Find trusted artists or studios. Earn more.
Why chance finding a random artist, guest spot, or full-time gig on social media? Make better choices and remove the guesswork.

HEAR WHAT SHOP OWNERS AND ARTISTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT DAVE ALLEN, THE FOUNDER OF HOLD FAST SOCIAL CLUB.
“If Tattooing is an institution then Dave Allen is a tenured professor. Taking on many rolls over the years, integrity and passion for profession and community are unwavering. His dedication to bettering and preserving not just tattooing but people in whole will not come as a surprise to those who know him. “
“I can say without a doubt Dave cares about what he’s doing and how he is doing it, and he definitely cares about tattooing and sees it earnestly and honestly not just for what tattooing is but also what can be.
…when drawing from his experiences traveling the world, working among some of the industry’s very finest or running his own shops and businesses, any insight Dave has to share is worth the consideration of anyone.”
WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?
After tattooing in studios and owning a few over the last 20 years I’ve come to realize there has to be a better way to partner artists with studios. I believe we can create healthier, more positive connections, based on integrity. We want to help you find that new artist or studio. The one that’s going to make you stronger, happier, and move you closer to achieving your goals.
TATTOOER OWNED
I’m an artist and studio owner. I know first hand the issues facing tattoo work environments. I also think the best place to find a solution is from within our industry. Solutions that reflect our specific needs.
