4 The morning check

Open the app. There's the month.

What came in, what went out, and what you're on pace to keep. The dashboard does the math so you don't open a spreadsheet.

5 Your chair

Walk-ins, regulars, booth rent. Same five seconds.

Plenty of artists never tour and run their whole business here. Set your rate, start the timer, and it does the math for you.

6 Your people

Every client you've tattooed, one book.

Names, pieces, photos, and how long it's been. Filed by city, so when a trip comes together you already know who's waiting there.
