vs. Website builders
Your site. Your code. No lock-in.
Squarespace charges $192-480/year and your site vanishes if you stop paying. Our template is $199. You own the files. Host it anywhere, take it with you.
For studios
The studio down the street already has one.
When someone Googles "tattoo shop near me," either your studio shows up or theirs does. We build websites that get tattoo shops ranking on Google, showcase every artist, and turn searches into walk-ins.
The problem
Searches turn into walk-ins.

Comparison
Why not just use a website builder?
How a purpose-built tattoo studio website compares to the alternatives.
vs. Hiring a designer
$199 vs. $3,000 and two months.
A basic custom design for a multi-artist studio easily runs $3,000+. Our template gets you the same professional result at a fraction of the price.
vs. Free templates
Look like a real business.
Generic templates don't handle multi-artist portfolios, service listings, or tattoo-specific content. Ours was built for exactly this.
vs. DIY coding
Tattoo clients, not CSS.
You could hire someone to build it from scratch or learn to code yourself. Or you could be live this weekend and spend your time tattooing.
FAQ
Common questions.
Can each artist have their own profile page?
Yes. The Studio Template supports individual artist profiles with their own bio, portfolio gallery, and specialties. Each artist gets showcased properly so clients can browse your whole team.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. The template has a visual admin panel for updating everything. Add artists, change content, swap images. No code required. If you'd rather not touch it at all, the $999 done-for-you setup handles everything.
Can I add a booking calendar or deposit collection?
The template includes contact forms for inquiries. You can embed booking tools like Calendly or link to your existing system. For full booking and deposit integration, our custom website option includes that built in.
What about hosting?
Hit publish from your template and your site goes live instantly. Every template purchase includes 3 months free hosting. After that, hosting is $10/month with SSL, CDN, email forwarding, custom domain connection, and uptime monitoring. Done-for-you setup and custom websites include hosting as part of the package.
Can I upgrade from template to custom later?
Yes. Many studios start with the template and upgrade to custom when they are ready. Your purchase always counts as credit toward the next step, so nothing you spend is wasted. Your content and images transfer over too.
I'm a solo artist. Is this the right page for me?
These options are designed for multi-artist studios. If you are looking for a personal portfolio or website as a solo artist, check out our artist website solutions starting at free.
