Apply for Editorial Consideration

We review every submission for artistic quality, originality, and story potential. Accepted artists, studios, and brands are invited to move forward with the feature option that best fits their goals. Limited spots are approved each month based on our editorial calendar.

Who We Feature

Artists, Studios & Brands
With A Point Of View

Our coverage is designed for voices that are actively contributing to tattoo culture, through their work, their story, or their influence.

Exceptional or distinctive tattoo work with clear technical mastery.
A compelling personal or creative journey worth telling.
A recognizable style, perspective, or visual language.
Influence within a niche, scene, or broader community.
Notable achievements, awards, collaborations, or press.
Innovation in technique, subject matter, or storytelling.

These standards guide our team's evaluation process; not all criteria must be met. Each submission is reviewed holistically.

Submit For Editorial Consideration

Due to volume and editorial planning, a limited number of features are approved each quarter. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Use the application form to share who you are, what you do, and why your work or project belongs inside Freshly Inked Magazine. There is no cost to apply; if your submission is approved, you'll receive an invitation outlining next steps for moving forward with a feature, along with any available options based on your goals.

If your story is not selected for editorial placement, you will still receive a response, and you will have the option to explore our paid promotional features.
