Behind every tattoo is a
mountain of admin.

You never clock out

The DMs don't stop when the chair empties. There's no off switch on your own business.

30+ email chains per piece

Quoting, chasing, rescheduling — the same back-and-forth, over and over.

Your inbox is the booking system

It was never built for it. Leads slip through, details get lost.

Invoices, taxes, orders, mailing lists

A whole admin job stacked on top of the one you trained for.

That "quick" post ate half a day

Marketing, content, replies — hours gone before you pick up a machine.

Sick = £0, no floor

Miss a day and there's nothing underneath you. The risk is all yours.

Here's what STENCIL kills today

Every job below is something you currently do for free, after the chair empties. STENCIL does them for you.

Pencil answers, you don't.

Instant quotes from your own rates, 24/7. The DM thread becomes a booking, not a second job.

kills → “the inbox is the booking system” · 30+ quoting & chasing email chains

One flow, start to booked.

Enquiry → instant estimate → deposit → confirmed slot. One link replaces the WhatsApp-and-spreadsheet juggle.

kills → “a small business run on a phone between sessions”

Deposits up front.

Pencil takes the deposit before the slot is held, so the “how much?” discussion is cleaner with the client — a cancellation or a no-show isn't a £0 day.

kills → no-shows and last-minute cancellations that cost you the day

Payments built in.

Card payments securely and automatically handled by Stripe, straight to your account — no invoice to draft, send or chase.

kills → “invoices, by hand”

0% commission. What you earn is yours.

Most booking tools take a percentage of every booking. STENCIL never does. One small flat fee, not a penny of your work. We kill the admin; the art stays yours.

kills → the clean differentiator — no one else's cut, no fine print

You spent years learning to tattoo. Not to run an inbox. STENCIL runs the inbox.

Everything a studio has, just for you. Tools most studios don't even have.
