About
At Permanent Markings, we understand the challenges of finding the perfect tattoo artist, especially one near you. Traditional methods often fall short, making it difficult to locate specialized artists or unconventional tattoo styles. The reliance on platforms like Instagram can be limiting, burying local masters under unrelated search results or premium account requirements. Existing artist lists often restrict the number of featured artists due to membership fees or limited sign-up initiatives. That's why we've stepped in to provide a comprehensive list of talented tattoo artists and shops in your area. With us, finding the ideal tattoo artist and nearby tattoo shops is a hassle-free experience.
What sets us apart is our proactive approach to sourcing and vetting tattoo artists, ensuring their credibility before inclusion in our carefully curated list. Our primary objective is to establish the most extensive global directory of reputable tattoo artists, benefitting both seekers and providers alike. By connecting individuals with their ideal tattoo artist, we facilitate access to unmatched artistic expertise for their projects. Simultaneously, we assist artists in reaching a broader clientele base that may have otherwise remained undiscovered. Not to mention, we're always on the lookout for exceptional artists to cater to our own tattoo needs. (Because we love getting inked too!)
If you wish to contribute or endorse an artist not yet featured on our platform, kindly utilize the submission option in the header bar. Your suggested artist will undergo our thorough review process for potential inclusion in our comprehensive list. Alternatively, should you come across any inaccuracies or suspicious profiles, please report them to us. We are committed to rectifying any discrepancies and ensuring the integrity of our listings. Otherwise, make the most of this resource to discover a skilled artist capable of bringing your dream tattoo to life!
