Where to Sell Your Custom Tattoo Designs

The question on every custom tattoo designer’s lips always pertains to where he can sell his tattoos. If you are a tattoo designer, your best opportunities are available on the internet, or you can look for a tattoo shop in your city and work there for the owner of the shop, after working out a deal with him to showcase your designs. However, since the geographical area is restricted to the city in which you live, your client base is small.

You can also launch your own website. Once you do this and post all your custom tattoo designs on it, you must learn to attract traffic to your site. However, this is both time-consuming and needs organization. First, you need to position your site so that it is on the first or second page in the rankings of major search engines when a client looks for “tattoo designers” or “custom tattoo designs.” If your site is not optimized for this, your clients will spend no more than five seconds on any particular request, and if your site cannot match up to this, you won’t be able to make a sale.

But if you sign up on an already up and running custom tattoo design site, you can enjoy all the features and benefits a tattoo designer requires. Check the site; you want it to be secure and bug-free, and then just register yourself on this site and select the designs you want to upload.

There are some custom tattoo design sites that run tattoo design contests. Some good ones keep hiring tattoo designers for their websites. There are also those that offer a ‘Tattoo Marketplace’ which the designer can join for free, upload their designs and set a price for each design and get paid each time a custom tattoo design is sold.

One more avenue of selling a tattoo design is to participate in a tattoo design contest on the Net. If a tattoo designer enters his designs in a contest and his designs are selected, he stands to win a pre-set prize. As a designer, you too can build up your portfolio and attract the attention of more customers. Such a platform is really a very good way of gaining exposure for your custom tattoo designs since most clients will be surfing through many, many designs before they zero in on one final design. The more you get involved in these contests, the more visible your work will be.

If, however, you choose to join a tattoo marketplace, you can upload as many tattoo designs as you like and can remove as many as you like, whenever you please. Here, you set the price per design and the website you’ve hooked up to will take care of the payments and administration on your behalf. Once you upload your designs onto the marketplace, you don’t need to do anything else. So, just sit back and watch your designs being sold in cyberspace. While you’re in the marketplace, you will also receive e-mail updates on the marketplace’s status from which you will be able to track your progress.
