Clear answers before the next step.
The short version of how planning, matching, AI assistance, privacy, and artist control work across InkPlace.
Customers
Do I need to know my tattoo style first?
No. Start with the subject, feeling, references, or story. TaCo can help identify useful style language while leaving the final recommendation to an artist.
When does an artist see my idea?
Your project begins private. You review the brief, references, visibility, and personal-information settings before explicitly publishing a request.
Does InkPlace guarantee a price?
No. Proposals can include an estimate range, but the final price may depend on scale, placement, detail, sessions, consultation, and the artist’s policies.
Can I find an artist in my city today?
Private planning is open, while artist discovery and project posting open city by city after enough approved local supply is ready. Each city page shows its current status.
How does customer AI pricing work?
AI usage is purchased once in $5, $10, $20, or $50 packages. The larger packages include 10%, 20%, or 30% bonus usage. Balances do not expire, and chat and inspiration images draw from the same balance.
Artists
Is InkPlace a bidding platform?
No. Matching and proposals emphasize artistic compatibility, relevant work, experience, availability, location, and approach—not who submits the lowest number.
Does TaCo send proposals for me?
No. TaCo may help prepare a draft, but the artist reviews the project, selects relevant portfolio work, approves the language, and sends the proposal.
Who controls portfolio classifications?
The artist does. InkPlace may suggest style or subject tags, but they must be reviewed and approved before publishing.
What does Artist Pro cost?
Artists can build a private profile for free. Artist Pro is $20 per month and is required to publish into discovery, receive new opportunities, and send proposals unless an active studio subscription covers the artist.
How are studio seats priced?
Studio access is $40 per month for up to three active artists. Each $10 monthly capacity block adds two seats, and pending artist invitations reserve capacity.
TaCo and trust
Is TaCo the name of the platform?
InkPlace is the platform. TaCo—short for Tattoo Concierge—is the AI assistant within InkPlace.
Are TaCo concepts tattoo-ready designs?
No. They are inspiration and communication references. The tattoo artist creates and technically adapts the final design.
How are artists recommended?
InkPlace first checks eligibility such as preferences, geography, availability, and project constraints, then explains relevant fit in plain language. Raw internal scores are not shown.
