Referral Program
Share
the ink.
Every tattoo tells a story. When someone asks “who did that?” — share your link and earn credit for your next ink.
For Clients
Real Tattoo
credit.
Refer a friend. Credit turns on only after they finish a qualifying first appointment and payment clears.
Share immediately. Earn only on real completed work.
Get Your Link
Every client gets a referral link right away. Share it anywhere people ask who did your tattoo.
Friend Starts
When a friend signs up through your link, the referral is tracked — but nothing posts yet.
Friend Books
A qualifying booking turns the referral into pending credit once a real deposit lands.
Credit Posts
Credit becomes available after the first appointment is completed and the payment clears cleanly.
For Artists
Refer an
artist.
If you refer an artist who completes a qualifying paid booking, your INK'D platform fee drops by 0.2%.

Signups alone do not count; the first booking has to clear.
How it
pays out.
Artist-referral rewards are tied to completed, paid first bookings. That keeps the ladder honest and stops fee-free gaming.
How to get credit
Onboarded
Stripe onboarding and a live profile are both complete.
Booked
Your referral lands a qualifying first paid booking with a real client.
Cleared
The appointment finishes and payment clears without refund or dispute.
