About

I’m a founder of Inked Vice, building digital tools for tattoo artists at the intersection of tradition and the future. Passionate about tattoo history, design, and architecture. Recommended reads: Matt Lodder, Jamie Jelinski. Reach me at edgar@inkedvice. ComInked Vice was started with one goal: to help artists make more art. Over the years, I’ve met many artists. I was surprised by how many extremely talented people struggle with daily scheduling & client communication. It fascinated me how much time and effort they put into simply keeping things going and being able to do what they love. It felt unfair to me, especially in today’s social media climate. Artists are often forced to optimize themselves for views & hype instead of focusing on good work and creating beautiful art. Instagram, TikTok, and other social media platforms are not designed to run a business. Their goals are different. They care about attention & views. Not about the quality of the art or helping creators. That is how the idea was born. I wanted to create a community-driven platform that helps artists & clients connect in a better way. A safe space for clients to meet new artists and bring their ideas to life. A simple, professional space for artists to manage the business side of their work. The tools are designed for artists. They help simplify the mundane, so artists can spend more time creating.
