Data Quality And Updates - Tattoo Developers

TattooAPI distinguishes submitted evidence from records approved for use in an application. An imported record or uploaded image is not automatically public.

Directory Data

Use the returned identifiers to link studio and artist records. Do not assume that a search result is a verified identity, a complete directory listing, or permission to contact the person. Available fields and record counts depend on the endpoint, your access, and the reviewed data available at request time.

Portfolio Data

Portfolio visibility depends on artist attribution, ownership, rights, consent, review, and distribution approval. An approved private submission may still be absent from public portfolio reads. Use submission status to track an upload and portfolio reads to retrieve displayable results.

Handling Updates

Store stable record IDs and refresh data through the documented endpoints. Do not infer deletions from a single empty or filtered response. For incorrect attribution or missing permissions, request review rather than automatically reassigning or publishing a record.
