About Us
Welcome to Professional Tattoo Shops
Founded in 2017, Professional Tattoo Shops (PTS) is a dedicated online news platform that shines a spotlight on the vibrant world of tattooing, with a specific focus on professional tattoo shops across the globe. Our mission is to empower both aspiring and established artists while providing valuable insights to clients seeking their next permanent artwork.
Our Journey
The idea behind PTS was born from a gap in the market for an unbiased, comprehensive resource centre for everything related to professional tattooing. We noticed that while there are numerous blogs and forums dedicated to specific aspects of tattoos, there was a lack of centralized, reliable information about the industry’s professionals and their practices. This inspired us to create a platform that would bridge this gap.
Since its inception, PTS has become a go-to destination for tattoo enthusiasts and industry professionals alike. We have celebrated numerous milestones, including:
- 2018: Launch of our award-winning podcast, ‘Ink Talk’, featuring interviews with top artists.
- 2019: Collaboration with renowned tattoo conventions to bring exclusive content to our readers.
- 2020: Expansion of our team to include contributors from over 15 countries, ensuring diverse perspectives.
- 2022: Achieved over 5 million page views, solidifying our position as a leading industry resource.
Purpose and Values
Our core purpose is to foster an informed, supportive, and inclusive community centered around professional tattooing. We strive for:
- Accuracy and Reliability: We are committed to providing fact-checked, unbiased information. Our rigorous content moderation ensures every article, review, and interview adheres to the highest standards.

- Artist Empowerment: We aim to empower tattoo artists by providing a platform for their voices, showcasing their skills, and offering guidance on industry best practices.
