InkXed
Founding Artists Program · Limited to 100 Selected Artists

Not a Sponsorship

We want your experience—not your audience.

The Founding Artists Program is a private product-testing program. It is not a sponsorship, influencer campaign, affiliate program, or brand-ambassador offer.

We will never expect you to post about InkXed, promote the company, share discount codes, or recommend the app to your followers.

Your audience size does not matter. We are interested in your experience as a tattoo artist and your honest opinion about the product.

No posts. No promotion. No forced praise. Just honest testing and useful feedback.

What's Included

Help shape InkXed—and receive more in return.

Full private-testing access

Explore every InkXed feature available during the private-testing period. There are no limited tester plans or sections locked behind an upgrade.

Early access to new features

Test new tools, workflows, and improvements before they are released publicly.

Five years of Founding Artist pricing

Founding Artists who complete the initial program requirements will receive discounted InkXed pricing for five years after paid public pricing begins.

The pricing model and exact discount have not been finalized. Feedback from Founding Artists will help InkXed establish pricing that is fair for working artists. Everything will be shared clearly before anyone is asked to pay.

Direct access to the founder

Ask questions, report problems, and share feedback directly without going through a generic support queue.

Help shape the product

Tell us what feels useful, confusing, unnecessary, or missing. Your workflow, feature requests, and feedback will directly inform InkXed's development.

Priority review of reported issues

Bugs and usability problems reported by Founding Artists will receive priority review during development.

What We Ask From You

Use it. Test it. Tell us the truth.

You do not need technical experience, and you do not need to say nice things about InkXed. We need you to explore the platform thoughtfully and tell us what actually happens.

  • Complete the initial onboarding and testing checklist.
  • Explore InkXed's main workflows using sample information.
  • Report bugs, broken features, and unexpected behavior.
  • Point out anything confusing, slow, or unnecessarily complicated.
  • Suggest improvements based on how you actually run your business.
  • Participate in occasional short surveys or feedback check-ins.

Initial testing will use sample information rather than real client data. Selected artists will receive complete testing instructions after signing the Founding Artist Agreement.

Who We're Looking For

Artists who understand the day-to-day.

InkXed is looking for independent artists, private-studio owners, and artists working in small shops who understand what it takes to manage clients and keep a tattoo business running.

  • Actively work as tattoo artists.
  • Manage their own inquiries, bookings, clients, or payments.
  • Are willing to spend time genuinely testing the platform.
  • Feel comfortable providing direct, constructive feedback.
  • Are open to trying new technology and new workflows.
  • Will speak up when something does not make sense.

The program is open to US-based artists only. InkXed's payments and text messaging are built on US systems, so testing outside the United States would not reflect the product artists will actually use.

You do not need a large following or a technical background. Artists will be selected for their experience and ability to provide useful feedback—not their social-media reach.
