How do I get my referral code?

Your referral code and link are created automatically the first time you open Referrals in your pro dashboard. You do not need to request them.

Your referral code is created automatically the first time you open the "Referrals" screen in your /pro dashboard. You do not need to request it: Tattooed generates it at that point and then keeps using the same code.

This code is only for tattoo artists you introduce to Tattooed, never for clients. It does not change what you receive from clients brought to you by Tattooed or from your own clients.

Where to find it

  1. Open your pro dashboard at /pro and click "Referrals" in the menu.
  2. The screen displays a ready-to-copy link.
The Refer an artist section, with the referral link to copy and the number of months already earned.
The link is ready the first time you open the screen.

This link includes the code as a URL parameter. Send it to a fellow artist by message or email: it opens the artist sign-up page directly, with the referral already set. No screen asks for the code on its own to be dictated or entered manually anymore. A code entered in the wrong field results in a sign-up without a referrer, and no one notices.

What happens to the code once it is generated

The code does not change after it is created. It remains the key that identifies your referrals, and it is still visible at the end of the link after "parrain=": this lets support match a screenshot to your account even though no screen asks anyone to enter the code anymore.

The same screen shows the history of the artists you referred: their name, sign-up date, and status ("Pending", "Month granted", "Cap reached", or "Cancelled"), along with the number of months already earned. If you have not subscribed yet, the screen explains that these months will be added to your trial when you subscribe. A referred artist who has not yet completed the first step of their own sign-up process appears without a name until they do.

If the other artist signs up another way

The referral is linked when the referred artist signs up, through the parameter in the link. It remains in place for a Google or Apple sign-up thanks to a cookie stored when the link is opened and valid for thirty days. The other artist can open the link, take time to decide, and sign up later without losing the referral.

An account can only be linked to one referrer, once. Referring yourself with a second professional account is not allowed. What triggers the reward and how you receive it are explained in How do artist-to-artist referrals work on Tattooed?
