Tattoo Booking

More Than a Booking Site.

We build client-filtering systems for tattoo artists. They exist to protect your time — and hand it back to your life outside the studio.

— The Problem → The Fix

Your biggest cost isn't demand. It's the people who were never going to book.

The Problem

Free, unlimited access to your time.

DMs, texts, calls, comments. Serious clients and tire-kickers look identical until you've already burned an hour on both.

The Fix

Structured intake. Deposit before the slot is held.

Real questions up front, money down to lock a date. If someone won't put a deposit on a spot, they were never a booking.

The Result

A calendar that only holds real appointments.

Fewer no-shows, fewer dead conversations, no more playing secretary between sessions.

The Bigger Result

Hours back — permanently.

That saved time compounds. It's not "efficiency." It's dinner at home, weekends, and a life outside the shop.

Tattoo Artist · Bakersfield, CA

Before

Bookings lived in his DMs. Every inquiry meant back-and-forth on sizing, placement, pricing and dates — with no way to tell a real client from someone killing time. No-shows cost him full days.

After

An automated, deposit-gated booking flow. Clients answer the questions he used to ask by hand, then put money down to hold the date. Only serious people reach his calendar — everyone else filters themselves out.

  • Structured intake before any date is offered
  • Deposit required to hold the slot
  • Portfolio organized by placement
  • Client login for appointment details

"It gave me my time back — with my wife, with my son."

Multi-Artist Studio · Detroit, MI

Before

A collective of artists sharing one inbox. Requests came in for whoever was free, nobody knew whose client was whose, and merch orders got handled in the same DMs as consultations.

After

One system routing requests to the right artist, gating appointments behind a deposit, and running the merch storefront separately — so the shop floor stays about tattooing.

  • Per-artist booking pipelines
  • Deposit-gated appointment requests
  • Merch storefront on the same system
  • Booth rental + team inquiries separated

"Every artist gets their own pipeline instead of fighting over one inbox."

Ely Haack

Tattoo Artist · Fort Myers, FL

Before

She had a site built on another platform but was tired of trying to make time for it — and tired of trying to learn a system that never felt like it was built for her business.

After

I took what she had and completely revamped it: a clean portfolio, healed-work archive, and a deposit-gated booking request that filters serious clients before they ever hit her calendar.

  • Full visual revamp from her existing site
  • Portfolio + healed-work archive
  • Deposit-gated booking request flow
  • Mobile-first design that matches her brand

"I was tired of trying to make time for my site and figure out a platform I didn't care about. Tommy took what I had, rebuilt it, and now it actually books clients for me."

Izaya Tats

Artevo · Southpaw Tattoo Studio · Naples, FL

Before

He wanted to take his tattooing career to the next level but his old setup didn't match the vision. He needed a site that looked like his brand and let clients pay the way they actually buy things now.

After

A custom, brand-forward site with his portfolio, story, and a booking flow that includes Klarna and Affirm — so clients can secure their spot without the upfront hit.

  • Custom brand-aligned design
  • Portfolio + artist story layout
  • Booking flow with pay-over-time options
  • Klarna / Affirm / card payments built in

"I had a specific vision for where I wanted to take my career, and I needed people to be able to pay through Klarna and Affirm. Tommy built the site that made that possible."
