Repeatable vs. SIngle-Use Designs

 

Understanding Your Options on InkFinder

 


InkFinder offers two types of tattoo design licenses: Repeatable and Single-Use.

Both are 100% hand-drawn by real tattoo artists — but each serves a different purpose.


This page explains the difference so you can choose what’s right for you.

 

 

 


REPEATABLE DESIGNS

 


(Standard flash — can be sold many times)


 

✔ What It Is

 


Repeatable designs are traditional flash-style tattoo designs that can be purchased by multiple clients or tattoo studios.

These designs stay available on the site and can be sold repeatedly.


 

✔ Who It’s For

 


Perfect for:

 

  • Tattoo clients looking for a high-quality, ready-to-tattoo design

  • Tattoo shops wanting fresh flash for walk-ins

  • Artists who want ongoing passive income

 


 

✔ How It Works

 

 

  • You purchase the design

  • You get the high-res file + stencil

  • You can use it one time for one tattoo

  • The design remains available on InkFinder for others to buy

Pricing

 


Repeatable designs are priced lower because they can be sold multiple times.


Typical price range:

£5 – £25 per design depending on size, detail, and artist.


 

✔ Benefits

 

 

  • Affordable

  • Fast and easy

  • Huge catalog

  • Great for walk-in tattoo shops

  • Artists earn from every sale

 

 

 

 


SINGLE-USE DESIGNS

 


(Exclusive — removed after purchase)


 

✔ What It Is

 


Single-use designs are one-of-a-kind tattoo designs.

Once purchased, the listing is permanently removed from InkFinder so no one else can buy or tattoo it.


The buyer gets the only licensed right to use that artwork.


 

✔ Who It’s For

 


Perfect for:

 

  • Clients who want a unique tattoo nobody else has

  • Studios offering exclusive flash

  • Artists selling limited, premium artwork

 


 

✔ How It Works

 

 

  • You purchase the design

  • You get the high-res artwork + stencil

  • The design is immediately taken down

  • You are the only person allowed to use it

Pricing

 


Single-use designs are priced higher because they are exclusive.


Typical range:

£50 – £150

(For detailed or large designs: even higher)


 

✔ Benefits

 

 

  • Fully exclusive

  • Unique tattoo nobody else will get

  • Higher quality and detail

  • Artists earn more for premium work

  • Collectible: like buying a one-off art piece

 

 

 


Licensing Rules for Both Types

 


Whether repeatable or single-use, every design includes:


✔ Single-use tattoo license

(one tattoo per purchase)


✖ No reselling

✖ No redistribution

✖ No using the design for merch or logos

✖ No reproducing it in other artwork


Artists keep full ownership of their work.
