Editorial Guidelines
These guidelines explain how Tattoos.com plans, writes, reviews, and maintains editorial content across articles, directory pages, and trust resources.
Useful first
We publish content to help people make clearer tattoo decisions.
Our editorial work should help readers compare options, understand tattoo topics, and navigate the platform with less guesswork.
Clear and honest
We aim for plain language, transparent framing, and practical advice.
We avoid padding, vague claims, and confusing jargon. If a topic has limits, tradeoffs, or uncertainty, we try to say so directly.
Maintained over time
Editorial pages are reviewed and refreshed as the platform evolves.
When information becomes outdated, incomplete, or less useful, we update it, rewrite it, or remove it so the site stays dependable.
Our editorial process
How content moves from idea to published page.
1. Plan around real reader needs
We choose topics that match what tattoo clients, artists, and shop owners actually need help with, from design decisions to directory trust and platform policies.
2. Write for clarity
We write in a direct style and organize content so key points are easy to scan, compare, and act on.
3. Review for quality
Before publication, we review structure, tone, internal consistency, and whether the page genuinely serves the reader.
4. Revisit when needed
We revisit articles, trust pages, and directory copy when features change, better examples emerge, or feedback suggests a page can be improved.
What readers should expect
Editorial promises that guide our content.
- •We separate trust and policy pages from promotional language so readers can understand how the platform works.
- •We try to credit artists, shops, and original context appropriately when showcasing work or describing listings.
- •We treat corrections seriously and adjust pages when something is inaccurate, unclear, or outdated.
- •Editorial content is meant to inform. It does not replace direct advice from a tattoo artist, studio, or healthcare professional where those are more appropriate.
