When tattoo demand peaks in San Francisco.
Searches for tattoo shops in San Francisco peak in March at about 6,230 a month and bottom out in December at about 2,920, a swing of roughly 113%. The three busiest months over the last year were March, April and May.
We plan for that: new creative and a higher budget go live a few weeks before March, so campaigns are already learning when demand arrives. In slower months like December, the money usually works harder on retention, rebook reminders and win-back messages to past clients than on chasing fewer searches.
Most US cities we track peak in March for tattoo shops, and San Francisco follows the same pattern.
