Quick Answers
Do you take story tips from readers?
Always. Studios closing, conventions misbehaving, an artist blowing up — send it. Use the form above and pick “Story Tip.” We keep sources confidential and never run a single-source rumor.
How do you choose products to review?
We test balms, machines, needles and skincare through real healing logs — no rushed verdicts. Brands can send samples, but coverage is never guaranteed or paid for. Honest only, every time.
Can my studio or artist get a spotlight?
Pitch us. Choose “Artist Spotlight,” link a portfolio or Instagram, and tell us what’s different about the work. We feature emergent artists from anywhere — Los Angeles to anywhere you’re booking.
Do you accept advertising or affiliate partnerships?
Yes — clearly labeled and walled off from editorial. Some “Shop Our Picks” links are affiliate links that help fund the desk. Pick “Advertising / Partnership” in the form to talk rates and placements.
Where are you based?
Los Angeles — but we cover work worldwide and travel for the conventions that matter. Part of the Shine Harder network alongside graffiti.shineharder.com and miguelcollins.net.
