Botos WordPress Theme is a creative Tattoo Artist WordPress theme built on Bootstrap 5, fully compatible with WordPress 6.x with Custom Post Type support. It ships with 39 page templates, a filterable tattoo portfolio gallery, a blog module, an artist showcase — all controlled from the WordPress admin and Customizer with zero coding required.

Built for WordPress developers, freelancers, and site owners delivering tattoo artist websites. The theme follows WordPress coding standards throughout: template hierarchy, action and filter hooks, wp_enqueue_scripts for all assets, and a child-theme-ready structure. Every visible element is customisable via the Customizer live preview — no page builder plugin dependency required.
