YOU MAKE ART.
WE MAKE IT WORK.
The Tidewater tattoo community is full of talent, and we want to help it thrive.
Needle Network Creative started with one simple idea: Ink shops deserve better marketing. Too many studios rely on word-of-mouth and an inconsistent approach to social media — not because they want to, but because no one’s provided a better way. That’s our job.
We bring creative thinking, clear messaging and real strategy to Hampton Roads tattoo shops. Whether you’re just opening your doors or you’ve been around for years, we’ll help you stay visible, build loyalty and grow your brand without burning out.
OUR APPROACH
WE STAND ON BUSINESS:
Strategy matters.
Good design is half the battle. We aim for results, not just attention.
Partnership over preaching.
We’re here to collaborate with you and your artists, not control your content.
No copy-paste campaigns.
Every shop, artist and client is different — so are our creative solutions.
Local first, always.
We’re based in the 757. Helping Hampton Roads tattoo shops thrive in this community is personal.
Meet the Team
Dale Lavine
Founder
I’m Dale — creative copywriter, brand builder and founder of Needle Network Creative. I’ve worked with and for businesses of all sizes, and I’m driven by a love for creative and helping others see their full potential.
I have experience thinking up and writing content for a variety of industries — from plumbing products to luxury appliances, mortgage loans to mutual funds. My creative has produced tens of millions of dollars in revenue for the companies I’ve worked for, and now I want to bring that same success to the Tidewater tattoo scene.
Needle Network Creative is my brainchild, and while we’re a small agency (literally one-man) we’re one that values originality, collaboration and community.
I can’t wait to work with you.
