The News tab
OverviewWhat the News area covers — guest spots, events, meetings, and job offers — where each one lives in the app, and which help section to read for the details.
News is where you keep up with what's happening around InkMap. It lives in two places: the News tab in the bottom bar, and a News tab on profiles.
The bottom News tab is open to everyone. It has an Events section and a Job Offers section, each with a filter bar to narrow results by type, date, and place. The News tab on a profile shows that account's own events and job offers. On your own profile it also holds private sections only you can see — your meetings and your job applications — and tattoo artists get a Guests section there for their confirmed guest spots.
Everything the News area pulls together has its own dedicated help section. Here's what each one is and where to read more.
Guest Spots
A guest spot is when a tattoo artist works out of another studio for a stretch of time. Once a guest spot is confirmed, those dates show up under the Guests section of the artist's profile. Guest spots are for tattoo artists and tattoo studios.
For how they're arranged and managed, see the Guest Spots section.
Events
Events are flash days, workshops, charity days, and other one-off happenings. Anyone can browse them from the Events section of the News tab and filter by type, date, and place. Studios and conventions can post their own.
To browse and join, see Finding and joining events. For the full picture, see Events.
Meetings
A meeting is a private get-together a studio sets up with its team. If you're invited, it appears in the private Meetings section of your profile's News tab, where you reply to the invite. Studios organise and manage meetings from their calendar.
For the full picture, see How meetings work on InkMap.
Job Offers
The Job Offers section of the News tab lists open positions. You can filter by type and location and apply straight from a listing. Studios and conventions can post offers and review applicants.
For the full picture, see How job offers work on InkMap.
