EXISTS
There's a quiet change happening in tattooing.
Most people won't notice it.
You probably already have.
Flashbook is built for that shift.
Tattooing keeps evolving.
The people making the work feel it first,
a widening space between them and their following.
But the systems that once amplified tattooing
now reward engagement, volume, and spectacle
over craft and real connection.
Artists end up bending their process
around an algorithm
Flashbook is built on a refusal:
your agency shouldn't be negotiated
with platforms that profit from the attention YOU generate.
We want you to make art, not content.
TO ARTISTS
Your communication,
your time,
your rhythm
belong to you.
WE OFFER
a place for your work to live, free from shadow bans
a steady way for clients to reach you - and you to reach them
a booking flow that preserves your touch
a direct path from your hands to their skin
We're not here to add complexity.
We're here to remove it.
TO CLIENTS
Clients arrive with trust,
but not always with clarity.
WE OFFER
a transparent glimpse into an otherwise opaque process
a way to understand how to book — and know what to expect
a clear path without hesitation, friction or waiting
a reminder for the appointment their past-self booked
You stay focused on tattooing.
They arrive prepared.
Think of Flashbook as a toolbox.
If you only need one tool,
we only place that tool in your hand.
Everything else stays patiently in the drawer
until you ask for it.
WE OFFER
Flashbook hands you the tools you need
and keeps the rest out of the way
until you're ready for them.
OUR APPROACH
Flashbook wasn’t built by business school graduates
or tech entrepreneurs who spotted a “market gap.”
It was built quietly
between tattoo appointments,
on long phone calls,
and in borrowed hours when life allowed it.
No investors. No growth targets.
Just two friends, a tattooer and a software engineer building the tools we wished already existed.
WHO ARE WE?
Chris Yonker
Eric Rabinowitz
We trade tattoos for software.
We donate our time.
We build slowly, deliberately,
guided by tattooing itself.
Everything we make
is meant to stay useful:
Flashbook,
the S.T.A.R. Project,
the Guest Shop Database,
Violet.
These aren’t marketing assets. They’re offerings
ECOSYSTEM
Flashbook is one piece of a larger landscape we’re building.
These tools were made through donated time,
and there are many more we want to create.
If you believe in the vision,
simply use Flashbook to help us grow the ecosystem
and support the people building it.
