Maker here. The problem this started with: a friend runs a tattoo studio and every week pays the same tax — an inquiry sits three days in Instagram's message requests, a deposit gets lost in a Venmo thread, and one no-show on a four-hour sleeve session blocks $400–600 of income. Blackwork is booking, deposits and clients in one place, built for how tattoo shops actually run. Clients book through a link in your bio, deposit policy shown once, in writing. Slots are held by deposits logged the moment they land — cash, card or Venmo — and unpaid deposit-due appointments carry a visible warning until they're paid. The week calendar shows real hours for six-hour sessions. Every client gets one page: placement, references, healed photos, deposit history and multi-session projects. Pricing is the part I'm proudest of: no per-artist tiers, no features locked behind a higher plan. Solo $16/mo, Pro $33, Studio $58 — all with unlimited clients, appointments and deposits. 14-day free trial, no card. And private by design: no analytics scripts, no tracking. A studio's client data describes bodies and permanent plans — it doesn't belong to a dozen ad companies. Would love feedback from studio owners — or anyone who's run bookings for a trade where the session is 6 hours, not 30 minutes.
