TatScout is a verified tattoo artist and studio discovery platform helping clients find the right artist before booking. Founded in Amsterdam in 2025, TatScout manually verifies each listing, confirming current location, active booking status, real Google ratings, and actual style specialisation, rather than relying on self-reported data. The platform currently covers 27 individually verified artists and 500+ tattoo studios across 12 countries, spanning styles from fine-line and realism to Japanese traditional and blackwork. TatScout was built on a single observation: a tattoo is a permanent decision, but most online resources give clients inaccurate information at the moment they need it most.

TatScout is a verified tattoo artist and studio discovery platform headquartered in Amsterdam. The platform helps clients worldwide find the right tattoo artist or studio before committing to a permanent piece of body art. What sets TatScout apart from general directories and review aggregators is its verification model. Every artist and studio listed on TatScout is manually checked: current location is confirmed (tattoo artists relocate frequently and most online listings are out of date), booking status is verified, style specialisation is assessed against actual portfolio work rather than self-reported tags, and rating data is sourced directly from Google rather than the platform's own unverifiable review system. As of May 2026, TatScout covers 27 individually verified tattoo artists, including internationally recognised names, and more than 500 verified studios across 12 countries and 15 cities. The platform indexes styles from fine-line and single-needle to blackwork, realism, Japanese traditional, and geometric. In May 2026 TatScout published the Tattoo Price Index 2026, the first openly available price benchmark for the tattoo industry. The dataset covers median tattoo prices across six cities, six styles, and four size tiers, and is freely available for journalistic use. TatScout is used by clients who want accurate, current information before a booking that cannot be undone. It is free for clients and funded by studio partnerships and data licensing. The platform was founded in 2025. Press contact: press@tatscout.com
