For tattoo artists & studios
The Hive handles no-shows with escalating deposits, so a client who ghosts once puts up more to book again. Deposits get taken on card or bank the moment they book, every dollar pays straight to your own account, and when a no-show frees a slot The Hive fills it from your whole client history so the chair time does not go to waste.
A ghosted appointment is not just an empty chair. It is a block of prepped time, the outline you already sketched, the deposit conversation you were too busy to have, and the client on your list who would have taken that slot if anyone had asked them. Most booking tools treat a no-show like a calendar event to delete. The Hive treats it like money to recover and time to refill.
The Hive is booking and payments software built specifically for tattoo artists and studios. It is set up around how you actually work: deposits at booking, multi-session pieces around healing windows, and a phone that gets answered while your hands are busy.
Deposits can be taken on card or bank the moment a client books. No chasing, no "I'll get you next time."
A client who no-shows puts up more to book again. Repeat ghosts pay for the risk they create.
Every deposit pays into your own account. The Hive never holds your money.
When a no-show frees time, The Hive fills it from your whole client history so the slot is not wasted.
Reliable clients keep booking on your normal terms. The people who waste your time are the only ones who feel the escalation. That is the whole point: the cost lands on the ghost, not on you and not on your good clients.
You set the terms. Your book and clients stay yours.
A client puts up a deposit the moment they book, paid by card or bank. If they no-show, the deposit stays with you, and the next time they try to book they have to put up more. Deposits escalate with each ghost, so unreliable clients pay for the risk they create.
Escalating deposits mean the amount a client must put down goes up after they no-show. A client who ghosts once puts up more to book again. Reliable clients keep booking on your normal terms; the people who waste your chair time carry the cost.
No. Every deposit pays straight to your own account. The Hive never holds your money, and your book and clients stay yours. You set the terms.
When a no-show frees a slot, The Hive fills it from your whole client history so the time does not go to waste. Instead of an empty chair, the open time gets offered back to people who are ready to book.
Yes. Deposits can be taken on card or bank the moment a client books, and the payment goes straight to your own account.
Watch deposits get taken, escalate on the ghost, and a freed slot refill itself, all paying to your own account.
