The Locations tab
What the Locations tab shows — your guest-spot count, your best guest spot by revenue, a year-by-year timeline of where you worked, and a performance breakdown per location. Project-based practitioners only.
The Locations tab is about where your work happens. It only appears for tattoo artists, because tattoo artists are the only practitioners who travel for guest spots in InkMap today. No other practitioner type sees this tab.
The numbers at the top
Two figures sum up your travelling work for the period:
- Guest Spots — how many separate guest-spot stays you finished. Work at your home studio isn't counted here.
- Best Guest Spot — the place that earned you the most.
Tour Performance
A picture of your whole year as a timeline, so you can see your travelling rhythm at a glance — when you were on the road, when you were home, and how each stretch paid.
Each block on the chart is one stretch of work at one place, laid out left to right across the year:
- Orange is a guest spot you travelled to. Green is time at your home studio (it's labelled Solo instead if you work independently rather than out of a studio).
- The width of a block is how long that stay lasted — a one-day spot is a thin sliver, a month-long residency is a wide block.
- The height is how much you earned per day there, so a taller block means a better daily rate. The scale down the left side shows the range.
- The faint strip on top of a block is the studio's cut for that stay — the gap between what was charged per day and what actually reached you. (Solo stretches don't have one.)
Use the arrows at the top to move between years — the chart shows one year at a time and doesn't follow the period button at the top of Stats. Scroll it sideways to move through the year. Tap any block to jump straight down to that place's card in Location Performance below.
Location Performance
This is the core of the tab: a card for every place you worked in the period — your home studio, each guest spot, each independent location — so you can compare which ones were worth your while. Each card shows:
- The studio's picture and name. Tap it to open the studio's profile.
- A coloured pill with the studio type (Tattoo Studio, Piercing Shop, and so on), matching the colours used on profiles and the map.
- A badge in the corner marking the place as your Residency or a Guest Spot.
- The address.
- Bookings, earnings, and average earnings per booking for the period.
- How many sessions were finished there versus still waiting on you.
- For guest spots: a quick label (Hot spot / Moderate / Slow) comparing it to your other guest spots in the same period.
The earnings on each card are what actually reached you, after the cut the studio takes at that location. That's why the same booking can read €350 here and €500 elsewhere in the app — the €500 is the full price, the €350 is your share. There's more on that on the Revenue tab.
This is the quickest way to see which trips paid for themselves and which didn't.
Performance by Visit
Tap Details on any card to break a place down trip by trip. Each visit shows its dates, whether it's finished, ongoing, or still upcoming, and the bookings, earnings, and session count for that one stay, newest first. Your home studio shows its lifetime totals instead, since your residency is one continuous stay rather than separate visits.
Frequently asked questions
- I'm a tattoo artist who only works at one studio. Will this tab show anything?
Yes — your home studio appears on the Location Performance breakdown so you can see your full revenue split by where the work happened. But the two figures at the top will both show no guest spots.
- A guest spot trip cost me money once travel and lodging are factored in. Does this tab know?
No. Stats only sees what your sessions earned, not what the trip cost you — travel and accommodation aren't subtracted anywhere here.
- I see two cards for what looks like the same studio — one labelled Residency and one labelled Guest Spot. Why?
They're almost certainly two different physical studios that happen to share a name. Open both and check the address to confirm.
