Can you promote in r/tattoos?
This tattoos subreddit is to share, discuss, and ask questions about THE ART YOU WEAR. Please enjoy your stay.
The short answer
If you reply publicly, identify yourself as the artist/shop briefly, keep the focus on the tattoo (not selling), avoid pricing/medical advice, follow posting format, and be ready to move detailed solicitations to private messages or direct people to book through approved channels.
What works here
- Sharing professional healed-work images as an artist (with artist/shop/location)
- Constructive comments about tattoos and technique
- Answering non-medical, non-pricing questions about your work
What gets posts removed
- Advertise, solicit customers, or include pricing in public comments/posts
- Giving medical/aftercare advice or diagnosing issues
- Personal comments about OP's body or appearance

Pricing and solicitation banned

Keep comments about the tattoo
