LVL2 runs on deposit-first booking — the appointment isn't confirmed until the deposit hits, so no-shows die. Built by a working tattoo artist, not a SaaS committee guessing at the workflow.
Join 500+ artists already using LVL2.
WORKING ARTISTS, REAL RESULTS
Every booking collects the deposit before I even open my messages. My calendar finally pays for itself before the appointment starts.
I used to spend two hours a night typing prices into Instagram DMs. Now clients book straight off my page and I just show up to tattoo.
No-shows used to eat a full day every week. Since clients pay a deposit to hold the slot, that day is back.
The standard
The toolkit
No more losing booking details in DMs. Clients submit structured requests — references, placement, timing and contact details — so you can approve the right work faster.

THE TATTOOER'S CHOICE
We know what it's like to spend 4 hours a night answering DMs only for half of them to ghost. LVL2 was designed to solve the specific pain points of being a professional tattoo artist in 2026.
See the numbers behind that claim in the founder case study — 12 hours a week back from booking DMs, and an explicit list of what LVL2 refuses to claim.
Built-in messaging
Clients message you across every platform. LVL2 pulls those conversations into one inbox — answering the usual questions, turning inquiries into booking requests, and sending the reminders so you never lose a lead.
Every plan includes every LVL2 feature. Plans differ by the booking fee your client pays on the deposit, support, and the merch fee — a share of profit, never of the order total.
// STARTER
Client-paid booking fee on deposits9.9%
Free. Your client pays a 9.9% booking fee on the deposit — that's the only fee. Starter and Plus include the same LVL2 feature set.
// PLUS
Client-paid booking fee on deposits4.5%
$39/mo with a lower 4.5% booking fee on client deposits. Starter and Plus include the same LVL2 feature set — Plus simply lowers your deposit fee as your booking volume grows.
// PRO
Client-paid booking fee on deposits0% (Stripe only)
$99/mo. Your clients pay a 0% booking fee on deposits. Merch takes 10% of profit, and you get a direct line to the team.
Owner reports + CSV exports are available now. Any future payment charges will be shown before payment.
Starter is free forever — no card, no monthly fee — and deposit-first booking is part of it. Your client pays a 9.9% booking fee on the deposit. Plus is $39/mo and drops that to 4.5%. Pro is $99/mo and removes the LVL2 booking fee entirely, so deposits carry Stripe processing only.
Deposits are live on every plan, Starter included. The client picks a time, pays through your booking flow, and the money lands in your connected Stripe account. The booking fee on the deposit is the client's, not yours: 9.9% on Starter, 4.5% on Plus, and none on Pro.
LVL2 keeps the request, schedule, reminders, and client thread organized so you are not relying on a DM pile. Payment-backed protections return after replacement processing is live.
A client texts LVL2b0t's dedicated number and it takes it from there. Through a natural text conversation, it collects everything you need — placement, size, style, references, availability — and submits the completed request to you automatically. The client never has to open a link or fill out a form. They just text back.
Yes — 2-way Google Calendar sync is built in. Your LVL2 availability stays in sync with your personal calendar automatically. Clients only see your real open slots — zero double-bookings, zero conflicts.
Yes. LVL2 is built around the tattoo workflow first — you keep one artist account for life. A studio is a group you join or open on top of it, with a roster, a walk-in queue and shared reporting, and your own booking page carries on exactly as it was.
LVL2 runs on Stripe Connect. Deposits collect at booking and land in your connected account. Instant payout is available at 2.5% when you do not want to wait for the standard schedule. Every charge is shown before you pay anything.
Yes. Your client list is yours — we never sell it, share it, or use it for anything other than running your account. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. You can export your full client database at any time.
Claim your handle and take deposit-first bookings today. Free for artists, and it grows with you if you ever open a studio.
