Co:Create

Digital marketplace for tattoo artists

Overview

Co Create Ink runs a digital marketplace focused on tattoo artists, buyers, and collectors. It helps artists showcase and sell their artwork in an online space and earns revenue by taking commissions and service fees from transactions facilitated on the platform. Artists upload portfolios, list works, and engage with clients; buyers browse, purchase, or commission pieces through the site. The platform provides guidance and support to artists on how to use its features effectively, and it emphasizes remote collaboration and flexible work arrangements for its team, including bi-annual company-wide shutdowns. It also offers competitive pay, equity, and token-based incentives to team members. Compared with other marketplaces, Co Create Ink centers on artist welfare and community while offering structured incentives and a transparent revenue model, aiming to help artists connect with their audience and monetize their art more easily.
