Royal Inked under the skin.
Royal Inked is a custom tattoo studio in Centurion, run by Junior — an artist with over 16 years in the craft and a 4.9-star reputation to show for it. The work was never the problem; the home online was. We built them a site that presents the ink with the same standard it's done with.
Where it hurt.
Instagram was the whole business
The portfolio and the brand lived on a platform they didn't own — one algorithm change away from invisible.
Sixteen years of work, lost in a feed
Realism, black & grey, colour, fine line, cover-ups — a full range of craft compressed into a scrolling grid where nothing gets the space it deserves.
A rating the website couldn't match
A 4.9-star rating on Google with 250+ reviews — but the old website told a different story. It didn't carry the professionalism of the work, and first impressions suffered for it.
// Royal Inked had already earned its reputation — it needed a website that lives up to it, and presents the work as professionally as it's inked.
What we built.
We designed and built a fully custom site around the work itself — full-bleed galleries on a near-black canvas that lets the ink speak, a dedicated page for Junior and his 16 years behind the machine, and a prepaid tattoo plan explained clearly enough to sell itself. Enquiries still land where the studio prefers them — in the DMs — but now they arrive from a site that carries the same professionalism as the chair. Local SEO and Google Business integration put the studio in front of people actually searching for ink in Centurion.
We love the new site — the whole process was quick, professional and effortless from start to finish. Within the first week of going live, it brought us two new clients.
