TattooJi is committed to transparency and providing you with honest, unbiased information to help guide your tattoo journey. In order to support the costs of operating this website—including research, writing, hosting, and maintenance—we participate in various affiliate marketing programs. This page explains what that means for you and how it works.
What Is an Affiliate Link?
An affiliate link is a special URL that contains a tracking code. When you click an affiliate link on TattooJi and make a purchase from the linked website (for example, an online store selling tattoo aftercare products or artist tools), we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. The commission helps us continue to produce high-quality, free content and resources for our community.
How We Use Affiliate Links
- Product Recommendations: When we feature tattoo-related products or services—such as stencil kits, aftercare creams, books, or online courses—you may see links that direct you to purchase those items from third-party retailers (e.g., Amazon, Etsy, or other specialist vendors).
- Banner Ads & Widgets: Occasionally, you might notice banner ads, widgets, or “shop the look” sections promoting products. These contain affiliate links.
- Review & Roundup Articles: In our detailed product reviews and “best of” roundups, affiliate links may be used to direct you to the most reliable place to purchase.
Our Commitment to You
- No Extra Cost: You will never pay more when buying through our affiliate links. The commission comes from the retailer.
- Integrity First: We only promote products and services we genuinely believe in. We test, research, and vet every item before recommending it.
- Full Disclosure: Whenever an affiliate relationship exists, we make that clear in the content. If you see a product recommendation, you can assume we may earn a commission if you choose to buy.
Examples of Affiliate Programs We Participate In
- Amazon Associates – a wide range of books, aftercare products, and tattoo gear.
- ShareASale – specialty tattoo supply companies and artist courses.
- CJ Affiliate – premium brands in the tattoo industry.
- Etsy Affiliate – custom stencils, flash art, and independent artist shops.

- Publish new tattoo inspiration galleries and trend reports.
- Expand our Artist Spotlight interviews and behind-the-scenes features.
