A tattoo deposit system takes the deposit the moment a client books, so you are not chasing money later. The Hive charges it on card or bank right at booking, and every deposit pays straight to your own account — The Hive never holds your funds. For clients who have no-showed before, escalating deposits step up the amount so a flake costs them, not you. No middleman on your money, and your book and clients stay yours.
Three moves, and none of them involve you sending a "hey, did you send that yet?" text.
The deposit is charged the moment a client books — on card or bank — before the slot is held. No booking without money down.
The money pays straight to your own account. The Hive never holds your funds and there is no middleman skimming the top.
If a client has no-showed before, escalating deposits step up the amount they put down next time. The risk sits with them.
The old way is a slow bleed: you hold a slot on a promise, send a reminder, send another, and either the money shows up the night before or the client ghosts and you lose the chair. Taking the deposit at booking flips that. The money is in your account the second the appointment goes on the calendar — so the follow-up texts, the awkward Venmo requests, and the empty chair on a Saturday all go away.
Every one of these is a real feature — nothing here you can't see in the demo.
Charge the deposit on card or bank the moment a client books. The slot isn't held until the money clears, so you're never chasing it later.
Every deposit pays straight to your own account. The Hive never holds your funds — no middleman on your money, no payout you have to wait on.
Escalating deposits step up the amount for clients who have no-showed before. A repeat ghost puts more down, so the next flake is on their dime.
Your book and your client list are yours — not rented back from a marketplace, and not something that walks if you ever leave.
The Hive never holds your money. Deposits pay straight to your own account, on card or bank, the moment a client books. There is no middleman on your money, and your book and client list are yours — not something you rent back from a platform.
Straight answers to what artists ask before switching.
A tattoo deposit system takes a deposit from the client the moment they book, so you are not chasing money later. With The Hive, the deposit is charged on card or bank at booking and pays straight to your own account — The Hive never holds your funds. Your book and clients stay yours, with no middleman on your money.
Both. The Hive takes deposits on card or bank at the time of booking. Either way the money lands in your own account, not in an account The Hive controls.
Escalating deposits step up the amount for clients who have no-showed before. A first-time or repeat-flake client puts more down up front, so a no-show costs the client instead of costing you the chair time.
No. Every deposit pays straight to your own account. The Hive never holds your funds, there is no middleman on your money, and your book and clients stay yours.
Because the deposit is collected the moment the client books, before the appointment is confirmed. You are not sending follow-up messages or waiting on a Venmo the day before — the money is already in your account when the client walks in.
