Local matches first, then toll-free.
A decision people think about for months
Most people think about a tattoo for a long time before they book. They follow artists on social media, save photos and ask friends where they went. When they finally decide, they want to reach the shop they had in mind. A number that is easy to recall helps make sure that shop is you.
INK and TATS are short, readable and hard to forget.
Where to put it
- The window and sign.
- Aftercare sheets. Every client takes one home, and they are often asked where they got the work done.
- Social profiles and flash-day flyers, where most new clients first see your work.
Walk-ins and consultations
Walk-in flash and custom consultations bring different calls. Walk-in customers want to know the wait. Custom clients want to talk through a design and book a consultation. One number handles both.
Calls and texts
Calls ring the phone you choose, and missed calls go to that phone's voicemail. That matters when you are mid-session with a machine in your hand. Texts arrive as email, useful for collecting a name and a short description of the idea. Three-letter words such as INK and TAT are the easiest to find locally.
Which of these words you can get
The shorter the word, the more numbers can spell it. Toll-free is one national pool, so a word that is taken in your area code can still be free there.
| Word | Letters | Availability |
|---|---|---|
| INK | 3 | Easy to find. Up to 10,000 local numbers per area code can spell it. |
| TATS | 4 | Usually available. Up to 1,000 per area code, though popular trade words go first. The live results above show what is free today. |
| INKED | 5 | Harder to find. Up to 100 per area code. A neighbouring area code or toll-free often has one. |
| TAT | 3 | Easy to find. Up to 10,000 local numbers per area code can spell it. |
