Featured Artist: Mike Mavretic (Tier 3: Signature Artist)
Skin Deep Tattoo LLC, Lebanon, PA
Mike Mavretic isn’t just our first Sponsored Artist—he was instrumental in developing Tattoo Luv from the beginning.
Mike’s Role:
- Tested early formulas in real studio conditions
- Provided honest feedback that shaped the final product
- Identified the key performance requirements (stencil-safe, tube-friendly)
- Confirmed Tattoo Luv meets professional standards
In Mike’s Words:
“I’ve been using Tattoo Luv for over a year now, and it’s become an essential part of my process. It doesn’t wipe away my stencils, doesn’t clog my tubes, and my clients love how their tattoos heal. When you find a product that does everything it promises, you stick with it.”
Why Mike’s Testimonial Matters:
Mike uses Tattoo Luv daily because it works, not because we’re paying him to say it works. His Tier 3 Signature Artist benefits are earned through genuine partnership and honest product advocacy, not manufactured endorsement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a cost to join the program?
No. The Sponsored Artist Program is free to join. There are no application fees or membership dues—you receive product discounts, not pay us for the privilege of being sponsored.
What are the minimum purchase requirements?
Each tier has a monthly minimum order to maintain your sponsored status and benefits:
- Tier 1 (Partner Artist): 10+ 2oz tins + 1 8oz tin per month (~$185+/month)
- Tier 2 (Pro Team Member): 25+ 2oz tins + 2 8oz tins per month (~$437+/month)
- Tier 3 (Signature Artist): 40+ 2oz tins + 2 8oz tins per month (~$604+/month)
These minimums ensure you’re actively using Tattoo Luv in your studio practice. If your studio uses less product than these minimums, you can still purchase Tattoo Luv at regular retail pricing.
Can I use other products alongside Tattoo Luv?
Yes. We don’t require exclusive use, though we hope you’ll love Tattoo Luv enough to make it your go-to. Honest feedback includes letting us know if something else works better for certain situations.
What if I don’t have a huge social media following?
That’s okay. We value authenticity and genuine engagement over follower counts. A smaller, engaged following of real clients and peers is more valuable than inflated numbers.
Can I apply if I’m not based in Central PA?
Absolutely. While we’re Pennsylvania-based and love supporting local artists, we welcome applications from professional artists nationwide.
What if I’m not selected?
If we’re not able to bring you into the program immediately, we’ll let you know. You’re welcome to reapply in the future, or simply purchase Tattoo Luv at regular retail pricing and recommend it if you love it.
How long does sponsored status last?
As long as the partnership is mutually beneficial. We don’t do annual renewals or arbitrary terminations. If you’re using the product, representing it honestly, and we’re providing value through discounts and support, the relationship continues.
Can I be sponsored by multiple brands?
Yes. We don’t require exclusive sponsorships. If you use multiple products you believe in and they sponsor you, that’s great. We only ask for honesty about what you use and when you use it.
Ready to Join Our Community?
