Requesting a guest spot

Step by step

1. 1

   Open the studio and tap Guest Request

   Find the tattoo studio you want to guest at — through the Map or by opening its profile — and tap Guest Request.

   If the studio hasn't switched on guest hosting, you'll see a message that it can't take guest requests right now. You can still reach out to the studio directly to arrange something; the studio is told that an artist tried, so demand doesn't go unnoticed.

2. 2

   Review the studio's guest spot information

   On the Guest Request screen you'll see the studio's terms: how many guests it can host at once, its pricing, the equipment it provides, what it requires of guests, and its working hours. Read these before you send anything — they're what you're agreeing to. When you're ready, tap Request Guest Spot.

3. 3

   Pick your dates

   Choose your start and end date on the calendar. The calendar blocks out days the studio is closed and any period it has marked unavailable, and it won't let you pick dates that clash with a guest spot you've already confirmed somewhere else.

4. 4

   Choose a pricing option

   Pick the option you want from what the studio offers — a daily rate, a weekly rate, or commission. See Guest spot pricing for what each model means.

5. 5

   Write a cover letter

   Tell the studio about yourself — your experience, your style, and why you want to guest there. This is what the studio reads when deciding.

6. 6

   Review and submit

   Check your dates, pricing option, and message on the final screen, agree to the studio's terms, and submit. Your request goes to the studio as pending, and the studio is notified.

   You'll hear back when the studio responds. Until then, the request sits under Pending on your Guests screen — see Managing your guest spots for tracking, withdrawing, and cancelling.
