Terms of use

What this site is

Traditional Artist is a free directory of tattoo artists who work in Traditional styles, run by the team behind the @traditionalartist Instagram account. It helps you find an artist by city and style and see their work. Artists add themselves, and our editors check every profile by hand — see How we select. If you are an artist, the Artist Terms apply to your profile as well.

Bookings are between you and the artist

We are not a tattoo studio or an agency, and we do not take part in bookings. When you contact an artist through their Instagram, website or booking link, any appointment, deposit, price, design or aftercare is agreed between you and the artist. Before you book, check the artist’s recent work, their studio and its licence where your local rules require one.

Please do not

• copy the directory in bulk, scrape it, or use it to build another database or to train software;
• reuse artists’ photos — they belong to the artists, and you need their permission;
• send false details, add someone else’s profile, or pretend to be an artist or their manager;
• send spam, advertising or harmful files through our forms;
• try to get around our security, overload the site, or reach parts of it that are not meant for you.

We may refuse a request, remove content or block access when these rules are broken. Linking to any public page of the site is welcome.

Who owns what

Photos of tattoos belong to the artists who made them and are shown with their permission. The design of the site, its texts and the way the directory is put together belong to Traditional Artist. You may view and share links to the pages for your own use.

Mistakes and reports

Profiles are checked, but details change: an artist moves, changes studio or stops taking bookings. If something is wrong, use “Report incorrect information” on the artist’s page. If a photo is your work or shows you and was used without permission, choose “Copyright or content removal” in that form, or email traditional_artist@yahoo.com or send a direct message to @traditionalartist(Instagram, opens in a new tab) — an editor can hide the photo straight away while we look into it.

Links to other sites

Artist profiles link to Instagram, booking pages and websites that we do not run. Their own terms and privacy policies apply there.

No guarantees

The directory is provided as it is. We do our best to keep it accurate and available, but we do not guarantee that every detail is current or that the site is always online, and we do not vouch for the quality, safety or prices of any artist’s work. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for losses that come from using the site or from dealings with an artist you found here. Nothing here limits rights that you have by law and that cannot be limited.

Changes

We may update these terms as the site grows. The date at the top of this page shows the latest version. How we handle personal details is described in the Privacy policy.

Questions

If you have a question about these terms, email traditional_artist@yahoo.com or send a direct message to @traditionalartist(Instagram, opens in a new tab).
