You do the hard part.
We do the website.
You already have the artists and the work. We build the site, the booking flow and the follow-up around it — and you own all of it outright.
Most tattoo shops leak real revenue before a client ever sits in the chair.
Great artists. Loyal following. Full calendars — sometimes. But the systems around the art rarely match the quality of the work.

Four steps between a scroll and a booked consultation.
Capture
We build the content and ad engine that puts your studio in front of the right people every week.
Convert
Traffic lands on a tattoo shop website built to hold attention and take a booking.
Qualify
AI intake understands the client's idea — style, placement, size, budget — and recommends the right artist.
Book
The request becomes a real, organized consultation with automated confirmations, reminders, and follow-up.
You don't have to take my word for it. Here's the work.
Nobody hired me to build these. I picked real shops, found what was actually broken on their sites, and built the replacement on each shop's own logo, palette and photography. They are spec builds — not client work, not commissioned, not paid for. They are here so you can judge the work before you spend anything.
Open any of them. They are the real builds, not pictures of them — scroll them, click through them, open the galleries.

We’ll walk through how it fits your shop and answer your questions.
Ad spend is not included and never passes through us. You pay Google and Meta directly, on your own card, and you set the budget — our fee covers building, running and reporting on the campaigns. The ongoing work runs a six-month minimum, and you own your website outright either way. If you ever leave, you leave with it.
The AI doesn't replace your artists — it prepares your clients.
Clients arrive at every consultation with a clear brief: style, placement, size, budget and a matched artist. Your team spends less time chasing details and more time drawing.
- Structured style & placement questions
- Size and budget captured up front
- Recommends the right artist for the work
- Brief lands with your shop before the consult
This one is live — type into it
A working demonstration. It reads what you type and asks only for what it still needs. Artist names are illustrative — on your site these are your artists.
Better content, without the overhead.
The best work of the week happens in the chair. If nobody filmed it, there is nothing to post, and a feed that goes quiet for a month makes a busy shop look shut.
So the filming stops being a decision. We set the shop up once and the footage comes off sessions your artists were doing anyway.
- 01
What gets set up
Lighting, ring lights, tripods and POV recording rigs go up around the chair — plus Meta glasses recommendations — so a camera is already aimed before anyone decides to film.
- Lighting setup
- Ring lights & tripods
- POV recording rigs
- Meta glasses recommendations
- 02
What the artists do
Press record, tattoo the way you always do, drop the files in the shared folder. The week's checklist covers the rest. Nobody in the shop picks up a second job.
- Filming workflows
- Weekly content checklists
- Shared upload folders
- 03
What comes out
Real footage of real work, every week, handed off to post-production instead of sitting on somebody's phone until it is stale — and no day ever cleared for a shoot.
- Post-production handoff
Rendered, not stock. Every studio site we build gets the same attention — your work, your palette, your photography.
