Pilot pricing for the first shops

Part 1: Websites

Three demo shops. Every tool, working.

Made-up shops, real websites. Every clip below is the live site recorded on a phone. Hit “Try it live” to use the real thing right here.

Demo 1 of 3

Graven Hour

Dark blackwork studio. True black, stencil violet, a blackletter headline.

Graven Hour Live demo. Scroll it, tap everything.

  1. A stencil that tattoos itself

    Scroll and a purple stencil on a forearm gets lined, shaded and healed. Visitors watch the whole session in a few seconds.

  2. One design, five styles

    Tap fine line, traditional, realism or Japanese and the same piece redraws in that style, with the artist who does it best.

  3. Fresh to healed

    Drag from day one to fully healed, so clients know what to expect and stop panicking in your DMs.

  4. Artist portfolios

    Flip through each artist's work like a stack of prints, then book with that artist in one tap.

  5. Price estimator

    Pick a spot on the body map and a size, and get a price range before they ever message you.

Demo 2 of 3

Meadowrue

Private fine line studio. Daylight, sage, paper white and one ink color.

Meadowrue Live demo. Scroll it, tap everything.

  1. One line draws the page

    A single needle line draws the flash as you scroll, then traces a real piece onto bare skin.

  2. Placement try-on

    Pick a design and a spot, then size it in real inches. Clients walk in knowing exactly what they want.

  3. Healing timeline

    Slide from day 1 to day 30 and see the piece settle, with aftercare tips at every stage.

  4. Size and price estimator

    Size, detail and placement give an honest range, so the consult starts with the right budget.

One line draws the page

Demo 3 of 3

Lucky Nickel

Loud walk-in parlor. Navy, flash red, mustard and a neon sign.

Lucky Nickel Live demo. Scroll it, tap everything.

  1. Walk through the front door

    The neon sign flickers on, the door swings open and the scroll walks you into the shop.

  2. Flash wall with a ticket

    Tap any piece to flip it for size, price and walk-in today. Claim it and it goes on their ticket.

  3. Live walk-in wait

    A wait meter, open or closed from the real clock, and who's in the shop today.

  4. Color or black and grey

    Tap the flash and the color floods in or drains out, right where they tapped.

  5. Friday the 13th wheel

    Spin or flick the wheel and it lands on a flash piece. It counts down to the next Friday the 13th.

  6. Gift card builder

    Pick an amount and a design, add names and a note, and watch the card build itself.

  7. Hold my spot

    Name, number, artist and party size. They get a number in line and you get a heads up.

Part 2: The booking tool (coming soon)

The Chair Ready booking tool

A request page and a consult screen we set up for your shop. Clients send their idea with a photo measured to real inches, your artists lay their own flash on it, and every client leaves with your price and your deposit link.

What it fixes

  • “How big is that?”Clients send a screenshot and a vague size, and the DM back-and-forth eats your night before you can even quote.
  • Consults that start from guessesNobody knows the real size until they're in the chair, so time, price and placement all get reworked.
  • Deposits chased in DMsPayment links get lost in threads, and fake accounts copy your shop to scam deposits out of your clients.

How a request moves

An early look at the screens. Details may change before launch.

  1. The client sends a measured request

    From your Instagram link or the QR card at your counter, they pick an artist, tap the spot on a body outline, add references and snap a photo with any card held next to the spot. The card turns the photo into real inches, and the card number is blacked out before anything uploads.

    Step 3 of 5: size

    4.0 in2.6 in

    About 4.0 × 2.6 inMeasured from the card. Your artist confirms.

  2. Your artist gets a short brief by email

    Spot, size in inches, style, budget and dates in five lines. One tap to accept, ask a question or decline. Questions go out from the artist and replies land in their own inbox.

  3. Consult on a tablet with your own flash

    The measured photo is already on screen. The artist lays up to three of their own designs on it, compares three sizes, and the client picks. It's plain layering: no AI ever touches or redraws the art.

  4. The client gets a plan with your price

    A private plan page with the chosen design, size, the price your artist approved, your policy and your own Stripe or Square deposit link. The artist sends it from their own phone by text, DM or email.

Questions shops ask

Websites

Are the three demo shops real?

No. Graven Hour, Meadowrue and Lucky Nickel are made-up shops with made-up artists and demo prices, and their art and photos are AI-made. Your site is built from your real work, your flash and your artists.

What does a website cost?

$997 to build, then $20 a month for hosting, care and small edits. We build it and run it for you.

Can I pick the tools I want?

Yes. Take any tools from the three demos, mix them, or ask for something your shop needs. We'll tell you straight if it's a good fit.

Do I need to switch booking apps?

No. Your site works with what you already use: your Instagram, your booking link, your deposit links.

Do you need to come to my shop?

Never. Everything happens by text, email and a short screen share, wherever you are in the US.

Booking tool

Is it AI?

Not where it matters. A short email brief is written from the text the client typed, and that's it. Photos never go to AI, and nothing ever redraws your artists' work.

How close is the card measurement?

Close to real size, from any card-sized card held flat next to the spot. It's labeled “close to real size, your artist confirms,” and the artist always has the final say.

Do my artists rent chairs?

Tell us. Chair-rent shops work differently, so we set it up per artist instead of per shop.

How much will it cost?

Pilot shops get it first at a pilot price and pay nothing until it's working for them. We'll share pricing with the waitlist when pilot spots open.
