Artist first. Ink after.
Artist portfolios, consultation schedules, aftercare content, hygiene signage and walk-in availability for tattoo studios.
Tattoo studios sell the artist. Signage is the first sample of the artist's work.
A tattoo studio's differentiator is the artist — style, specialism, lineage, portfolio. Printed flash-sheets and faded wall-photos undermine studios whose online Instagram presence is current and vibrant. Hangar.Media surfaces per-artist portfolio walls (Instagram-consent-managed), consultation-schedule signage, aftercare-content loops for new tattoos, hygiene and sterilisation-protocol signage, and walk-in availability for studios running first-come-first-served. Multi-artist studios support per-artist brand identity while maintaining studio brand consistency.
Built for how tattoo studios actually run.
The capabilities that matter in this sector — concrete, specific, and backed by the integrations your team already uses.
Sam does traditional. Anna does fine-line. Rob does realism.
Reception and waiting-area screens rotate per-artist portfolio walls — each artist's specialism showcased via their own Instagram content (consent-managed). New clients choose an artist whose style matches their concept; returning clients see their artist's latest work. Studios with strong social-media presence benefit directly from converting online-following to walk-in bookings.
New clients walk in already wanting the artist whose style they saw on Instagram.
- Per-artist Instagram-feed integration with consent
- Style-led portfolio rotation (traditional, fine-line, realism, Japanese, black-work)
- Taggbox multi-platform aggregation (Instagram + Pinterest)
- Flash-sheet digital showcase replacing faded wall-prints
Tuesday custom-work consultation. Thursday back-piece design.
Reception screens surface the week's consultation schedule (alias-only), each artist's consultation-availability for custom-work, walk-in-friendly slots for small-flash-work, and deposit-and-booking guidance for new clients starting a custom piece. Clients committing to custom-work see the scheduling-reality upfront — reduces no-show rate for consultations.
Custom-work clients understand the scheduling. Consultation no-shows drop.
- Booking-system integration for consultation and tattoo-session scheduling
- Alias-only consultation-schedule display
- Walk-in-friendly slot indication for flash-work clients
- Deposit-and-booking-process guidance for new-to-custom-work clients
First 48 hours. Wash gently. No soaking.
Exit-area and reception screens run aftercare-content loops for clients leaving with new work — first-48-hours care, healing-period expectations (first 2-4 weeks), signs-of-infection reminders, when-to-contact-the-studio triggers. Reduces post-tattoo care issues and supports good-healing outcomes that benefit the artist's portfolio.
Clients leave knowing how to care for the work. Healing outcomes improve.
- Aftercare content library (first 48hr, healing-period, long-term care)
- Signs-of-infection and when-to-contact-studio reminders
- QR-overlay for take-home aftercare-guide download
- Post-heal photo submission prompts for portfolio continuation
Single-use equipment. Sterilisation protocols. Inspection-ready.
Studio-wall and reception screens surface hygiene-protocol signage — single-use equipment confirmation, autoclave-sterilisation cycle evidence, blood-borne pathogen protocol, licensed-premises information. Client-confidence messaging reduces walk-in-hesitation. Local-authority environmental-health inspections find signage-compliance ready to audit.
Walk-in clients see the hygiene before committing. Inspectors find compliance without the scramble.
- Single-use equipment and sterilisation-protocol signage
- Blood-borne pathogen protocol and licensing-information display
- Licensed-premises information (local-authority tattooist licence)
- Per-screen signage audit-log for environmental-health inspection
Walk-ins welcome. Current availability.
Storefront and reception screens surface walk-in-friendly status for studios running first-come-first-served and flash-work sessions — which artists are free, approximate waiting-time, flash-sheet pricing, available-today small-piece options. Saturdays and holiday-weeks see walk-in-conversion climb when availability is visible from the street.
Saturday walk-by converts to a Saturday-afternoon tattoo. Street visibility matters.
- Live artist-availability display
- Walk-in-friendly session indication per-artist
- Flash-sheet digital showcase with pricing
- Small-piece / quick-ink availability for walk-in conversion

Which tattoo-studio booking systems do you integrate with?
Squarespace Appointments (common in independent studios), Fresha, Inkbook, Square Appointments and custom artist-managed scheduling. We pull consultation and tattoo-session data (alias-only by default), artist-assignment and style-specialism tagging. Many tattoo studios still run artist-managed paper or personal-calendar scheduling — our walk-in-queue module supports these studios without requiring migration.
How does per-artist Instagram portfolio sync work?
Each artist's Instagram account connects via consent-managed integration. The artist retains control over their portfolio content; studio moderation workflow handles brand-safety. Taggbox integration aggregates Instagram + Pinterest for broader style-reach. Artists can withdraw consent at any time and their portfolio content drops from studio screens immediately.
Can we handle hygiene-protocol signage for regulator inspection?
Yes. Hygiene-protocol content displays single-use-equipment confirmation, autoclave-sterilisation cycles, blood-borne pathogen protocol and local-authority tattooist-licence information across studio-wall and reception screens. Per-screen signage audit-log captures every content-display for environmental-health inspection evidence. UK and US local-authority inspection readiness built in.
Pricing for a tattoo studio?
£5 per screen per month. A single-artist studio with 2 screens pays £10 per month. A 5-artist studio with 4 screens pays £20 per month. A 10-studio chain with 6 screens per studio pays £300 per month. All-in. No tattoo-sector or consent-managed-features premium.
