Tattoo & piercing · France · Belgium · Switzerland · Luxembourg
Tattoo or piercing: search by style, distance, budget and availability. Preview the design on your skin in augmented reality, post your project — tattoo or piercing — and let the artists come to you. On the professional side: calendar, quotes, payments and compliant e-invoicing, in a single app.
Free for clients · iOS, Android and browser
On one side, clients who look for an artist on Instagram, send a direct message and wait. On the other, professionals who run their calendar in a notebook, their quotes in a word processor and their accounts by hand — with a regulatory deadline closing in.
Instagram has no style filter, no search radius, no budget, no availability. You stumble on an artist by chance, not by match.
The request gets lost in a flooded inbox. No record of the project, the budget, or the slots actually available.
Quotes, deposits, reminders, receipts ledger, purchases register. Time not spent at the machine.
Receiving mandatory in France since 1 September 2026. Issuing from 1 September 2027 for micro-enterprises. It will not be postponed.
Screens from the live app. Search and its assistant, the augmented-reality preview, flash, project messaging and the convention calendar.

Can't put a name on what you have in mind? A few questions from PIK and it connects you with the pros who match your style, your area, your availability. A conversation, not a form — and it searches both trades, tattoo artists and piercers alike. The banner sits at the top of the search, before the map itself.
For those who already know: the map, filters by style, body area for piercing, distance, availability and budget, and KIPIK verified profiles.
Official app screenshots
No account to create to browse, nothing to install, no space taken on your phone. The complete app opens at app.kipik.ink — the map, the filters, the portfolios, the quotes, and PIK, the assistant that finds your tattoo artist or your piercer in one sentence. A link you send by message and that opens on the other side in a second.
Map of tattoo artists and piercers, adjustable radius of 5 to 200 km or the whole country, style families and sub-styles, budget, urgency, availability. Profiles show their lead times and their reviews.
01For tattoos, the design is projected onto your skin in augmented reality, size and position adjusted live, manual calibration and fitting to the contours of the body.
02Detailed quote signed electronically, secure deposit, payment in instalments, project messaging. For a piercing, the quote states the jewellery, the material and the check-up appointment. The professional gets a compliant invoice without thinking about it.
03Project listings: you describe your project, your budget and your timeframe, artists send you a quote. Seven days to accept.
All about finding a tattoo artist
Interactive map, radius of 5 to 200 km or the whole country, style families and sub-styles (up to ten), budget, urgency, availability, verified-or-listed filter. And if you don't know where to start: PIK, the personal assistant, talks with you to pin down what you really want and suggests the artists who match.
Most platforms stop at tattooing. KIPIK lists piercers on the same footing as tattoo artists: search by body area, jewellery type and material, hygiene and sterilisation protocol shown on the profile, healing follow-up and check-up appointment. A piercer is not a tattoo artist who also makes holes.
The design projected onto the skin through the camera, pinch to zoom, manual calibration and a "fit to my body" function that follows the contours.
Last-minute slots freed up by artists, at a reduced price. For spontaneous tattoos and recovered cancellations.
No artist in mind? Post your project with style, budget and urgency: artists reply with a quote, viewable as a zoomable PDF. Seven days to accept, then the listing closes automatically.
Card, SEPA direct debit or three or four instalments via Klarna. Bancontact in Belgium. Card details never pass through KIPIK.
Valid business identifier, professional liability insurance and hygiene training certificate required. A filter separates verified profiles from simple listings.
Google Calendar sync, unavailability ranges, occupancy rate, automatic blocking during conventions, month view with indicators, consultation appointments.
A4 PDF preview before sending, price calculator by payment method, mandatory electronic signature, slots offered then booked from the quote, custom documents attached.

