Your client opens your site on their phone at midnight. The homepage loads in under a second — dark background, your best blackwork piece filling the screen, filterable by style before they scroll. They tap 'Realism,' see twelve pieces that match the vibe they want, then click through to your artist bio. Two taps later they're booking a consultation and paying a deposit. No DMs. No phone tag. No algorithm deciding whether your work gets seen today. Your studio website isn't a digital business card. It's the only platform you own where high-res tattoo photography doesn't get compressed into oblivion, where booking doesn't depend on Instagram's uptime, and where each artist in your shop gets their own portfolio page with their own style filters. When your account goes down or reach drops 60% overnight, your pipeline stays intact because your best clients already know where to book.

Veelgestelde vragen
How much does a tattoo studio website cost?
Custom tattoo studio websites start at $6,000 for a single-artist site with portfolio, booking, and deposit collection. Multi-artist studios with individual profiles, flash sales, and advanced booking typically run $10,000–$16,000. The final price depends on the number of artists, gallery size, and integration complexity.
Can I update my portfolio without a developer?
Yes. We build on a headless CMS like Sanity, so you can upload new photos, tag them by style, and publish straight from your phone or laptop. No code required. The CMS handles image optimization automatically, so your high-res shots load fast without any manual resizing.
Will my tattoo website work as a booking system?
Absolutely. We integrate calendar-based booking where clients select an artist, pick a time slot, fill out a consultation form, and pay a deposit. Automated email and SMS reminders go out before each appointment. It replaces DM-based booking entirely and cuts no-shows significantly.
How do you make tattoo photos load fast on mobile?
We use next-gen image formats (WebP/AVIF), lazy loading, responsive sizing, and CDN edge caching through Cloudinary and Vercel. A gallery with 500+ photos can still hit sub-2-second load times on mobile. Your portfolio stays sharp without sacrificing speed.
Can each artist have their own portfolio page?
Yes. Every artist gets a dedicated profile with their bio, specialties, social links, individual portfolio filtered by style, and a direct booking link. Clients land on the artist that matches what they want without scrolling through unrelated work. Each page also ranks independently in search — a real SEO advantage for multi-artist studios.
What if I already have a website on Squarespace or Wix?
We migrate your content, portfolio images, and SEO equity to the new platform and set up 301 redirects so you don't lose your Google rankings. Most studios see faster load times, a better mobile experience, and higher booking rates within the first month after launch.
