describe the tattoo you want and where you are, and goodwork shows you southern california artists whose real work matches it, right inside the chat. no account needed.
ask for an artist the way you'd ask a friend: the idea, the style, the area, a budget. goodwork searches the portfolios of artists across los angeles, orange county, long beach, the inland empire and the san diego area and shows up to 5 of them as cards, each with photos of their work closest to your idea, why they fit, their city, prices and deposit when the artist has set them, and how fast they usually reply.
tap a card to open the artist's goodwork page, where you can message them about your tattoo. you can also ask about one artist by name or by their page link to see their flash designs, prices and more of their work.
sharing a reference photo works too: the assistant describes it and searches for that.
find goodwork in claude's connector directory, or add it yourself: settings → connectors → add custom connector, name it goodwork, and use https://goodwork.la/api/mcp/claude. in a chat, turn goodwork on from the tools menu.
find goodwork in chatgpt's app directory and connect it. in a chat, pick goodwork from the + menu, then ask. developers can add it directly with https://goodwork.la/api/mcp/chatgpt.
it only looks things up. it can't book, pay, message an artist or change anything for you: booking happens when you message the artist on goodwork. it only covers artists on goodwork in southern california, and it doesn't answer aftercare or tattoo-meaning questions.
there's no sign-in, and goodwork never sees your name, account or chat. it only gets what the assistant sends for the search: the tattoo idea and, if you mention them, the area, budget, size, placement and color.
we don't save your searches. the idea is sent to our search provider to compare against artists' work, and we keep anonymous counts (how many artists came back, which styles were asked for) to make results better, never the words you typed or where you are. everything shown about an artist is already on their public goodwork page. more in our privacy policy.
if the cards don't appear, the assistant still gets the results and can list the artists and links in its reply; starting a new chat usually brings the cards back. if a result is wrong or an artist's info looks out of date, email [email protected]. we answer within a day.
