You spent six hours on a sleeve. Your client posted a blurry mirror selfie of it to their close friends story and never tagged you. Social Perks fixes that.
Clients earn touch-up credits, flash discounts, and merch every time they post a properly-lit photo, a healed shot, or a review. You tattoo. They post. Your DMs fill with consults.
Free for 14 days, then $49/mo. Fair pricing for small operators. Cancel anytime.
Tattoo artists are 100% portfolio-driven. Every booked client found you on Instagram. The difference between a busy artist and a slow one is how often quality photos of your work end up on the explore page.
Two perk tracks per piece — one for fresh shots (24 hours post) and one for healed shots (2-4 weeks post). Healed-shot content is the most credible portfolio content you can have, and most clients forget. We remind them automatically.
Set different perks per style — fine line, traditional, blackwork, color realism. Bigger pieces unlock bigger perks. A full back-piece collector gets a different reward tier than a flash walk-in.
Native perk types matching how you operate: free touch-ups, flash-day discounts, gift card to your apparel line, priority booking windows for upcoming guest spots.
Spin up a temporary campaign for a guest spot or convention. Out-of-town clients post tagged content, earn perks usable at your home shop or via shipping.
Two-tier shop accounts — head artist gets full controls, apprentice gets their own campaigns and analytics. Builds their portfolio without dilution.
Real campaign templates pre-built for your workflow. Pick one, set a perk value, go live in five minutes.

No vertical produces better organic content than tattooing. Here's why:
Other businesses need their customers to film something. You give your customers permanent content that they will photograph for the rest of their lives. Every shower selfie is a portfolio post.
Tattoos are among the highest-identity-signal purchases anyone makes. Clients are deeply motivated to share, credit the artist, and engage with the post over time.
Tattoo content performs exceptionally well across IG and TikTok. Process Reels, reveal moments, and healed-shot reveals routinely break 100k views. One post can fill a booking calendar for months.
No technical setup. No long onboarding. Just five small steps and you're live.

The specific concerns we hear from tattoo artists before they start.
They post some, not most, and rarely with good lighting or your tag in the right spot. Structured perks raise the share rate from ~25% to ~70% and improve photo quality measurably. The healed-shot capture alone is worth it.
Private-account posts still count if tagged correctly — we verify via the platform API. Perk gets issued, you just don't get the public reach. Many shops still want them in the program for retention.
Yes — the program is opt-in and you control the signup link. Many artists only offer it to repeat collectors, not walk-ins.
Yes. Big multi-session pieces have a per-session campaign and a big 'completion' campaign that unlocks a larger reward when finished and shared.
Auto-injected on every post. Both platforms require it now and we handle the wording per platform.
No — apprentices have their own campaigns and you can route shop tag and apprentice tag separately. Their portfolio grows under their own name on your shop's roof.
Yes. The signup link goes in your booking confirmation email, your IG bio, or the consent form clients sign before the session.
