Apprentice – Tattoo Business Management Platform
Apprentice is a cloud‑based SaaS solution built specifically for tattoo artists, studios, and shop owners. It consolidates every operational need—client booking, flash gallery management, multi‑session project tracking, payment handling, and AI‑assisted design—into a single, clean dashboard.
Key Features
- Self‑service Booking – Artists get a personal booking link; clients can schedule appointments, see live availability, answer custom questions, and pay required deposits without any back‑and‑forth DMs.
- Flash Gallery & Tagging – Unlimited flash uploads, custom tags, visibility controls (public, private, shop‑only) and analytics to see which designs convert best.
- Project Management – Multi‑session pieces are stored as projects with notes, reference images, linked appointments, payment status, and visit history.
- Client CRM – Full client history, automatic profile creation, and receipt generation keep both artist and shop organized.
- Payments & Deposits – Set per‑project deposits, track what’s paid vs. due, generate client receipts, and configure shop payout rules. Future Stripe integration is planned.
- AI Design Tools – Style‑based prompts, concept variations, stencil generation, and direct saving to flash or projects accelerate the creative workflow.
- Shop‑wide Management – Unified booking flow, artist directory, walk‑in waitlist, multi‑artist support, and shared flash libraries keep studios running smoothly.
- Custom Branding – Artists can apply custom themes, logos, fonts, and colors to their public page, presenting a professional portfolio.
