APIs
Capability groups that map to tattoo products and operational flows.
Six capability groups organized around how tattooing actually works — not how a generic local business API thinks it should. Browse by domain, then head to docs.tattoo.dev for request schemas, response shapes, and SDKs.
Artists & studios
Structured profiles with style taxonomy, travel schedules, studio affiliations, and geo-indexed identity records. Supports solo artists, multi-chair studios, and guest-artist arrangements — not one forced paradigm.
Portfolios & media
Healed-work collections, style tagging, piece metadata, and portfolio organization built for discovery and trust conversion. Portfolios are a first-class object, not a photo array bolted onto a profile.
Discovery & listings
Search-ready records indexed by city, style, artist, and availability. Powers marketplace surfaces, map layers, and category views without you reverse-engineering the tattoo data model.
Booking & inquiry flows
Inquiry capture, deposit state transitions, availability windows, and consent tracking — modeled from how real studios qualify clients, not how a generic calendar app thinks they should.
Reviews & trust
Artist quality signals, studio credibility markers, verified healed work, and tattoo-specific social proof. Trust is a first-class field in the data model — not a star rating bolted on as an afterthought.
Messaging & automation
Webhook-driven workflow triggers, follow-up state, conversation handling, and operational signals. Connect booking events to your messaging layer with clean, structured payloads — not polling.

Portfolio intelligence
From texted images to governed portfolio signals.
The next portfolio lane turns real studio intake into structured creative context without bypassing ownership, consent, or review. Builders get clean projections; private media, raw messages, and worker credentials stay behind TattooAPI governance.
SMS and MMS portfolio intake
The messaging layer stays the visible inbox. TattooAPI receives the inbound media event, classifies it, and keeps raw phone data out of public docs and projections.
Media staged with source context
Portfolio media is staged with owner, artist, source, consent, and rights context before it can become a trusted creative proof object.
AI agents for the tattoo industry
Tattoo-native agents can understand style, placement, reference material, artist attribution, and portfolio context without treating tattoo work like generic image content.
Approved portfolio record
Human or governed review decides what graduates into approved portfolio records and what remains private, blocked, or needs owner clarification.
Current posture
Read-first public API. Owner-gated writes. Review before distribution.
The public surface can describe approved portfolios. Owner-scoped write routes and worker enrichment remain gated until identity, consent, rights, and review posture are explicit.
