How TattooNOW works
Quick overview before we dig into the detail:
Missing Walk-ins?
Spam Calls?
Pricey Platforms?
Social Media?
Here's What We See Every Single Day
After two decades in this industry, we know exactly where studios lose money, time, and sanity.
You're the Artist, the Receptionist, and the IT Department
Sound Familuer?
Running bookings through Google Calendar or Acuity.
Sending emails Mailchimp, or not sending them at all!
Maybe scheduling posting with Later or Hootsuite?

None of it talks to each other. Your DMs are a mess, you're still answering the phone between sessions, and now you're about to hire your third social media manager, hoping this one finally sticks.

Five Platforms That Don't Talk to Each Other
Take a look at your current stack:
Instagram DMs for inquiries
Acuity or Calendly for booking
Square or Venmo for deposits
Mailchimp for the email list you never send to
A Google Voice number you check when you remember
Every new tool is another silo, another login, another thing that doesn't connect to anything else.
You've Bought the Platforms. It's Still Not Working.
There are ad brokers out there who genuinely understand attribution and statistics and can show you exactly how your ad spend is returning.
You probably clicked on one of their ads to get here.
But great ads plugged into a broken system still won't fill your chair. Someone needs to connect the dots:
The landing page
The follow-up sequence
The booking flow
The nurture campaign
We hire the ad experts and then build the infrastructure around them so every dollar you spend actually turns into deposits.
We're Not a Marketing Agency. We're Your Fractional CTO.
Think of us as the technology department your studio deserves but could never afford to hire.
We started building custom tools for tattooers in the 90s. Today we leverage enterprise-grade platforms to build you a business machine that actually works.
This isn't a course. This isn't a template. This is done-for-you technology and marketing infrastructure built by people who have:
Owned multimillion-dollar studios
Run international tattoo conventions
Assembled an advisory board with 200+ combined years of tattooing and studio ownership
Frequently Asked Questions about Tattoo Business Software
Everything you need to know about TattooNOW
Can Tattoo Artists afford
Management software packages range from $99 to $399 a month and save hours of time while bringing in both more repeat and new business. Most clients see ROI within the first month through reduced missed appointments and increased bookings. Live strategy sessions and 1 on 1 availability until your package has a positive return.
How is TattooNOW different from HighLevel or similar services?
Think of it like tattoo machines—HighLevel is a fancy machine amongst the tools we use. We started programming our own tools in the 90s, decades before HighLevel existed. We 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, not just a software platform. Some TattooNOW websites have been with live 20+ years!
I'm already using a tattoo studio management system...
We have years of experience migrating clients from all the different systems. As much information as you can get out of your current platform, we could bring into the new one. Chances are we have experience migrating from your current platform. We've been at this for decades and will be helping you migrate to the next system in 4-8 years too.
What if I'm not tech-savvy?
That's exactly why we exist! We truly enjoy helping tattooers navigate the computer world so that technology can save them time instead of creating headaches. Plus, if you ever need help, call US, and if we can't help directly WE call tech support on your behalf—you never have to deal with hold music again.
Are there any contracts or commitments?
No contracts—cancel anytime. We're confident you'll love the service, but we never want to trap anyone. Our goal is to earn your business every single month by providing real value.
How quickly can I get set up?
Simple solutions like IVR or the Post Scheduler can be set up in less than 30 minutes. Full management software typically takes 1-2 weeks to fully customize and migrate your data, with ongoing weekly sessions to optimize your workflow.
What are the additional costs aside from the TattooNOW Subscription?