Available to any professional registered in France. Receipts ledger, purchases register and twelve-month FEC export. Sending by email and connection to a certified partner platform.
Ink and batch register, documents kept and viewable, renewal notifications. A professional's invoices are visible to them only.
Team and guests, collaboration between studios. KIPIK Market to buy and sell equipment between professionals: offer negotiation, counter-offers, secure payment and moderated messaging.
Interactive plan editor, booth sizes of 3, 6 or 9 m² or custom, categories for tattoo artist, merchandising, food truck and supplier, configurable inclusions (meals, drinks, companion pass).
Online sales, promo codes, "checked in" marking after scan, ticketing statistics and revenue per event.
Booth contracts generated and signed electronically, full payment or deposit, percentage or flat fees, automatic reminders, checklist with counters and filters.

All about conventions: visitors, exhibitors, organisers
The tattoo artist app in detail
Layout examples. Exact dates are published by the organisers and confirmed in the app — no date is shown here without a source.
The convention calendar, the list of professionals attending with filters by type, style and availability, and booking a slot with an artist straight from the event.
Booth request approved by the organiser, attached documents kept, contract generated and signed electronically, payment by card, bank transfer, SEPA or Klarna.
Convention checklist with counters and filters, booth payment set-up, promo codes, automatic reminders, ticketing statistics and revenue per event.
The plans differ by the monthly subscription, the commission charged on payments taken through the platform, and the features included. Fourteen-day trial, no card required.
Piercers get exactly the same plans, at the same prices: they are not second-class customers. Stripe payment fees apply on top and are shown separately from the KIPIK commission.
All frequently asked questions
For clients, yes, entirely: search, augmented-reality preview, project listings, messaging and booking cost nothing. For professionals, the Starter plan is free with a 7% commission on payments taken through the platform; Pro and Premium bring that commission down to 2% and 1% in exchange for a monthly subscription.
Yes, on the same footing. Piercing is not a filter bolted onto tattooing: piercers have their own tree — body area, jewellery type, material — and their profile shows the hygiene and sterilisation protocol. Booking, quotes, payment and healing follow-up work identically, and the professional plans are the same as for tattoo artists, at the same price.
Distance (adjustable radius of 5 to 200 km, or the whole country), styles — organised in families such as Classic, Realism, Graphic or Japanese, each with its sub-styles, up to ten selected at once —, budget, urgency, availability, and profile status (verified or simply listed). An AI-assisted search and a live result counter complete the filters.
Tattoo artists and piercers with a valid business identifier, professional liability insurance and a hygiene training certificate. Professionals in Belgium, Switzerland and Luxembourg can also register, with their own country's company number and VAT number.
Receiving electronic invoices has been mandatory for businesses registered in France since 1 September 2026. The obligation to issue them applies from 1 September 2027 for micro-enterprises. KIPIK generates the receipts ledger, the purchases register and the twelve-month FEC export, and connects to a certified partner platform. Activation only needs your business identifier; have an ID document, a company extract less than three months old and bank details ready.
Payments go through Stripe. Card, SEPA direct debit at €0.35 per transaction, three or four instalments via Klarna, and Bancontact for Belgian clients. Card details never pass through KIPIK. The fee breakdown explicitly separates the KIPIK commission from the payment provider's fees.
For reversing the search. Instead of approaching artists one by one, you post your project with its style, budget and urgency: the relevant artists reply with a quote, viewable as a zoomable, shareable, printable PDF. You have seven days to accept; the listing closes automatically once a quote is accepted.
The directory contains profiles listed from public sources — the French SIRENE business register, OpenStreetMap, Google Places — so that the map is useful from day one. These listings are separated from verified profiles by a dedicated filter. You can claim yours to complete it, or ask for it to be removed.
Professional registration is open in more than twenty-five countries, with each country's business identifier and payment methods. The interface is translated into French, English, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and Portuguese, and follows the device language automatically.
app.kipik.ink opens the complete app in your browser: nothing to install, no account needed to browse. Professionals who use it every day often prefer the installed app. Seven languages, free for clients, fourteen-day trial with no card for pros.
