Moth Chair takes deposits, drops flash, screens tire-kickers, and sends aftercare — so the only conversation left is where the tattoo goes.
Collect a non-refundable deposit before the appointment is real. No-shows forfeit it automatically, and you never have to type 'per my last message' again.
Post a sheet, set the quantity, and let clients claim designs first-come. Sold-out pieces auto-close so nobody double-books your best snake.
Buffers, healing gaps, and 'do not book me before noon' rules baked in. Clients only see the slots you'd actually agree to.
ID check, medical questions, and release form done on the phone before they sit down — not scribbled on a clipboard while you glove up.
Automatic healing check-ins at day 3, 14, and 30, plus a nudge for the healed photo you keep forgetting to ask for.
Past pieces, allergies, deposits paid, and that one time they rescheduled four times — all in a profile you can actually read.
“I used to lose two hours a day answering 'how much for a small one?' Now the deposit clears before I even see the reference photo. My DMs are quiet and my rent is early.”
“The no-show rate at our shop dropped off a cliff. Turns out people show up when they've already put money down. Who knew.”
“Flash drops on Moth Chair sold out my whole Friday sheet in nine minutes. I've never felt more like a concert and less like a small business.”
Start free-ish. Upgrade when it hurts.
For the one-chair operation who is also the receptionist.
For working artists who want the whole book on autopilot.
For multi-artist shops with a front desk and opinions.
