Posting as a practitioner

Step by step

1. 1

   Open the posting form

   Go to your own profile and find the feed sub-tabs. Tap the tab for the kind of post you want — tattoo artists choose Tattoos, Flashs, or Lifestyle; other disciplines choose their work tab or Lifestyle — then tap the Add … Post button.

2. 2

   Add your photos

   Pick up to six photos. The first one is the cover.

3. 3

   Tag your clients (optional)

   Search for and tag the client who received the work. Tagged clients get a card on their Collabs page, where they choose whether to appear on the post.

4. 4

   Write a description

   Describe the piece — the brief, the placement, anything worth saying.

5. 5

   Add the studio and location

   Pick the studio where the work was done, or enter an address. This is what places your post on the map and in location filters.

6. 6

   Fill in the work details

   This is the discipline-specific part — see What the work details cover below for what each discipline is asked.

7. 7

   Review and post

   Check the summary and post. Your work appears in the feeds straight away.

• Portfolio posts versus Lifestyle posts

  • Portfolio posts show up in your discipline's feed (Tattoos, Piercings, Makeup, Laser, or Body Mod) and are the work clients browse and compare. They carry the full set of work details so they can be filtered and, for tattoos, ranked.
  • Lifestyle posts are the simplest kind — just photos and a description. They appear in the cross-discipline Lifestyle feed, not your work feed, and aren't filtered or ranked. To post one, pick the Lifestyle tab before tapping Add Post.

  For how the feeds and filters fit together, see feed categories explained.

• What the work details cover

  The details step asks for what's useful to clients searching in your discipline:

  • Tattoo — the elements shown, the style, the colour type, and the placement and size.
  • Piercing — the placement on the body and the jewelry type.
  • Laser removal — the session number, the treatment area, and how old the original tattoo is.
  • Body modification — the type of modification.
  • Permanent makeup — the body part, touch-up sessions, and the ink colour and brand.

• Tattoo artists: tattoos, Flash, and collaborators

  Tattoo artists have three tabs. Tattoos is for completed custom work. Flash is for available designs — a Flash post adds one extra step asking how the design was made, from hand-drawn to AI-generated, so the feed stays honest about AI use. Tattoo artists can also tag fellow tattoo artists as collaborators when more than one of you worked on a piece; the other disciplines tag clients only.

• Your posts go live immediately

  There's no background review queue for practitioner posts — they publish the moment you post. The Pending verification step you may have heard about applies to collector posts, not yours.

Frequently asked questions

Where's the Lifestyle option?

It's a separate feed tab on your profile. Switch to the Lifestyle tab first, then tap Add Post — the form drops to just photos and a description.

Do my posts get reviewed before they appear?

No. Practitioner posts publish immediately. The background review with a Pending verification badge is only for collectors posting work done on them.

What's the difference between a Tattoo post and a Flash post?

Tattoos are finished custom work; Flash is available designs clients can book. They live in separate feeds, and Flash adds a short question about how the design was created.

Can I tag another artist who worked on the piece with me?

Tattoo artists can tag fellow tattoo artists as collaborators. The other disciplines can tag clients but not peer practitioners today.
