A strong tattoo portfolio can speak for itself — but a polished, professional booking profile takes you one step further. Think of it as your digital front desk: it greets potential clients, shows off your style, and makes it easy for them to book without sending you a single DM.
That's where customizable profiles come in. With platforms like InkDesk, your link in bio becomes more than a link — it becomes your brand online. Here's how to make it work for you.
Why Your Tattoo Profile (and Link in Bio) Matter
For most artists, social media is where new clients first discover their work. But when someone's ready to book, they shouldn't have to scroll through stories, hunt for a highlight, or send you a vague “how much for this?” message.
Your profile — your link in bio — is where curiosity turns into commitment. It gives clients everything they need: your vibe, your availability, and your booking form, all in one clean spot. And when you can control how it looks, you control the impression it leaves.
What to Include in a Booking-Ready Profile
Here's what to focus on when setting up your artist profile or link in bio:
- A clean display name and URL.
Keep your display name consistent with your social handles. Then personalize your profile URL (for example: inkde.sk/morganink). A clean link is easier to share — and easier for clients to remember. - A short, clear tagline.
Use a few words that capture your style or what you're known for — “black & grey realism,” “bold color work,” or “fine line botanicals.” Clients appreciate clarity and confidence. - A strong photo and background.
Your profile image and background are your digital shopfront. Choose visuals that reflect your vibe — clean, bold, minimal, or moody. With InkDesk, you can tweak fonts, colors, and layouts as much as you want, until it feels like you. - Links that make your life easier.
Add buttons for your booking form, waitlist, FAQs, or social links so clients can find everything in one place. Got a guest spot coming up or a special flash event? Add that too!

Setting It Up in InkDesk
Once you've mapped out what you want on your profile, bringing it to life in InkDesk is super easy.
Head to your Profile tab and start customizing: add your artist name, tagline, and profile photo — this is your space to show off your style. From there, you can pick your background, tweak colors and fonts to match your vibe, and drop in buttons for your booking form, FAQ, waitlist, or anything else you want clients to see first.
When it's ready, hit Publish, copy your unique link, and pop it into your Instagram or TikTok bio. That's it — your new booking profile is live and working for you 24/7.
The Power of a Professional First Impression
Your InkDesk profile isn't just another page online — it's your digital handshake. A clean, cohesive, and personalized profile tells potential clients right away that you're professional, organized, and serious about your craft before they ever message you.
When a client lands on your link in bio and instantly sees your work, bio, and clear next step (“Book Here”), it feels effortless. That's what keeps people from bouncing to another artist's page.
In a world where everyone's competing for attention, that clarity gives you an edge.
Say Goodbye to “DM for Bookings”
One of the easiest ways to reclaim your time? Stop managing bookings through your DMs.
When you share your InkDesk profile as your link in bio, add a note like “No DMs — use the link to book.” It saves you hours of back-and-forth, while giving clients a professional, organized way to reach you.
And since you can link multiple booking forms (for flash days, guest spots, or ongoing projects), your link in bio becomes the only link you'll ever need.
