THE HIDDEN LEAK

Your happy clients are leaving without reviewing you.

The client booked. The artist did the work. The client left happy. Then nothing happens. Most shops don't lose reviews because clients are unhappy. They lose them because nobody asks at the right time.

EVERY MISSED REVIEW COSTS YOU:

  • Google ranking
  • Social proof
  • New client trust
  • Repeat bookings
  • Future revenue

HOW IT WORKS

From waiver to Google review.

The waiver is the first moment your shop captures the client. It's the perfect place to start the review loop.

  1. 01
    Client signs digital waiver
    No paper. Pyrate creates the client record.
  2. 02
    Appointment is completed
    The visit is tied to the right client.
  3. 03
    Review request is sent
    Happy clients get a simple prompt while the experience is still fresh.
  4. 04
    Google profile gets stronger
    More reviews. More trust. More new clients.

THE $300/MO PROBLEM

Why pay $300/mo just to ask for reviews?

Big-name review tools charge $300–$600 per month, lock you into annual contracts, and still don't know your workflow.

THE FILING CABINET

Paper shops spend 3 days digging.

Every shop that still runs on paper has lived it: a client needs to be looked up, and someone burns three days digging through boxes in the back room.

PAPER SHOPS

Boxes & filing cabinets
3+ days
  • Dig through physical boxes
  • Files mislabeled or missing
  • No search, no backup
  • Water damage, fading ink

PYRATE SHOPS

Digital filing cabinet
3 seconds

  • Waivers linked to reviews
  • Cloud-backed, never lost

BAD REVIEW SHIELD

Get in front of bad reviews.

Every review request includes a simple line: "If you didn't enjoy your experience, let me know and I'll see how I can help." Unhappy clients reply to you, not to Google.

  1. 01
    Happy clients go public
    Routed straight to your Google profile to leave a 5-star review.
  2. 02
    Unhappy clients go private
    Their feedback comes to the shop owner instead of being posted.
  3. 03
    You get a chance to fix it
    Make it right before it ever becomes a 1-star review online.
  4. 04
    Your reputation stays protected
    More 5-star reviews. Fewer public complaints. Stronger profile.

REVIEWS ATTRACT TALENT

Great reviews don't just bring in clients.

They bring in tattoo artists. Top artists want to work where clients already trust the shop.

Artists Google you too
When artists look for a new shop, they check your reviews. A strong profile tells them you run a professional operation.
Good reviews = less hassle
Artists want shops where clients are happy, systems are smooth, and drama is low. Your reviews prove that.
Recommendations spread
Satisfied artists tell other artists. Your shop becomes the place people want to work.
You build a team of standouts
Great artists attract great clients. Great clients leave great reviews. The cycle compounds.

Digital Waivers, Done Right

Collect, sign, and store waivers from any device. No paper, no clipboards, no lost forms.

Waivers → Reviews Pipeline

Every signed waiver automatically triggers a perfectly-timed Google review request.

3x More 5-Star Reviews

Built-in review engine that turns happy clients into your best marketing, on autopilot.

THE FEATURE SET

Runs your entire shop.

Money, paperwork, bookings, team and reviews in one app for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Same account, same data, on every screen in the shop.

Almost everything is optional and configurable per shop and per artist. Pyrate fits the deals and habits you already have, then makes them automatic.

01

Waivers, health history & ID

  • Clients sign from their own phone with a QR code or a text. No paper, no clipboard.
  • Health questionnaire flags risky answers in color before the needle comes out.
  • Photograph the client's ID front and back and mark it verified. Waivers and IDs stay on file.
  • Staff attach notes to the waiver: needles, ink, anything the shop needs on record.
  • Signed waivers become PDFs filed under that client forever, locked behind Face ID.
02

Money flows the way you want

  • Every artist signs a digital contract: commission or rent, split, deposit and cancellation rules.
  • Splitting is optional. Route each share to its own bank, or land it all in the shop account.
  • Automatic payroll nightly or weekly, or pay by hand with a full breakdown per person.
  • Managers get paid too: per transaction, percentage or flat.
  • No bank account yet? Their money waits safely in a virtual account until they claim it.
  • Instant payouts in about 30 minutes, plus payout reports as PDF or spreadsheet.
03

