// Core Features

// HOW IT WORKS

FROM DM CHAOS TO CONFIRMED BOOKINGS IN 3 STEPS

One booking link collects the details, takes the deposit, and gets the right client onto your calendar without the endless thread.

STEP 01

Replace "DM me" with a booking link.

Works in your bio, on TikTok, your site, and anywhere clients already find you.

STEP 02

Get complete requests, not "hey I want a tattoo".

Collect placement, size, references, budget, and availability before you review the request.

STEP 03

Lock in deposits before the slot is gone.

Clients confirm with a deposit, see real availability, and get reminders automatically.

// Payment Features

Built For The Way
Studios Actually Work

Deposits, splits, booking links, full records — everything a multi-artist studio needs, without any extra tools.

Deposits At Booking

Clients pay a deposit to lock the booking — not full session price at checkout. Configurable per service. Dramatically reduces no-shows. Powered by Stripedeposit payouts to your bank on your schedule. LVL2 never holds your funds.

Revenue Splits & Booth Rent

Running a multi-artist shop? Define custom revenue splits or set booth rent per artist. LVL2 handles recurring rent collection and routes splits automatically.

Booking Link Payments

Send any client a payment link for any session. Works for in-person checkout too — no card terminal needed, just your phone. Money routes through Stripe to your connected account — same trust as deposits.

Full Payment Records

Every transaction logged with client name, service, amount, status, and date. Clean records for your accountant come tax time.

// Cost Comparison

The Math Speaks
For Itself

LVL2's platform fee only applies to deposits — not the full session price. Compare that to what competitors charge on your entire revenue.

The Story

Built By A
Real Artist.

I'm Russell — tattoo artist, photographer, musician. I built LVL2 because I was tired of chasing deposits through DMs, losing bookings to no-shows, and answering the same questions a hundred times.

Every feature in LVL2 exists because I needed it myself. This isn't some Silicon Valley startup guessing what artists want — it's built from the chair, for the chair.

// FAQ

Frequently Asked
Questions

Is LVL2 really free?expand_more

Yes — always free for artists and studios. The Starter plan includes unlimited bookings, client management, and your booking page. You only pay if you upgrade to Pro for SMS automation, priority support, and advanced features.

How do deposits work?expand_more

You set the deposit amount — clients pay that deposit when they book to lock in their appointment, not the full session in checkout. Stripe processes the payment and pays out directly to you. LVL2 never holds your money.

What happens if a client no-shows or cancels?expand_more

You keep the deposit — full stop. Because clients pay to book (not just fill out a form), last-minute ghosts are rare. LVL2BOT also sends automated reminders before the appointment so clients don't forget, which cuts no-shows down significantly.

How does the SMS automation work?expand_more

A client texts LVL2BOT'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.

Can I sync my existing calendar?expand_more

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.

Does it work for piercers, PMU artists, or barbers?expand_more

Yes. LVL2 is built around the tattoo workflow but works for any artist who takes appointments, collects deposits, and manages clients. Piercers, permanent makeup artists, and barbers all use the same booking and intake flow. If you take appointments and hate chasing people, this is for you.

What payment processor do you use?expand_more

LVL2 uses Stripe — the same payment infrastructure trusted by millions of businesses. You connect your Stripe account during setup and payouts go directly to your bank. LVL2 never touches your money or stores card data.

Is my client data safe?expand_more

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.
