The platform for running a tattoo studio
Stop running your studio out of your DMs.
Bookings, deposits, consent forms, reminders and reports — plus a page where your clients can see their bookings and map their tattoos. Your name on all of it.

Blackheart is our showcase studio. Test bookings only.
What happens next
The booking lands in your dashboard straight away
As a request for you to confirm, with a notification in the app (and on your phone if you've turned push on).
Your client gets an email confirming their request
With a link to their booking page, which they can open without an account.
Reminders go out before the appointment
Once you've confirmed it: two days before and the day before.
Deposits are requested and tracked
If you take deposits, the email asks for one by bank transfer with your details. You mark it received when it lands, and we chase it if it hasn't by your deadline.
Features
Everything your studio needs
From the first booking to the healed photo: the calendar, the money, the messages and the numbers, with your name on all of it.
Bookings, With or Without an Account
Clients pick a session, artist, date and time on your page. No account needed: they get a link to their booking, and if they sign up later and confirm the same email, their past bookings come with them.
Deposits, Tracked & Chased
The confirmation carries the deposit amount and your bank details. The client taps “I’ve sent it”, you mark it received, and if it hasn’t arrived by your deadline we chase it. You get paid directly — we never touch the money.
Reminders & Aftercare
Reminders go out two days before and the day before, by email, WhatsApp or in-app. Consent forms are signed on their phone before they arrive. After the session you send aftercare, and we ask for a review.
Your Dashboard
Today at a glance: upcoming sessions, requests waiting on you and questions to answer. Plus the month in numbers — page views, bookings, visits that turned into bookings, design fees paid and pending — and every client’s history in one list.
Your Clients Get Their Own Page
Their next session, every booking with its deposit and consent form, their conversations with you and the designs you’ve sent for approval. Once they’ve set a password, they can map the tattoos they already have on a body diagram, photos included.
Your Work, On Your Page
Upload your portfolio and it’s the gallery on your own studio page, with your name, your colours, your prices and your URL. Clients never land in a marketplace full of other artists — they land in your studio.
How It Works
From enquiry to chair, in three steps
Your client’s whole journey, on your branded page.
The enquiry lands
A client finds your page and tells you what they want — as a booking request or an enquiry, with or without an account.
You review and price it
You look at what they've sent and say yes, needs changes, or “I'll draw this one myself” — with your design fee attached. Nothing moves without you.
Booked, deposit tracked
It becomes a booking on your calendar with the deposit recorded against it. If it hasn't landed by your deadline, we chase — and you get a stencil-ready design when you need it.
The Client Journey
What your client gets, from booking to healed
This is the part studios don’t expect. A booking isn’t a calendar entry — it’s eight weeks of contact with your name on every message.
They book
Session type, artist, date and time — on your page, in your branding, without an account if they'd rather not make one.
Confirmation lands, with your bank details in it
The confirmation email carries the deposit amount, your account details and their own payment reference. They also get a booking page they can come back to, with copy buttons on all of it.
They talk to you about it
A real back-and-forth attached to the booking — they send references and ideas, you answer, and it all stays in one thread instead of scattered across DMs.
They work the idea up
A guided eight-step brief walks them through story, style, size and their hard nos. Or they generate designs in your studio's style and send you the ones they like.
They mark where it's going
Placement gets picked on a body diagram rather than typed into a box, and their existing tattoos live on the same map — so you can see what you're working around before they sit down.
Consent form, signed before they arrive
Medical history and a signature, done on their phone from a link. You counter-sign with the agreed price. Nothing printed, nothing lost, and the health answers are deleted a day later.
Reminders, twice
Two days out and again the day before — by email, WhatsApp or in-app, whichever you've switched on.
Aftercare, then a review
You send aftercare when the session's done. Three days later we ask them for a review, and once more a week on if they haven't left one.

Pricing
Two plans. Pick by how many artists.
Solo is one artist. Multi covers three, then a low, transparent rate for each artist after that, up to ten — no jump to a bigger plan when you take someone on. No charge per generation, and no commission on your bookings — clients pay you directly.

Founding rates are for the studios who join early, and stay at that price for as long as your subscription runs — including the per-artist rate, so growing does not move you off it. Paying annually works out at two months free.
Design ideas
Clients can sketch ideas in your style
A client describes what they’re after and sees a rough idea drawn in your studio’s style, guided by the portfolio you’ve uploaded. It’s a starting point for the conversation, not the final design — nothing becomes a booking until you’ve looked at it.

FAQ
Common questions
No. Setup is four short steps: name your studio, optionally point us at your existing website so we can pull your details across, pick the styles you work in, and set your AI assistant's tone. You'll have a live studio page at the end of it. Uploading your portfolio comes afterwards, in your settings, whenever you've got the photos to hand.
Frewstar Studio includes its own booking calendar, with session types, deposit tracking and reminders. If you'd rather keep the system you've got, you can point bookings at it instead — clients still use Frewstar Studio for the enquiry and design side and book through your existing flow.
Yes. A client can book from your page with just their name and email address. They get a link to their booking — session details, the deposit and your bank details, and the conversation with you — which works without signing in. If they create an account later and confirm the same email address, their earlier bookings are added to it automatically.
Their own page, with their next session, every booking they've made with you (with its deposit and consent form), their conversations with you, and any designs you've sent them to approve or ask changes on. They can ask to move a session and you decide. Clients who set a password can also keep a body map of the tattoos they already have, with photos — which you can see from their booking before they sit down.
You get paid directly — we never touch the money and take no commission. You set your deposit and design fee once; we show each client what to pay and how to pay it, record it against their booking, and chase them if it hasn't arrived by your deadline. When it lands in your account, you mark it received. Taking card payments inside the platform is on the roadmap and isn't built yet.
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and client information belongs to your studio. We never sell it and never share it with other studios — your clients, your designs and your style profile stay yours. Generating a design does mean sending the prompt and any reference image to the AI providers we use, Google and Replicate, because that is what produces the image; they process it on our behalf, and nothing you upload is used to train models for anyone else.
It's guided by your portfolio rather than trained on it, and the difference is worth knowing. We look at each piece you upload and describe it — line weight, shading technique, composition, palette, the subjects you actually tattoo — then combine those into a single description of your studio's style and hand it to the image model as a hard constraint on every generation. The more of your work you upload, the more precisely we can describe it. It gets close to your look; it isn't a copy of your hand, and nothing a client generates becomes a booking until you've reviewed it.
