For tattoo artists and shops

Everything I know. Packaged for you.

I built this for my shop, then for every artist in it, then for clients and side projects. Now it's one process. A more complete setup, for not much more.

The process

Know it all before you build it.

The same steps I take with business clients. For them, I make it on their build. Yours works the same way.

  1. 01
    App

    Where you're at

    The tattoo audit maps where your shop stands right now.

  2. 02
    App

    How you want to work and look

    Brand clarity. How your business runs and how it shows up.

  3. 03
    App

    Your process, end to end

    Client journey. Every step from first DM to rebook.

  4. 04
    You keep

    A knowledge base

    For any employee, coworker or AI employee. So nobody has to come to you for everything.

  5. 05
    You keep

    The video series

    The platform, start to finish.

  6. 06
    Then

    Build it right the first time

    Ad tracking on every form. Custom values and emails set from the start.

  7. 07
    Optional

    I run my setup files

    For a small fee. Even less work for you.

Flash or a bodysuit

Single-answer solutions are flash.

Think only booking, or a landing page for ads. Pick one off the wall and it looks fine on its own. Stack enough of them and you've got a patchwork sleeve. If you had to choose for your business, which one would you want?

Patchwork sleeve

Every piece from a different artist. Nothing lines up, and filling the gaps gets harder every year.

One plan, one flow. Every piece designed to fit the next one, from the first sketch.

Why this order

Skip it now. Pay for it later.

If you'll track ads someday, it belongs on every form. Skipping custom values or emails feels easier now. Later, it means digging into every page, email and workflow. I help you skip that part.

Why I'm doing this

Tattooing gave me everything.

It found me broke, naked and alone, and it's given me everything I have. I've owned and run Montana Tattoo Company for over 10 years, and I still take appointments most days.

Then I started Lowbrow Know-How. Both needed marketing, so I started LBKH Solutions, and BOLDBooking came out of that.

Wherever you're at, I was there. Now I'm aiming higher, and I want to give everything I've built back to the profession that took me this far.

No gatekeeping. No sugar coating.

How I got here

Every website setup, the long way.

  1. 2011

    My first site

    A friend built it for me.

  2. The move

    WordPress

    The marketers wanted to rebuild it in WordPress. So I learned WordPress.

  3. Then

    Squarespace

    Because who reads a blog anyway.

  4. A few years

    TattooNow

    Went deep. Learned what a tattoo-specific setup can do.

  5. Lowbrow Know-How

    Skool and the rest

    I needed the same marketing for my students. Under the hood, most of it was the same: same features, same release dates, same instructions. A lot of it was LeadConnector with a new logo.

  6. Now

    Full builds

    For businesses from studios to fishing outfitters, and everything in between.

As I see it

The shop should be the agency.

If artists need to step up their marketing, shops need to change too. I call it the 5th ownership style: the shop as the agency. One price for rent, another to advertise and deliver clients.

I'm happy to charge rent, invest in ads, and track who brought in what with the built-in affiliate system. Built by someone who works the craft, not someone "installing" a page and a workflow.

Fix one thing at a time and the road never ends. Set it up right from the start, and you save time, labor and money down the line.

A full build is worth it for the labor it saves you. But if you want to go it alone, I've been there too.

Free tier cost calculator

Free service got your eye? Let's run the numbers.

Life's hard when you're competing with free. But "free" booking apps charge your clients on every booking, and the more you book, the more they take. It gets past $100 a month fast. I just can't bring myself to do you like that.

$97

a month flat, plus usage. Your clients pay nothing extra.

Same price at 5 bookings or 50

Estimates only. Check each app's current terms for their real fees.

  • Your clients pay the fee. Every booking, every time.
  • Their brand, not yours. Your clients book in their app.
  • Built for booking. Not the rest of your business: your site, follow-up and ads.
  • Flat beats a cut. Here, the more you book, the more you keep.

Want a system set up like theirs anyway?

Client-paid fees and all. I can build it for you. I just wouldn't recommend it.
