About Hearth, the Pyre publication for tattoo studios
What Hearth is, who it's for, and how to read it. The Pyre publication for tattoo studios, the artists in them, and the people who run them.
Hearth is where Pyre talks tattoo.
Pyre is the post tool for tattoo studios. Hearth is the publication where we write about the work studios actually do, the platform behaviors that shape that work, and the operations that hold it together.
What you'll find here
Hearth has four corners.
Artist Profiles is where we feature working tattooers, what they're making, and how they show up online.
Shop Notes is opinionated essays on the trade. Positioning, platform shifts, what we think and why.
Getting Tattooed is the client-facing side. How to find an artist, how to prepare for a session, how to read a portfolio.
Operations is the studio operator's desk. Coordination, scheduling, the unglamorous side of running a shop with three or more chairs.
