How do I rate a tattoo?
In order to rate someone else’s tattoo, you must register with TattooBin.com. Once you have registered, you may rate each design that you view on a five star rating scale. Simply drag your mouse over the stars and click to instantly rate the tattoo. The rating is then submitted and is unable to be changed later. You may only rate each tattoo once. Please be as fair as possible when rating, as our community takes great pride in their art.

How should I label my tattoo?
Please use the best description possible when labeling a tattoo. The description, as well as the body location and category, are used to find your tattoo in the searchable database. Therefore, it would be most effective to use specific descriptive terms when describing your designs.
