Booksy alternative for tattoo artists
Marketplace apps bring discovery — but you rent your clients, pay monthly fees, and fight salon-first booking flows.
Why tattoo artists leave marketplaces
Booksy and Vagaro optimize for salon volume: blowouts, lashes, barber chairs. Tattoo work is project-based — flash sheets, custom quotes, deposits, and multi-session sleeves. Artists want their own URL, their own Stripe payouts, and their own client list.
Studio Haven vs Booksy / Vagaro
- Your brand: `studiohaven.net/s/your-slug` — you own the link
- Price: $0/month for artists; ~$2 client fee at checkout
- No marketplace lock-in: Clients book you directly
- Tattoo workflows: Flash, inquiries, aftercare, healed gallery
- Finance: Tax-ready ledger for GST/HST/VAT
