A week of posts for a tattoo studio
Seven posts for a small tattoo studio, one a day, with the photo to take, the caption and why it works. Copy them as they are, or let Loudwell write a week like this from your own photos, in your voice.
Your books open once a month and fill in a day, but walk-in flash days and new artists still need finding. People choose a tattoo artist by style, and they scroll a long way before they message. A week like this keeps your style in front of the right people.
The week
-
Monday · Instagram · Photo
Shoot: A healed piece on a client's forearm in daylight (ask first).
Healed, eight months on. Fine line holds if you look after it for the first fortnight.
Why it works: Healed work is what careful clients look for, because it shows how your lines last.
-
Tuesday · TikTok · Video
Shoot: Fifteen seconds of the needle on a line, close up, with the stencil still visible (ask first).
Linework on a botanical half sleeve. Session two of three.
Why it works: Close needle clips are very watchable and show your steady hand.
-
Wednesday · Instagram · Carousel
Shoot: Six flash designs on the wall, one per slide.
Flash day this Saturday from 11. Six designs, first come first served, each one only tattooed once.
Why it works: Flash carousels get shared between friends, and one-off designs make people move quickly.
-
Thursday · Instagram · Photo
Shoot: The artist's station set up, wrapped and clean, before the first client.
Everything single-use is opened in front of you. Ask us anything about how we work.
Why it works: Showing hygiene openly builds trust with first-timers.
-
Friday · TikTok · Video
Shoot: Peeling the stencil off and the first look in the mirror (ask first).
Three months of messages back and forth. Two hours today.
Why it works: The reveal moment gets shared by the client, which puts your work in front of their friends.
-
Saturday · Instagram · Reel
Shoot: Flash day in the studio: the queue, the wall, a buzz, ten seconds.
Flash day queue at 10:40. Four designs left by 1.
Why it works: Showing demand live is social proof and makes people plan for the next one.
-
Sunday · Instagram · Photo
Shoot: The studio after closing: chairs wiped, lights low, sketchbook open.
That's the week. Books for January open on the 1st, at 10am.
Why it works: A clear date for opening books gives followers something to set a reminder for.

Questions
How often should a tattoo studio post?
Three to five posts a week is plenty. A mix of fresh work, healed work and sketches keeps the grid honest and gives people something to come back for.
Which platform is best for a tattoo studio?
Instagram, because people choose an artist by scrolling a grid, and TikTok for process clips that reach people who don't follow tattoo accounts yet. LinkedIn and X rarely help.
Should a tattoo studio post healed or fresh tattoos?
Both, but healed work is the one careful clients trust. Fresh tattoos look their best on the day; healed ones show what yours look like a year later.
Can Loudwell write a week like this for me?
Yes. Loudwell is a Mac app that plans your week from the photos and clips you already have and writes each caption in your voice. Nothing goes out without your yes on your phone. Solo is £4.99 a month, with 7 days free and no card; your AI provider bills you separately, usually £2 to £4 a month.
