the remainder.
  • If you want help adjusting your pricing for the LA market, we're happy to share suggestions.

Bookings

  • Guest artists handle their own bookings and client communication.
  • We recommend collecting a deposit to protect against last-minute cancellations.
  • For sessions over 3 hours, tell clients to bring a snack or meal.
  • Need help filling your schedule? We can share additional Instagram stories to give you exposure.
