Our story

Built for the love of great ink

InkedUp started with a conversation in County Tyrone in 2026 — Kel was mid-session in the chair with Liam, and between the buzz of the machine they started talking about how broken the whole booking experience was. By the end of the appointment, the idea was decided.

Why we built this

Getting a tattoo is one of the most personal decisions you can make. But finding the right artist — someone whose style matches your vision, who has availability, and who you can actually trust — has always been a frustrating, fragmented process. Instagram DMs, waiting lists with no updates, booking systems buried in link trees.

We set out to fix that. InkedUp puts verified artists, their portfolios, their availability, and their booking flow all in one place — so you can spend less time searching and more time looking forward to your appointment.
