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
