Artist Verification & Safety

Effective Date: 03-21-2026

At Art In Motion Tattoos, we prioritize the security of our clients. Due to a rise in advanced impersonation scams, we created this verification portal. It helps keep your deposit and identity safe.

🛡️ The “Direct-Only” Booking Rule

Our studio operates on a strictly professional booking protocol. To avoid falling victim to a scam, please remember:

• No Social Media Payments: We NEVER solicit or accept deposits via Instagram DMs, Facebook Messenger, or TikTok.
• No External Booking Apps: We do not use third-party booking apps or “cancellation fill” services.
• Direct Artist Consultation: A deposit is only requested after you have had a direct consultation (in-person or via official email) with one of our verified artists listed below.

🛑 Legacy Artist Alert:

We frequently receive inquiries regarding former staff members. Please be advised that Brea Bastin has not been affiliated with Art In Motion Tattoos for over 5 years. Any person using this name to request bookings or deposits at Art In Motion Tattoos (927 E Fillmore St) is a fraud.
