    The public application

  3. Select

    Management review

    ATLANTA INK® management reviews every application. Selection is personal and never automatic.

  4. Onboard

    A private questionnaire

    Selected applicants get a private invitation: profile, photos, acknowledgments and signature.

  5. Refer

    Your followers

    Bring your people to the studio. Referred followers get the deposit offer, and every referral is tracked to you.

Ambassador earnings

They pay $50. You earn $10.

Your followers get 50% off the required deposit. When their appointment is completed, you earn 10% of the regular deposit. If they forfeit it under the studio's late-cancellation or no-show policy, you still earn half.

Founding25

Twenty-five places in the first Ambassador class ATLANTA INK® has ever selected.

The Founding Class of 2026 launches the program. ATLANTA INK® may create Founding Class merchandise, recognition and experiences that won't be repeated for future classes. Selection weighs your voice, your network, your creativity and the way you connect with people, not just follower count.

The standard you keep

  • 3

    shares a week

    Share ATLANTA INK® content that fits your audience.

    original posts a month

    Reels, feed posts, tattoo reveals, shop visits or other approved content.

This is an active partnership, not a discount club. Status is reviewed about every 90 days.

Before you apply

Answers from the Ambassador Handbook. Anything else, ask the studio at book@AtlantaInk.com.

Read the program terms
  • Anyone who lives the culture and wants to represent the studio can apply here. Every application is reviewed by ATLANTA INK® management and selection is never automatic. Until you are accepted and onboarded, you can't use the Ambassador title.

  • A qualifying client you refer gets 50% off the required deposit, and the booking shows as a pending referral. New and returning clients both qualify. The referral on the original booking decides who gets credit, and referrals are not normally added after a booking.

  • You earn 10% of the regular deposit when the referred appointment is completed. On a $100 deposit the client pays $50 and you earn $10. If the client cancels within 48 hours or no-shows and forfeits the deposit, you earn 50% of that, $5. Refunds and chargebacks earn nothing, and you can't earn commission on your own appointments.

  • Commissions are reconciled monthly and paid on the 15th of the following month. If the 15th falls on a weekend or a recognized holiday, you are paid on the business day before. There is no guaranteed income.

  • At least 3 shares a week, 4 original ATLANTA INK® posts a month and one event, activation or Content Day a month when reasonably available. Keep "ATLANTA INK® Ambassador" in your bio while Active, tag @Atlanta.Ink, and disclose the relationship clearly with "ATLANTA INK® Ambassador", #ad or #sponsored.

  • While Active: 20% off qualifying personal tattoos, 15% off qualifying Jewel Gallery purchases, priority RSVP for studio events, early access to flash drops and previews, Content Day eligibility and features on the studio's social media. Personal discounts generally don't combine with other promotions, and artist minimums still apply.

  • Status is reviewed about every 90 days, looking at content, referrals, events, communication and professionalism. Ambassadors are Active, on Probation (usually 30 days to improve), Inactive or Removed. If you need to step away, let management know.

  • No. Content Day pricing covers selected qualifying artists, designs, services, sizes and time slots, and the studio sets them. Invited Ambassadors publish at least one Reel or feed post and three Stories, with the main post up within 72 hours.
