For tattoo artists
Consults, deposits, portfolio, and aftercare - without the inbox chaos.
The mess
Flash interest, consults, and “how much for a sleeve?” live in three apps. Deposits are awkward to chase. Aftercare is a copied paste. Guest spots scramble a second calendar.
With Hacado
A consult slot with a deposit, a portfolio on your site, and an SMS after the session. Guest-spot days are just another busy block or a second set of hours. You own the client list.

Consults are short and cheap (or a deposit toward the piece). Sessions are long and prepaid enough that a no-show hurts less. Different durations, different payment rules, same customer when they come back for the next sitting.
The site is the flash wall
Galleries and about pages sit next to booking. People who found you on Instagram land somewhere that looks like a studio, not a scheduler widget. Gift cards work for people who want to gift a session without picking the design.
Aftercare should not depend on you remembering
A follow-up template goes out after the appointment. Intake forms collect what you need before they sit down. Auto-matched customers mean sitting two and sitting five are the same person in the book.