Getting paid

  • The phone is the card reader. Tap to Pay takes cards, Apple Pay and phone wallets.
  • Tips built into checkout, and 100% of the tip goes to the artist.
  • Split a bill by dollar or percentage, take partial payments, watch the balance count down.
  • Sell aftercare and merch through the same checkout, with an optional artist split.
  • Cash and outside payments get recorded, so the books show everything.
  • Refund from the record or reassign a payment to the right artist with an audit trail.
  • Payments run on Stripe, the same processor behind Amazon and Shopify.
04

Deposits, if you want them

  • Optional per artist. Require a deposit to book, or don't.
  • Charge the card in person or text the client a payment link.
  • A paid deposit deducts from the final bill automatically.
05

A booking page for every artist

  • Each artist and the shop gets a public page with portfolio, services, prices and reviews.
  • Requests arrive complete: reference photos, placement, size, budget, verified phone, waiver, deposit.
  • Built so Google can read the services, prices and reviews and rank the shop.
  • The shop builds its own name. Artists come and go, the reviews stay.
06

A calendar built for tattoo shops

  • Day, week and month views plus a team overview of who is slammed and who has room.
  • Book exact or loose times: "3:30 Tuesday" or "anytime that week."
  • Reschedule or hand a session to another artist, with an optional message to the client.
  • Busy blocks from an artist's Google Calendar show up automatically.
07

Every session, start to finish

  • Price, placement, size, deposit, waiver, notes, healed photos and aftercare in one place.
  • Statuses for requests, prep, in progress, completed, cancellations and no-shows.
08

Every client, remembered

  • Full profile: contact info, birthday, Instagram, emergency contact.
  • Lifetime spend, visit history, every waiver signed and ID on file under one name.
  • Export the whole client list to a spreadsheet anytime. The shop owns its list.
09

Reviews

  • The review link goes out automatically after a session. Watch it move from sent to posted.
  • Every review maps to the artist and the session behind it, not just the shop.
  • Connect your Google Business Profile and reviews flow in and match themselves.
  • Optional unhappy-review intercept routes private feedback to you instead of Google.
  • Reply to Google reviews right from the app.
10

The owner's view of the numbers

  • Sales by day, week, month or year showing gross and what the shop actually keeps.
  • See all money across every location, or filter to one shop or one artist with a tap.
  • Managers can be given the same power to run the business day to day.
  • Every transaction broken down: tip, tax, split, fees, who got paid what.
  • Weekly or monthly sales summary PDFs, including cash versus card.
11

The whole team on one system

  • Every professional gets the app: their calendar, sessions, reviews and money.
  • An artist who never opens the app doesn't break anything. The front desk runs their book.
  • Real roles: owners and managers see the whole shop, artists see their own book.
12

The front desk

  • On iPad or Mac the app becomes a front desk: team and activity beside an always-open calendar.
  • At checkout the tip screen flips around to face the customer.
13

Set up in under 30 minutes

  • Add each artist in about two minutes, or text them a sign-up link to do it themselves.
  • No switch to survive. Run Pyrate alongside your old system until you're comfortable.
  • Nothing waits on anybody. Unfinished artists still get booked and still get paid.
★BETA

A personal assistant for everyone in the shop

  • Answers client emails, Instagram DMs and booking conversations in the artist's voice.
  • Quotes real prices, proposes real open slots, and files a request you approve with one tap.
  • Holds the deposit on the card. Money only moves when the artist accepts.
  • Remembers every client. Ask "what did you tell Jane?" and get the conversation back.
  • Reads back through Instagram DM history and surfaces leads that fell through the cracks.
  • Sets the shop up from a link: imports services, prices, photos, hours and reviews.
  • Takes orders by text, checks the calendar for conflicts, and can even sketch references.
