A CRM built for tattoo studios simple, secure, and artist-first.
Artera CRM is an all-in-one studio management system built for tattoo artists to manage clients, bookings, communication, and workflows in one secure place.
Artera CRM is a centralized system built for tattoo studios to manage clients, conversations, and workflows with clarity and control.
Artera CRM centralizes client information, conversations, bookings, and studio workflows into one intuitive system. It eliminates the need for scattered tools, reduces manual follow-ups, and ensures every interaction is organized and accessible. Built with security and simplicity at its core, Artera CRM helps studios operate professionally while allowing artists to stay focused on what matters mosttheir craft.
Building Artera CRM meant turning complex, real studio workflows into a simple, reliable system without adding friction or restricting creativity.
Building Artera CRM came with unique challenges rooted in how tattoo studios actually operate. Unlike traditional businesses, studios rely heavily on informal communication, manual tracking, and artist-specific workflows. Designing a CRM that could bring structure without forcing rigid processes was a key challenge.
Another major hurdle was unifying scattered data. Client conversations live across WhatsApp, Instagram, calls, and in-person discussions. Bringing all of this into a single, reliable system without losing context or simplicity required careful design and constant iteration.
Security and trust were equally critical. Artera CRM handles sensitive client details, legal documents, and private communication. Ensuring secure access, data protection, and reliability while keeping the experience intuitive was essential.
Finally, avoiding feature overload was a challenge. The goal was not to build a generic CRM, but a focused system that solves real studio problems. Every feature had to earn its place supporting clarity, efficiency, and long-term studio growth.
If you want, I can shorten this, make it more technical, or adapt it into a case study tone.
Artera CRM was built to solve the real operational challenges faced by tattoo studios scattered communication, manual processes, and lack of structure. By focusing on simplicity, security, and artist-first workflows, Artera CRM replaces chaos with clarity, helping studios operate professionally while staying focused on creativity and long-term growth.
The Problem We Set Out to Solve
Tattoo studios today don’t fail because of lack of talent they struggle because of fragmented systems. Client conversations are spread across WhatsApp, Instagram, and calls. Appointments are tracked manually. Consent forms are handled on paper. Payments are remembered instead of recorded. Follow-ups are inconsistent, and important client details often get lost.
This chaos doesn’t just waste time. It affects client trust, studio professionalism, revenue tracking, and long-term growth. Most existing tools weren’t designed for tattoo studios, forcing artists to adapt their workflows to generic software that doesn’t understand their reality.
Artera was created to fix this.
Understanding Real Studio Workflows
Before building features, we studied how real studios operate how inquiries come in, how consultations are handled, how artists manage schedules, and how payments move through the studio. Tattoo studios are dynamic environments. They need flexibility, but they also need structure.
The challenge was not to over-engineer or oversimplify. Studios don’t need corporate CRMs. They need clarity without friction. Every decision behind Artera was guided by one question:
Does this make a studio’s day easier?
How Artera Was Designed
Artera was built as a centralized system where every core studio function works together instead of in isolation. Client management, artist coordination, appointments, payments, invoices, and analytics are not separate tools they are connected parts of one ecosystem.
The interface was intentionally designed to feel clean, intuitive, and non-intrusive. Artists should be able to understand what’s happening in the studio at a glance without feeling overwhelmed by data or forced processes.
Structure was introduced where it matters tracking, organization, and accountability while flexibility was preserved where creativity needs freedom.

Artera brings transparency to studio finances tracking deposits, full payments, pending invoices, and payment methods with clarity and accuracy.

Security, Trust, and Reliability
Tattoo studios handle sensitive information—personal client data, legal consent forms, and financial records. Artera was built with security at its core. Secure access, protected data, and clear ownership ensure studios can trust the system they rely on daily.
Trust isn’t a feature it’s a foundation.

Artera isn’t just software.
It’s the operational foundation for modern tattoo studios.
