Sound Familiar?

Every tattoo shop owner we talk to
hits the same walls.

We post incredible work on Instagram but followers don't turn into consultations.

Walk-ins want flash pieces at low prices — we want to book custom work.

Artists have dead days on their books while the waiting list exists for specific styles.

New customers can't find us because we haven't been on Google long enough.

Conventions bring temporary visibility but we need year-round pipeline.

What We Deliver

A full Meta ads system.
Built for tattoo shops.

01

Artist Portfolio Campaigns

Each artist gets their own campaign showcasing their specific style — fine line, traditional, neo-trad, blackwork — attracting the right client for each chair.

02

Consultation Booking Funnel

Portfolio ad → consultation form with style, placement, and budget fields → confirmed consultation. Pre-qualified leads only.

03

Custom Work Positioning

Content and messaging that communicates the value of custom, original artwork over flash — attracting clients who want a one-of-a-kind piece.

04

Flash Sale & Walk-In Events

For strategic busy periods — conventions, holidays, slow weeks — we run walk-in event ads with time-limited flash designs to fill the schedule.

05

Cover-Up & Correction Campaigns

A separate campaign targeting people with regrettable tattoos looking for cover-up artists — high-value, high-intention audience.

Blended ROAS
We were getting follows but not bookings. The Meta campaign brought in people who were actually ready to commit to a custom piece — the consultation-to-booking rate was way higher than people who just DM'd.— Sam T., Shop Owner & Artist

Tattoo Shop Owner FAQ

Questions we hear every week.

Can Meta advertise tattoo content?+

Yes — tattoo content is advertised on Meta regularly with no policy issues. We avoid any imagery that could be flagged as explicit and focus on clean portfolio-style presentation.

How do you attract custom-work clients vs. flash-only walk-ins?+

We target by interests (art, illustration, fine-line tattoo communities) and use messaging that emphasizes 'custom, original, and one-of-a-kind' to qualify the audience upfront.

Can you run campaigns for individual artists?+

Yes — artist-level campaigns are highly effective. We build separate ad sets for each artist's style with their own portfolio content, attracting the right client for each chair.

What about promoting flash events or conventions?+

Event-specific campaigns with tight date windows work very well. We build urgency-based ads for convention appearances, flash days, and one-time-only design events.

Can you target people looking for cover-up work?+

Yes — we run cover-up-specific campaigns with messaging about transformation and artist expertise. This audience is highly motivated and willing to invest in quality.
