Our method

6 years in the tattoo industry only

We don't spread across niches: we know how tattoo ads get moderated, how people choose an artist, and why a portfolio beats a catalog.

Stability over one-off spikes

We build bookings that hold month to month, not a single revenue spike after launch.

2–3 targeted inquiries a day instead of 30 random ones

We don't flood your DMs with dead-end requests to look busy. You get people who come for your style and don't haggle.

No unnecessary red tape

We don't create process where it isn't needed and don't hand out pointless tasks. Two calls a month and you know everything that matters.

Clear, readable reporting

You see what was spent, how many inquiries came in and what each one cost — no magic, no guesswork.

Transparent pricing

Managing one channel starts at €700/month, with ad spend budgeted separately. Combining channels is quoted on a call.

Creatives you won't cringe at

Six years in, we've found the ad formats that actually bring clients to tattoo artists. Bonus: our artists aren't embarrassed by how they look in their own ads.

Examples are in the “Creo” highlight on Instagram
  • Motion design

    Tattoos come alive in the frame — that's what stops the scroll.

  • Dynamic cuts

    Edited to the beat so people watch to the end.

  • A mix of both

    Motion and pace combined where it makes the work hit harder.

  • Sound design

    Tracks and cuts chosen for the artist's style, not music slapped on top.

  • Quality source material only

    No blurry DM photos — we work with material that's worth showing.

What clients say

I value Eldar's work very highly. He's always fully involved, always puts his heart into his projects. Even in a crisis he's always in touch and never leaves you alone with a problem.
@kotova.artBerlin, Germany
From day one my inquiries, followers and clients literally multiplied. I like that Eldar pushes me to raise my prices and to manage my time and energy properly.
@anywaykattLondon, UK
Working with Eldar is easy. There's a task — we find a solution. What matters most to me is that he's genuinely invested: sometimes it feels like he cares about the result even more than I do.
@mitatinkRussia → Germany → USA
The quality of requests changed — people come specifically for my art. And there's none of that pile of pointless DMs that only eat time and never turn into clients.
@zozutattooNew York, USA
We started practically from zero. You could say everything I have now is the result of our work together.
@pan.tattooistAmsterdam, Netherlands
At the start we went from 15 sessions a month to 30, then to 50–60. We'd planned to expand the studio by winter 2027 but managed it by autumn 2026.

FAQ

Do tattoo ads actually get approved by Meta and Google?

Yes, with the right creative and landing page framing. We account for platform policy on tattoo-related content when setting up campaigns.

How soon do the first inquiries show up?

If you were already getting bookings from your own content, first inquiries usually show up around week 2. Starting from zero, expect around week 3. Google is usually faster — first inquiries within 1–2 weeks.

How much does working with you cost?

Managing one channel starts at €700/month — that's our work (strategy, creatives, running campaigns, reporting). The ad spend itself on Meta or Google is budgeted separately. Combining several channels is quoted individually on a call. For Google Ads we also offer pay-per-inquiry: you put down a deposit, and it's drawn down as inquiries come in.

What's the minimum ad budget?

It depends on your city and channel mix — we discuss it after your application, and we'll give you a number based on your booking goals.

How do I see the results?

Transparently: you see what was spent, how many inquiries came in and what each one cost. Plus two calls a month where we go through the numbers and adjust the strategy.

Do you only work with Russian-speaking artists?

No — the site and application form work in Russian and English, and we take on artists and studios from different countries.

Do you work with studios or only with individual artists?

Both. Google works especially well for studios — people in your area are looking for an artist right now. Example: Black Ink Tattoo in Trier went from 15 to 50–60 sessions a month within a year.
