What's inside

Every tool built for tattooing

Built for artists who are tired of making do. Because tattooing deserves its own tools.

Structured booking form

Every request arrives with style, size & placement on a 3D model, reference images uploaded, and availability already collected. You decide, then confirm.

MVP

Scoping & quote engine

Set your rates once. Clients get an accurate price range based on size, style, and placement before they ever hit send. Sticker shock — gone.

Unique

Style-based discovery

Clients search by style, location, and availability — and land directly on your profile. No algorithm. No luck. Just the right clients finding you.

MVP

Flash drops & guest spots

Broadcast available flash to people who want it. Set a date-range for guest spots and let clients book by city — all from the same place.

MVP

Design approval thread

Share your stencil, collect approval, and keep every revision inside the booking. No more hunting through DMs for the version they said yes to.

Version 2

Verified reviews

Every review is tied to a real, completed booking. Not a Google review anyone can leave. Reputation you can actually stand behind.
