The ink project
Free tattoos. Funded by social media.
The Ink Project is all about making tattoos a little more accessible and turning the thing I already love doing into something that gives back and inspires.
Through free tattoos and social media, I want to create a space where you can get creative, celebrate the things you love, and maybe finally get that tattoo you've been thinking about forever.
Basically: social media pays for the session, you get your dream tattoo.
Your tattoo becomes content, the content helps support my work, and that support gets turned into more opportunities for people to get tattooed.
Art becomes content. Content becomes opportunity. And you get to leave with a tattoo that feels like you.

Goals
For The Ink Project to come to life, we’ve got a few big goals to hit, and you’re the key to making it happen! Every follow, share, and comment helps turn this dream into reality, one tattoo at a time.
FIRST. Grow the Community
Reach 10K TikTok followers and 100K interactions to qualify for TikTok’s Creator Fund, allowing us to start monetizing content and funding the first round of free tattoos.
sECOND. Launch the first mini session event
Host the first Mini Session Day and Epic Session
tHIRD. Build momentum
Transform every tattoo session into story-driven content that grows the community and fuels the next round of free tattoos.
About the Ink Project
Mini Sessions are quick 1- 2 hour appointments, often built around a fun theme. With up to 8 or 9 winners in a single day, these sessions are perfect for smaller tattoos and give the most chances to win. Sometimes, getting a spot is as simple as being the first to claim an open slot; other times, it’s a raffle where names are pulled at random.
​​
​
Epic Sessions are 4-hour to full-day experiences dedicated to bringing someone’s dream tattoo to life. These sessions go deeper; not only will I be creating a large, personalized tattoo, but I’ll also interview the client about its meaning and how it connects to their identity and self-expression. Because Epic Sessions are more intensive, the selection process can vary. At times, I’ll handpick submissions that fit a specific theme; other times, it might be a first-come, first-served claim.
Types of Tattoo Sessions

​Why I created The Ink Project​
​
Tattoos can be expensive, and when money is tight, self-expression is often one of the first things to get pushed aside. The Ink Project is about changing that.
​
I want to work with cool people, make cool tattoos, hear their stories, and give people the opportunity to get something they love when cost might otherwise keep them from it.
​
You get the tattoo, I get to make cool art, social media helps fund the next one aaand, let's be honest, it's pretty damn good marketing too.
Rules and Additional deetz
1. Respect and Inclusivity
The Ink Project is a safe space for everyone, especially LGBTQ+ individuals, women, and marginalized communities. Any form of discrimination, harassment, or disrespect will not be tolerated.
​
2. Eligibility
You must be 18 years or older to receive a tattoo. Valid ID is required at the time of the appointment.
​
3. Design Submissions
All tattoo ideas must align with my artistic style and themes. Realism or offensive imagery may not be accepted. All designs will be original — I will not tattoo copies of another artist’s work. The goal of The Ink Project is to create one-of-a-kind art catered to the person getting the tattoo.
​
4. Selection Process
There are two main ways to win a tattoo spot:
– Raffle Entry: Winners are chosen at random from eligible submissions.
– First Come, First Serve: Occasionally, tattoo spots are given to the first person to claim them when the announcement drops.
​
5. Session Types
– Mini Ink Sessions: Smaller 1–2 hour pieces, often themed. More winners, faster pace, and great for newcomers.
– Epic Ink Sessions: Larger, 4-hour to full-day sessions for dream tattoos. These are selected based on design fit and artistic vision.
​
6. Screening Process for Epic Sessions
Some Epic Sessions will be open entry, while others may require design approval. Since these tattoos are larger and more complex, I’ll screen submissions to ensure they fit my style and storytelling approach.
​
7. Consent and Release
All clients must sign a consent form and a content release form before the tattoo begins. This allows me to share and monetize the experience through video and social content.
​
8. Attendance and Punctuality
If selected, you must arrive on time for your session. No-shows or late arrivals may forfeit their spot.
​
9. Filming and Privacy
Tattoo sessions will be recorded for social media content. I will always respect your comfort level during filming, but participation in filming is required as part of the free tattoo exchange.
​
10. Positive Vibes Only
This project is about art, connection, and community. Come with good energy, respect for the process, and excitement to be part of something creative and meaningful.
