Based on how artists in our research interviews were managing their bookings across separate tools.
The problem

One business should not need five separate tools.

Enquiries come in over Instagram DMs. Appointments go in Google Calendar. Deposits are bank links sent over WhatsApp. Reminders are chased manually. Client notes live in a spreadsheet — or someone's head. It works until it doesn't.

How it works

From enquiry to session — sorted.

01
Client submits an enquiry

Share your booking link in your Instagram bio. Clients fill in their brief, references, budget, and availability — no back and forth before you've even spoken.

For artists

Less admin.
More sessions.

Full Chair doesn't make you a better artist. It gives you back the hours you're losing to everything around the work.

01
Never lose a booking in your DMs

Every enquiry lands in one pipeline with the brief, references, placement, budget, and availability already attached. No messages buried. No "sorry, I missed this."

Bookings
02
A booking page that works while you're tattooing

Your own booking link — drop it in your Instagram bio and go. Clients pick their slot, confirm their brief, and you see it in your calendar. No back and forth before you've even decided if you want the piece.

Booking page
03
Stop chasing deposits

Log the deposit in Full Chair when it lands — by bank transfer, Monzo, or whatever you use today. The appointment confirms and the client gets a confirmation automatically. No chasing, no guessing.

Deposits
04
Your client gets a reminder. Without you sending it.

A confirmation reminder goes out automatically 24 hours before every appointment. One less message to remember to send — and one less no-show to absorb.

Reminders
05
Know what you actually earned

Each appointment shows your income after chair costs, so you see your real take-home per session. No more guessing at the end of the month.

Earnings
06
Your clients stay yours

Client records belong to the artist, not the studio. If you move studios, take a guest spot, or go independent, your client history — briefs, references, tattoo history — travels with you.

For studios

One view.
Every artist.
Every chair.

Every artist in your studio gets their own booking page, deposit tracking, and client records. The Studio plan adds what managers actually need on top.

Shared enquiry inbox

All incoming requests land in one place. Assign to the right artist with one click — no WhatsApp coordination.

Multi-artist calendar

See every artist's schedule in one view. Spot gaps, manage conflicts, and plan guest artist slots without asking everyone individually.

Studio revenue visibility

Revenue by artist, chair costs deducted. Know what each person is bringing in — useful for chair rate conversations and planning.

Client records stay when artists move on

When an artist leaves, their client history stays visible to the studio for 90 days. No scramble to recover information.

Why Full Chair

Built for the chair.
Not borrowed from
a beauty salon.

Enquiry-first, not appointment-first.

Most booking tools start with "pick a slot." Tattoo bookings start with a conversation — brief, style, references, size. Full Chair is built around that workflow from the start.

Flat monthly fee. No per-booking charges from us.

Some platforms take a cut of every deposit you collect. With Full Chair, what your clients pay is yours. We charge a flat monthly subscription — nothing more. No percentage, no booking fee, no hidden charges.

Your clients are yours. Not the studio's.

Client records follow the artist. Move studios, take a residency, go independent — your client history travels with you. It was always yours. Full Chair just keeps it that way.

Built by someone at the chair, not outside the industry.

Full Chair came from a real problem. Every feature is something we needed. Every workflow has been tested with real clients. The product is never finished — it ships when the problem is solved.

Built from the inside
"Full Chair started from the admin I saw every day in tattoo studios: missed DMs, scattered references, unpaid deposits, unclear calendars, and client notes living everywhere except one reliable place."

I spent 12 years in digital product — design, data, and technology at Lloyds Banking Group, the AA, and Kore Labs. That background teaches you to spot operational problems clearly and build solutions that stick.

As an apprentice, I could see exactly how much income the artists around me were losing to admin — and I knew how to fix it. Full Chair is built by someone inside the industry, not outside it.

Built from real artist workflows.

We interviewed tattoo artists and studio managers before writing a single line of code. These are their words.

Back and forth over DMs was genuinely one of the most frustrating parts of the job. I hate it so much.

Tess Pokes
Independent artist · Bristol & London

I use SumUp to take card payments but I'm still sending Monzo links over WhatsApp and chasing them up. Half the time I don't know if they've actually paid before they turn up.

Will
Resident artist · East London

I have no idea what's in each artist's books unless I ask them individually. If a client calls to enquire, I'm across three WhatsApp conversations before I can give them an answer.

Studio manager
Private studio owner · East London

All three people we interviewed flagged back-and-forth messaging as a primary frustration with how they currently work.

Questions

Common questions.

Anything else? hello@fullchair.co.uk

Is Full Chair live now? Can I sign up today?
Full Chair is in early access — we're onboarding artists and studios in the UK now. Join the early access list and we'll get you set up within 24 hours. Founding member pricing is locked in for life from the moment you join.
Who is Full Chair for?
Full Chair is for tattoo artists and studios across the UK. Solo artists, apprentices, residents, and studio-based artists use the Solo plan. Studio owners managing multiple artists and chairs use Studio Starter or Studio Pro. Both sides work independently or together.
Does it replace my Instagram DMs for bookings?
Yes — that's the point. You put your Full Chair booking link in your Instagram bio. Clients click it, fill in their brief, references, placement, budget, and availability, and it lands in your pipeline. You stop going back and forth before you've decided if you even want to take the piece.
How does deposit collection work?
You collect deposits the way you already do — bank transfer, Monzo, Sumup, or whatever works for you. Full Chair lets you log and track the deposit against the booking: once you mark it paid, the appointment confirms and the client gets a notification. Stripe-connected online deposit collection is on the roadmap for early access members.
Does Full Chair charge per booking?
No. Full Chair charges a flat monthly subscription — nothing per booking, per deposit, or per transaction from us. Some platforms take a cut of every deposit your clients pay. We don't. Your subscription is the only thing you pay us.
Can I use Full Chair as a studio owner?
Yes — Studio Starter and Studio Pro are built for multi-artist studios. You get a shared enquiry inbox, multi-artist calendar, live floor view (which chair is live, which is available), per-artist earnings reporting, and role-based access for owners, managers, and artists.
Can I import my existing bookings and clients?
Yes. Full Chair supports Google Calendar import (your existing appointments come in automatically), WhatsApp export parsing (upload your .txt export and we extract clients and enquiries), paste-a-conversation (paste any booking thread and we extract the details), and a forwarded email address that turns emails into enquiries automatically.
Is Full Chair UK GDPR compliant?
Full Chair is built on UK-based infrastructure with GDPR compliance in mind. Client data is stored securely, access is role-based, and artists retain ownership of their own client records. If you have specific compliance questions, get in touch.
What happens to my clients if I leave my studio?
Your client records belong to you, not the studio. If you move, take a guest spot, or go independent, your client history — briefs, reference images, tattoo history, notes — travels with you. Your booking link stays yours too. The studio retains read-only access to shared clients for 90 days after you leave, then access closes.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. No contracts, no lock-in, no cancellation fees. Cancel from your billing settings any time and you won't be charged again. You keep access until the end of your current billing period.
Early access is open

Your chair's full.
Your evening's free.
