Industries · Tattoo studios, expos & suppliers
You do the art. We do the rest.
Marketing and day-to-day support for tattoo artists and studios, from people inside the culture. ASTER Media publishes GOOD DAMAGE, an independent tattoo culture magazine, so we know how clients find artists and how to fill books without cheapening the work. We handle the content, ads, DMs, enquiries, merch and admin, so you can stay at the bench. We also work with the businesses around the craft: tattoo expos and conventions, and supply companies and brands.
What we do
Fill the calendar with the right work.
GOOD DAMAGE editorial is independent. Paying ASTER Media never buys coverage in the magazine, and being covered never requires working with us. Paid placements in GOOD DAMAGE are always labelled.

FAQ
Common questions.
Can you promote a guest spot or convention trip?
Yes. We run targeted Meta campaigns for guest spots, flash days and conventions across Australia and New Zealand.
We're booked out. Why would we need marketing?
Being booked out today doesn't guarantee it in six months. For busy studios, marketing is about attracting the work you want, filling gaps and building a waitlist you own.
