How to Get a Free Tattoo Portfolio Website Up and Running Today

A free tattoo portfolio website, in Tattoo Studio Pro help, is one page. The ZIP is $0. Putting that page on portfolio.ink is a hosting bill, unless your subscription already includes hosting.

Instagram is where a lot of clients find the work. It is a poor place to leave your city, your prices, and a link you still control next year. The slug on this post says 10 minutes. Help does not time the build, and neither did this pass.

What the free portfolio includes

Help describes a single page with six sections: a hero, about, the gallery, aftercare, contact, and a footer. You edit it in an admin panel. Dark and light themes are in there, plus 10 style presets, 22 heading fonts, and 6 body fonts. You do not write HTML.

The product page says there is no image limit. Help does not give a cap either. You still resize photos yourself. Help’s upload notes say to compress before you upload. The editor does not claim to do that for you.

Two ways out of the editor. Download a ZIP and host the files wherever you want. Or publish to a portfolio.ink address. The download is the $0 path. Publishing that same page on portfolio.ink uses Tattoo Studio Pro hosting.

Subscribers claim hosting and pay nothing extra for it. Without a subscription, help prices that publish line at $10 a month or $100 a year. The product page also names Netlify and GitHub Pages as ZIP upload targets. Their price cards were not opened for this post.

Contact can list email, phone, hours, and the social links you already use. A form on that page needs a handler, and help tells you how to configure it. Subscribers can connect their Tattoo Studio Pro booking form. If the exported site uses that form or the connected portfolio, those features load live from Tattoo Studio Pro and need an internet connection.

Cloud save needs a free Tattoo Studio Pro account. Until you sign in, help says the editor keeps the draft in that browser. The longer setup is on the free tattoo portfolio page.

A full site, if one page is too small

The Artist template is $99 one-time. The Studio template is $199 one-time. Help puts 7 pages on each: Home, About, Portfolio, Services, Aftercare, Policies, and Contact. Booking sits outside those seven. You switch it on and paste an embed.

You can build before you buy. A subscriber publishes that paid template without a separate license, after claiming the included website. A ZIP of the Artist or Studio template still needs a license. The free portfolio ZIP above is a different file.

Without a subscription, the license is what lets you publish, and publish still needs hosting at $10 a month or $100 a year. That card is not the done-for-you renewal. Setup, if someone else should build the $99 or $199 site, is $799 or $999 one-time. The first year of hosting is included, then $100 a year unless your subscription includes hosting. The split is on DIY or done-for-you.

The free HTML download is a third file: $0, 11 pages, a contact form, and no booking page.

What to put in the gallery is covered on tattoo artist portfolio. A wider look at the page itself is on digital tattoo portfolio.

FAQs

Is the free tattoo portfolio $0?

The template and the ZIP are $0. Hosting on portfolio.ink is included with a Tattoo Studio Pro subscription. Otherwise hosting is $10 a month or $100 a year.

Do I need to buy a domain name?

No, for a portfolio.ink address. That hostname comes with hosting, and hosting is the bill above. A name you buy at a registrar is a separate charge. The registrar still bills you for it.

What is the difference between the free portfolio and the $99 site?

The free portfolio is one page. The Artist template is $99 one-time. Help lists 7 pages: Home, About, Portfolio, Services, Aftercare, Policies, and Contact. Booking is a separate switch and an embed slot. The Studio template is $199 one-time and adds a team page.

Can I download the portfolio later?

Yes. Help has a ZIP download. That is the copy you can move to another host. It is not the paid Artist or Studio ZIP, which still needs a license.

Does a subscription change publishing?

A subscriber claims the included website and can publish a paid template without a separate license. Hosting is included. The free portfolio ZIP does not use that paid-template license.

Can clients book from the free page?

Subscribers can show a booking form with the portfolio, from the app. The template file is not a deposit page, and it does not file a consent form. Card payments for the studio go through the studio’s Stripe account.
