Sound Familiar?

You became a tattoo artist to create. Not to run a business alone.

Every night you’re answering the same DMs, chasing deposits, and watching clients disappear between sessions. You’re not bad at business. You just need the right tools.

Clients ghost between sessions.

You do great work. They leave happy. Then six months pass and they never rebook. Not because they went elsewhere — they just forgot.

Your inbox is running your life.

DMs, texts, emails — all asking the same questions. What's your price? Do you do color? You're a full-time artist and a full-time receptionist.

No-shows cost you everything.

No deposit. No reminder. No system. Just a blocked-out day and an empty chair that cost you $400 you'll never see.

BBS replaces all of it.

Everything You Need

One login. Your entire business.

Every tool built specifically for tattoo artists. Nothing you don’t need. Everything you do.

The AI Layer

Three AIs. Working for you, as you, with your clients.

Every other tool bolts on a chatbot and calls it AI. We built three purpose-trained AIs that handle the parts of your business you shouldn’t have to think about — so the work stays the work.

AI as you

Brand DNAi

Trained on your voice. Speaks to your clients like you would.

Brand DNAi learns how you actually talk to your clients. The slang, the warmth, the directness, the way you sign off. Then it drafts consult replies, follow-up messages, and aftercare check-ins in your voice — so you can review and send in three seconds instead of writing every message from scratch.

  • Trained on your past messages and style
  • Drafts consult replies, follow-ups, aftercare check-ins
  • Powers your Ink in Bio page copy
  • Works across the win-back system
  • You review and approve every send — never autonomous

Generic AI

“Hello! Thank you for reaching out about getting a tattoo. I would love to discuss your ideas further. Please let me know your availability.”

Brand DNAi

In your voice

“yo, love the ref — floral half-sleeve is exactly my wheelhouse. i’ve got openings late next month, want to lock a consult?”

AI for you

Jarvis

The studio manager you never had to hire.

Jarvis runs in the background of your dashboard, surfacing the things you should know — without making you dig for them. Deposits aging out. Clients ready for rebooking. Flash drops underperforming. A consult sitting too long without a reply. The studio's daily attention list, automatically curated.

  • Surfaces aging deposits, lapsed clients, and stuck consults
  • Daily attention list when you open the dashboard
  • Flags revenue patterns and trend changes
  • Suggests next actions, never takes them autonomously
  • Learns what you act on and what you ignore

AI for your clients

Profile Chatbot

Books consults while you’re in the chair.

Your public profile page comes with a built-in AI that talks to prospective clients 24/7. It answers questions about your style, rates, availability, and process. It qualifies the lead. And when the client is ready, it books a consultation directly into your calendar — deposit collected, consent form sent, all before you ever see the DM.

  • Lives on your custom profile page (and Ink in Bio)
  • Answers questions about style, rates, availability, and process
  • Qualifies leads (size, placement, timeline, budget)
  • Books consults directly into your calendar
  • Collects deposits and triggers consent forms automatically
  • Trained on your specific work, rates, and process

BBS is for

Built for the way you already work.

Independent Artists

Solo. Touring. Booth renter. Just got your license. You run your business yourself and want a system that respects your time and your craft.

Small Studios2–4 artists

Running a shop or a private studio with a small team. You need shared client management, individual artist pages, and a way to see what the whole studio is doing without micromanaging.

Apprentices

Day one with a machine. Start free for your first 6 months — build the foundation before you go full-time, so the systems are in place when you’re ready.

If you’re cutting corners with Square, Calendly, Venmo, and Instagram DMs — BBS replaces every one of them.

Founding Artists

Currently inviting 10 founding artists to shape the platform with us.

We’re partnering with select artists to build BBS the way the industry actually needs it. Founding artists get lifetime access, direct input on the roadmap, and revenue share on referrals.

Questions, answered

Before you start.

  • Square is built for retail. Calendly is built for sales meetings. Instagram is built for posting. None of them know what a consult, a deposit hold, an aftercare cycle, or a flash drop is. BBS is built specifically for how tattoo work flows.

  • The first 250 artists who upgrade to a paid plan keep their price forever. As long as you stay subscribed, you never pay more — even when we raise prices for everyone else. After 250 spots, the rate goes to standard pricing.

  • Import them in two clicks. Past sessions, contact info, notes. They get a one-time email letting them know your booking lives somewhere new, with a link to your BBS page. No client gets lost.

  • BBS is mobile-first. Most of your work happens between clients, on your phone, in 30-second windows. Every feature works on iPhone and Android — the dashboard, the booking flow, Brand DNAi message review, Jarvis attention list, the profile chatbot admin.

  • 15-day free trial. No card required. Cancel anytime — your data exports cleanly. No lock-in.

  • No. You keep 100% of session revenue. Stripe takes their normal payment processing fee (which is your fee, not ours). Your subscription is your only cost to us.

  • You set your real availability — the chatbot only books inside windows you’ve opened. If your schedule changes, mark the slot unavailable and the chatbot stops offering it instantly. You can also require manual approval for every booking the chatbot proposes if you want the safety layer.

  • No. Brand DNAi learns your writing style from samples you provide. Your client conversations are never used to train any model. Your data is yours, never sold, never used for anyone else’s AI.

  • Apprentices start free for 6 months. Set up your booking link, get your first clients tracked, build the foundation now so when you go full-time everything is already in place.
