Federation of UK Tattooists

A cleaner directory for clients. Better prices for studios.

The Federation exists for two simple reasons: clients struggle to find the right studio because public links are often outdated or buried, and studios lose money to overpriced consumables. We’re building practical tools that improve both sides: a directory people can trust, and studio benefits that reduce operating costs.

We’re not a regulator. We’re builder-led and focused on accuracy, visibility, and studio value.

Why we exist

Two problems we’re fixing.

For clients

Broken links waste time.

Search results are full of outdated websites, dead Facebook pages, duplicated accounts, and AI summaries that paste the wrong thing. We maintain a directory clients can trust — and we’ll let collectors subscribe to receive your latest work by email.

For studios

Consumables cost too much.

Many supply companies are run by corporate conglomerates and priced to satisfy shareholders. We’re building a studio-first supply channel focused on quality consumables at fair, discounted prices.

What’s next

Artists, attribution, and subscriptions.

Studios are the foundation, but artists are the future. We’re improving artist links, verification signals, and email subscriptions so collectors can see new work without fighting the algorithm.
