Here is what being a Founding Artist actually means.
You are not a customer on a loyalty program. You are one of the artists Banger is building this brand around. Here is what that looks like in practice.
A Custom Banner. Your Name On It.
Ships within 2 to 3 weeks of your second consecutive subscription order confirming. Your name or Instagram handle printed exactly as you want it displayed. This design will never be reprinted.
Your Profile on bangertattoocare.com.
A featured profile with your name, city, and a live link directly to your booking page. We send our customers to you. Stays active as long as your subscription stays active.

New banner designs ship at orders 6, 12, and 18. Each one carries your Founding Artist designation permanently. Pro plan subscribers receive all milestone banners free.

Every order builds toward something.
Four milestone banners. Each one a different design. Each one carrying your Founding Artist title permanently. The longer you stay, the more your wall tells the story.

2028 Artist Banner
Qualify at order 18, ships January 2028. By order 18 your wall tells a story. Founding Artist on every banner. Always.
Founding Artist. It stays on every banner.
Every banner you earn at every milestone will carry the Founding Artist designation permanently. The title follows you through the entire program for as long as your subscription stays active.
If your subscription lapses for 90 days or more the Founding Artist title is forfeited and cannot be reinstated. You are always welcome to reactivate as a Certified Artist. But once the founding designation is gone it is gone. It was earned by being here in 2026. That window has closed for everyone else.

Everything you need to manage your plan is in your subscriber portal. No hoops. No phone calls. You are in control.

Everything you need. Right here.
When does my banner ship?
Within 2 to 3 weeks of your second consecutive subscription order confirming. We email you after your second order to collect your banner name, photo, and booking link.
What goes on my banner?
Your name or Instagram handle exactly as you want it printed plus your Founding Artist title. We collect this via email after your second order confirms. It is permanent so take your time getting it right.
What goes on my website profile?
Your name, city, Instagram handle as a clickable link, and your booking page URL. We build the profile after your second order confirms and send you the live link when it goes up.
How do the milestone banners work?
Qualify at order 6, 12, and 18. Banners ship on their release date. Pro plan subscribers receive all milestone banners free. At order 12 every active subscriber on all three plans receives the banner free — that is the year-one loyalty reward. Order 6 and 18 banners are optional at $50 for Standard and Kit subscribers.
What happens if I cancel?
Your banner is yours permanently regardless of subscription status. Your profile comes down when your subscription lapses. If your subscription is inactive for 90 days or more your Founding Artist title is forfeited. You can reactivate at any time as a Certified Artist.
Can I upgrade to the Pro plan?
Yes. Email us at colby@bangertattoocare.com and we will move you over. Your past orders count toward milestones on the Pro plan. No reset.
Can I order more between shipments?
Yes. Log into your subscriber portal and trigger an order on demand anytime. Or email us and we can trigger it through your plan on our end.
What is the difference between Founding Artist and Certified Artist?
Founding Artists subscribed in 2026 before January 1, 2027. That designation is permanent and prints on every banner for life. Certified Artist is the designation for subscribers who join after the 2026 window closes. Both are real. Only one is original.
When does the Founding Artist title drop?
If your subscription is inactive for 90 consecutive days the Founding Artist title is forfeited permanently. Skipping or pausing within the portal does not count against the 90 days as long as the subscription remains active.
Is there anything else coming for Founding Artists?
Yes. We are building ongoing exclusive rewards and recognition for active Founding Artists as the program grows. You will hear about them before anyone else does.
