# Freshly Inked

> Freshly Inked is a tattoo artist discovery and booking platform. We track and surface the work of vetted tattoo artists across the United States and internationally, organized by style, placement, city, and subject. Every piece links back to the artist who made it, and clients can request to book directly through the platform.

## What You'll Find Here

- **Style × placement intersection pages**: e.g. "fine line forearm tattoos", "black and gray realism back pieces"
- **Style × city intersection pages**: e.g. "best fine line artists in Los Angeles", "Japanese traditional in Long Beach"
