Filtering the map
Narrow the map down to exactly who you're looking for — by discipline, by tattoo style, by following, by events or open jobs — and save the filter sets you use often.
Out of the box the map shows everything around you. The filters let you cut that down to exactly what you're after. Tap the filter button at the top of the map to open the filter sheet — its tabs run across the top.
The map's filters are their own thing. They don't touch your feed filters, and your feed filters don't touch the map.
Type
The first tab. Pick which kinds of pins you want to see:
- Professionals — independent practitioners, by discipline: tattoo, piercing, makeup, body mod, laser.
- Studios — shops, by the same disciplines.
- News — studios running events, or studios with open job offers.
Each button shows a live count of how many are in the area you're viewing. Turn on as many as you like; the map shows pins that match any of them.
Style
Tattoo styles — black & grey, realism, traditional, and so on. Because styles only apply to tattoo work, this narrows down tattoo artists and studios. Leave it empty to ignore style.
Quality
Filters about the person, not the kind of work:
- Following only — just the accounts you already follow. (You'll need to be signed in for this one.)
- Minimum followers, awards, years of experience, reviews, and rating.
- Languages spoken.
Set any of these and the map keeps only practitioners who clear the bar.
Events
Filter the events on the map by date — a range or specific days — and by event type.
Jobs
Filter the open job offers on the map by job type.
Seeing and clearing what's active
Every filter you set shows up as a removable chip in the active-filters row. Tap a chip's × to drop just that one, or use Clear All to reset everything. A results list also slides up from the bottom showing the matches for your current filters — tap a card to open that profile.
Saving filter sets
If there's a combination you use often, tap the bookmark icon in the filter sheet to save it with a name. Saved sets appear in the presets row above the map, so you can reload a whole set in one tap instead of rebuilding it each time. You can also save your current map position alongside the filters, and manage or rename your saved sets later.
Frequently asked questions
- I set filters on the map but my feed looks the same — is that a bug?
No. Map filters and feed filters are completely separate. Setting one never changes the other.
- Why is the Following filter asking me to sign in?
Following-only shows accounts you follow, which only exists once you're signed in. Sign in and the toggle works.
