The problem

Why tattoo artists are ditching Instagram DMs & salon apps

01

Hours lost in DMs and e-Transfer chasing

Going back and forth about sizes, dates and deposits eats your week, and unpaid slots turn into no-shows.

02

Salon apps ruin your aesthetic and your margins

Generic hair-salon apps look nothing like your studio and charge $30–$150+/month per artist.

03

Built specifically for tattoo workflows

A session catalog for Flash, Fine Line, Half-Day/Full-Day sessions and Consultations; placement and sizing notes; a Flash Drop banner; and a mandatory Stripe deposit before a slot is locked.

Why switch

Key advantages for tattoo studios

01

Mandatory deposits, no ghosting

A slot is only locked once the Stripe deposit lands in your own account, so no-shows drop.

02

Session catalog built for ink

Flash, Fine Line, Half-Day and Full-Day sessions, and Consultations, each with placement, sizing and reference notes.

03

Solo or multi-artist

Run as a solo artist or add unlimited resident and guest artists, each with their own calendar.

04

Flash Drop banner & Theme Lite

Promote flash drops on your site, and use the Theme Lite /book/ portal for link-in-bio or Squarespace.
