How to make a website for a tattoo studio

Before booking a tattoo, people scroll through an artist's healed work, check that the studio uses new needles and sealed ink, and ask roughly what a palm-sized piece costs. A website with your own portfolio, your hygiene steps and aftercare notes answers that and brings them to your WhatsApp with their idea.

What people look for on a tattoo studio website

Photos of tattoos your own artists made, fresh and healed, by style: fine line, script, blackwork, colour, cover-ups
Each artist's name and the styles they do
Hygiene steps: single-use needles, sealed ink caps, gloves, how the station is cleaned between clients
How pricing works: a minimum charge, size-based or per-session rates, and the deposit for custom designs
Your rule on age and consent, and that you may refuse work on anyone who is unwell or under the influence
Aftercare instructions to read before and after the session
Timings, and whether walk-ins are taken or it is by appointment only

The pages your website needs

Home: One line on the studio's styles, a few portfolio photos, the locality and a WhatsApp button to send a tattoo idea
Portfolio: Your artists' own work grouped by style, with healed photos where you have them
Artists: Each artist with name, years tattooing and the styles they prefer
Prices and hygiene: The minimum charge, how size and detail change the price, the deposit for custom designs, your hygiene steps and age rules
Aftercare and contact: Aftercare steps, timings, address, landmark, phone, WhatsApp and a Google Maps button

Sample words for your home page

Fine line, script and blackwork tattoos in Koramangala, Bengaluru

Custom designs by our two artists, with single-use needles and sealed ink for every client. Send your idea on WhatsApp.

Inkwell Studio was started by Rohan D'Souza in 2018. Every design is drawn for the client and shown before we begin. We open a new needle pack and fresh ink caps in front of you, and we tattoo adults only, with ID checked at the counter.

Use these as a starting point and write them in your own words: AppCub can rewrite them for you in the chat.

How to make it with AppCub, step by step

Decide the pages. Most tattoo studio websites need these pages: Home, Portfolio, Artists, Prices and hygiene, Aftercare and contact.
Describe it to AppCub. Paste the request below, with your own name, address, prices and timings.
Check the plan. AppCub lists the pages and what goes on each. Ask for changes until it is right; seeing the plan is free.
Add your details and photos. Replace every sample with your real details, attach your own photos, and check each page on the phone and computer preview.
Publish and share. Choose your address (your-name.sites.appcub.ai), put the website live and share the link on WhatsApp.

Copy this request, change the details to match your tattoo studio, and paste it into AppCub:

Single-use needles, sealed ink, adults only with ID. Open 12 PM to 9 PM, closed Monday, appointments preferred. WhatsApp 98XXXXXXXX. Use my portfolio photos. Black and red colours.

Tips for a tattoo studio website

Show only tattoos your own artists made, and say which artist did each one; reposting others' work misleads clients.
Ask clients before posting a photo of their tattoo, and crop out faces and identifying marks unless they agree.
Add healed photos, not only fresh ones; people want to see how the lines settle.
Write your hygiene steps plainly, as you would explain them at the chair.
State your age and consent rule and check the law in your state yourself; don't promise to tattoo anyone who asks.
Add the studio to Google Maps with a free Google Business Profile and link the website there.

Good to know

Clients can't send reference images, book a slot or pay a deposit on the website; they message you on WhatsApp and send their references there. To manage bookings, deposits, consent notes and touch-ups, a tattoo studio app is the better fit.
The pages are written in English. You can talk to AppCub in English, Hindi or Hinglish.
A website has no forms, bookings, payments or logins: visitors reach you on WhatsApp, by phone or on Google Maps.
Every page carries a small “Made with AppCub” badge and a “Report this site” link.

Questions

What should a tattoo studio website show first?

Your own artists' work, sorted by style, with the artist's name on each. Clients decide on the portfolio before they look at anything else.

Should a tattoo studio list prices?

A minimum charge and a range for small pieces help people plan. Say that larger or custom work is quoted after you see the idea and placement.

How do clients send tattoo reference images?

On WhatsApp, from the button on every page. The website has no upload form, so references come straight to your chat.

Should I write about hygiene on my website?

Yes. Explain single-use needles, sealed ink, gloves and how you clean the station; it is one of the first things careful clients look for.

Should my website mention age rules?

Yes, say who you tattoo and that ID may be checked. Check the rules that apply in your state and follow them.

Will people find my tattoo studio on Google?

The pages are made so Google can read them, with your address and timings in the format search engines use. Where they appear is Google's decision.
