QR Codes for Tattoo Studios
Your portfolio in their pocket before they leave the counter.
Tattoo clients choose artists by portfolio and book by DM - a clumsy funnel for something this permanent. QR codes tighten every step: the shop-window code opens the artists' portfolios for evening window-shoppers, the flash-sheet code at conventions opens your books, and the aftercare card's code opens healing instructions with photos of what's normal at day 3 versus what needs attention. Since it's all dynamic, an artist who moves shops or opens their books seasonally just edits where their code lands.
Why use a dynamic QR code for this
Window shoppers become consults
The window code shows portfolios after hours - when most tattoo research actually happens.
Convention flash that books
A code on the flash sheet opens your booking or deposit page while the con crowd is hyped.
Aftercare that can't be lost
The card code opens illustrated healing guides - fewer worried DMs, better healed work, better photos for the portfolio.

FAQ
Can each artist have their own code?
Yes - one code per artist on the window and their station. Scan counts show whose work pulls the walk-in interest, and each artist controls their own destination.
What about consent and health forms?
A front-desk code can open your digital consent form so clients complete it while waiting - point it at whatever form tool your studio already uses.
Can I change where the QR code points after printing?
Yes - with a dynamic QR code. It encodes a short redirect link, so you can update the destination anytime from your dashboard and every printed copy instantly points to the new URL. Static codes encode the destination directly and can't be changed.
Do these QR codes expire?
No. Static QR codes are free forever and never expire - they encode your destination directly and don't depend on our servers. Dynamic codes keep working as long as your account is active, and you can pause or re-point them whenever you like.
Can I track how many people scan it?
Yes. Dynamic QR codes come with real-time scan analytics: total scans plus device, location, and time-of-day breakdowns, so you can see exactly which placement is working. Scan tracking is part of the Pro plan.
Is there a watermark on the QR code?
No. Every QR code you create - free or paid - is watermark-free and downloadable as a crisp PNG or scalable SVG, ready for print at any size.
Do I need an app to scan the code?
No. Every modern iPhone and Android camera scans QR codes natively - just point the camera at the code and tap the link that appears. No special app required.
