Booking software for independent tattoo artists

Studio Haven is a web application operated at www.studiohaven.net. Artists use it to publish flash, collect Stripe deposits, sync appointments to Google Calendar, manage client records, send aftercare, and track tax-ready finances. Clients book through public studio pages without creating an account.

Who builds it

Built with care by Alex & Beth

Studio Haven started at our kitchen table. Beth is a tattoo artist with ADHD. The booking apps out there were built for salons, or they buried the work in tabs, DMs, and follow-ups. Alex is a software engineer. He built the system Beth wanted to use every day: one link, deposits that land in her account, and a calendar that stays in sync without her chasing anyone down. We opened it up so other independent artists can use it too.

Why it's free

Yes. No monthly fee. No per-artist fee. No setup fee. If you have a slow month, you pay nothing. Studio Haven earns a small platform fee when a client books with you, and the client pays that fee at checkout. Booking emails (confirmations, reminders, quotes, aftercare) stay included. Text reminders and email campaigns are optional paid add-ons you turn on only if you want them.

How we make money

• $0 per month, forever. No subscription. No per-artist pricing. No setup fee.
• The client pays the platform fee. $2 added at checkout on bookings. Optional text and email add-ons are separate if you want them.
• Slow month? You pay nothing. We only make money when you make money. Take a break whenever you need to.

How we use Google user data

• Sign in with Google: we read your email and basic profile (name, avatar) to create and match your Studio Haven artist account. We do not access Gmail.
• Google Calendar (optional): when you connect a calendar in Settings, we list your calendars so you can choose one, create/update/delete events only for Studio Haven bookings, and read free/busy on that calendar so clients see accurate availability. We do not read events from calendars you do not select.

Our use of Google user data follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including Limited Use requirements. We do not sell Google user data.
