🤕 We know your career & studio management/software pains:

We know the pains of operating a tattoo business, and use computers to alleviate friction, facilitate best in class communication with clients & your team, and ultimately help expand & fufill your potential.

🚶‍➡️Never lose another walk-in or phone inquiry

We're not just selling software we're making sure that you are able to accept every walk-in phone inquiry DM or nearly other major platform save carrier pigeon.

🧍‍♂️ Professional Isolation

Build a thriving tattoo community through integrated social features that connect artists and clients beyond the chair. Share portfolio updates, behind-the-scenes content, and healing progress photos in a dedicated space that fosters ongoing relationships. This creates a sense of belonging that transforms one-time clients into lifelong advocates for your studio.

📲 Social Marketing Anxiety

Automated social media posting and content scheduling takes the pressure off constant online presence while maintaining engagement. Pre-built templates designed specifically for tattoo studios help showcase your work professionally without the stress of creating content from scratch. Analytics dashboards show what resonates with your audience, making future marketing decisions data-driven rather than guesswork.

📅 Scheduling Confusion

Intelligent calendar management prevents double-bookings while optimizing your schedule for maximum efficiency and artist well-being. Time-blocking features account for different service durations, setup time, and necessary breaks between intensive sessions. Clients see real-time availability and can book instantly, while you maintain complete control over your schedule and availability preferences.

🧐 Frequently Asked Questions

Can I afford this?

How is TattooNOW different from Highlevel or the other services just like it?

Think of it like tattoo machines - Highlevel is a a fancy machine amongst a few of the tools we use. I started programming all our own tools in the 90s decades before HighLevel existed, evolved to connecting platforms via API to our system, and now use 4-6 integrated tools backed by Highlevel PLUS our documentation, experience, and weekly meetings. We're like a fractional Chief Technology Officer for artists and studios. Some clients been with us 20+ years! In 5 years we can help evolve your system to the nextlevel. Pun intended! 


I am already using a tattoo studio management system now...

We have years of experience migrating people from all of the different systems. As much information as you can get out of your current platform, we could bring into the new one. We have been at this for decades and will be helping you migrate to the Next system in 4-8 years.
