How It All Started
Inked began with a simple idea: to bring fans closer to the stories and characters they love through authentic, hand signed memorabilia. What started in 2021 as Steill Memorabilia quickly grew into Inked after founder, Tyler Steill, realized most people could not pronounce his last name. The new name stuck, just like the passion behind it.
Tyler founded the company in November 2021 while recovering from an ACL injury. Stuck in a chair after surgery, he decided it was time to finally chase his dream of starting his own business. Fun fact: he went to his very first autograph signing on crutches, with a friend doing all of the physical labor.
What We Do
At Inked, we conduct private signings and sell authenticated memorabilia across movies, television, sports, books, and more. Every piece we sell comes with a Certificate of Authenticity so you can collect with total confidence.
We are passionate about providing opportunities fans cannot find anywhere else, from securing rare signatures to offering them at prices that do not break the bank. Whether you are buying something for yourself or gifting it to a friend, we want to make it easy to own a piece of what you love.
Our Mission
- Provide access to exclusive signings and authentic memorabilia that fans would not normally have the chance to get.
- Build trust through authenticity, transparency, and community.
- Keep collecting fun because it should always feel exciting to add something new to your collection.
What Makes Us Different
We work directly with talent, sometimes actors who rarely do conventions, to bring you truly unique items. We also aim to beat competitor pricing wherever possible, because collecting should be about passion, not price tags.
Message From Our Founder
“I started Inked out of a love for movies and the memories they create. What began on crutches has turned into a community of collectors, fans, and friends. Whether you have been collecting for years or are just getting started, I want you to know we have you covered.” - Tyler Steill
