Join the Collective
Join a growing tribe of Canadian tattoo artists transforming original designs into street-ready apparel. No fluff. Just fair pay, real exposure, and creative freedom.
What We Offer
We collaborate with bold, independent tattoo artists across Canada to turn original ink into premium, wearable art. As part of the Collective, you’ll tap into real opportunities — with full creative control and a fair share of the rewards.
Revenue-sharing on every piece sold
You receive 60% of the profit for every item featuring your design. No fees, no setup costs — just real income from your art.
A personalized artist shop & profile
Get a dedicated artist page featuring your bio, product line, and links. It’s your personal hub, built to grow your audience and tell your story.
Creative freedom within curated seasonal drops
You create the designs — we curate the drops. Submit what reflects your voice and style, and we’ll handle the rest.
Professional-grade apparel & printing
Your work is printed on pro-grade apparel using top-tier DTG printing — ensuring your designs look sharp and wear well.
Design Guidelines
✔️ Tattoo-Inspired Aesthetics
Traditional, Neo-Traditional, Blackwork, Linework, Dotwork, or Illustrative — if it draws from the spirit of tattoo culture, it belongs here.
✔ Bold, Wearable Designs
Your art should hold up on a tee, tote, or hoodie. Clean lines, strong contrast, and striking compositions that catch the eye from a distance.
✔ Artist-Driven Work
We want work that reflects your unique style. Whether it’s gritty, detailed, minimal, or loud — your voice is what makes it collectible.
✘ Copyrighted Material
No brand logos, pop culture characters, or anything you don’t fully own. We only print original, artist-created work.
✘ AI-Generated Elements
We don’t accept AI art or design mashups. Every piece should come from a human hand — your skill is the value.
✘ Discriminatory/Harmful Content
Designs that include hate, violence, cultural appropriation, or offensive stereotypes are never accepted.
