FAQ

Pricing & Investment

What do the services actually cost?

• The studio systems, custom systems and consulting services have prices that vary depends on your needs. Some need only a small system and others need bigger and more complex systems.
  When we have completed your free discovery call - I will set up an offer which you can review before you accept anything.
  Regarding studio system setups and custom systems - you can choose either a one-time purchase or on a subscription basis, if you’re not up a for a bigger one-time purchase.

• Consultation has an hourly rate of 625 kr. pr. started hour incl. VAT.

Is there a minimum commitment?

• If you accept any of the systems as a one-time purchase (Custom system or Studio Systems), a deposit of the system will be 50% of the price - and the last 25% of the price halfway the completion of the system, and the remaining 25% right upon delivery.

• If you accept any of the systems on a monthly basis - the minimum commitment is the current month.

• Consulting is on hourly basis and has no minimum commitment other than the time I use.

What's included in the base price vs. add-ons?

• If you have a system already - and you’d like add-ons :
• Smaller add-ons that take less than 2 hours, you’ll pay hourly. Typically range from 625 to 1100 kr.
• Bigger add-ons - you’ll be quoted on a project price. Typically range from 3500 to 25000 kr.

• Notion has their own price tiers and you can find them here : Notion Pricing Plans: Free, Plus, Business, & Enterprise.
• I’d recommend the Plus subscription, but if you want even more benefits then I’d recommend the business plan, since it includes a powerful AI feature.
• You need to pay for Notion separately and is optional depends on what type of system you’d like to get. (If you’d like a monthly subscription with me as host - then you don’t need to pay for Notion, since you will be riding on my subscription.)

Technical & Practical Concerns

I've never used Notion. How steep is the learning curve?

• No. I will provide you a guide in how to use your new system to the fullest.
  The guides will have roadmaps in what you need to do in order to use it fully.

Can this integrate with my existing tools?

• No. Depends on your current systems, you can enforce your operations with Notion.

• It can be synced with Google Calendar and other calendars, since Notion has it’s own calendar system, whereas you can collect all of your calendars in one.

• I can help you transferring your client database and import it into your new system.

• The system will have easy to manage databases, where you can handle the information regarding your bookings. While you’re texting your client - you can easily add as much information you’d like from your chat to Notion via. copy-pasting or screenshotting.

• You can experience you’ll need less tools with Notion, since its flexible features can often save you money on other tools.

What about mobile access?

• Yes. The systems are fully accessible on any device and is usable, when you’re at a convention or guest spot as long as you’re on the internet. (Wi-Fi or data)

About the REACH/SDS System

I don't fully understand REACH compliance. How serious is this?

• In Denmark you can get fined and with multiple violations - either a hefty fine or potential shutdown of your business, if you do not keep track of the REACH requirements.

What if I only use 3-4 ink brands?

• The brands you use often offers multiple types of inks. The portal makes it easier for you to access compliance documents and choose which ink matches your values.
  The inks will have a connected SDS, which you can download and either put into a folder, or locate them into your booking system (if they have an ink inventory with file upload, which my custom systems do)

Is this only for EU-based artists?

• You can also use this outside of the EU. The solutions focuses on EU REACH compliance, which is most relevant for EU-based work, but you can access the system and your ink data anywhere - including when travelling to conventions outside the EU.

• Look at it this way: If you’re based in the US - you’ll find it to be easier to adjust if you ever wish to guest a shop or more within the EU.

Results & Expectations

How long until I see results?

• You’ll see immediate benefits once the system is live and fully implemented into your workflow - no more scrambling for client info or missing bookings.
  Within the first month, more clients report saving 2-4 hours per week on admin tasks.
  The financial impact (more bookings, fewer no-shows, higher client retention) typically becomes noticeable within 2-3 months as you optimize your workflow.
  Like any new system, the more you use it, the more efficient your time becomes - I saw my admin time drop by 40% after 3 months of consistent use and gradually evolving the workflow to fit my needs.

What if the system doesn't work for me?

• Your satisfaction matters to me. If within the first month the system isn’t meeting your needs, we’ll schedule a review session (at no extra cost) to troubleshoot and adjust.
  For subscription-based systems, you can cancel at anytime with just the current month’s notice - no long-term lock-in.
  For one-time purchases, if after the training period on 3 months you feel the system fundamentally doesn’t fit your workflow, we’ll discuss a partial refund or system modification.
  My goal is to build something that truly works for you, not just deliver and disappear.

Do you have more detailed case studies?

• Currently, the detailed case studies on my site include qualitative testimonials from Tilja and Inga. I’m working on developing more quantitative case studies with specific metrics.
  What I can share now: My own 30% client increase and 40% reduction in admin time (as mentioned above), and feedback from clients like Inga, who reported finally having a system that understands tattoo artists needs. If you’d like to speak directly with past clients during your decision process, I’m happy to facilitate introductions with their permission.

About You

How long have you been tattooing?

• I am still tattooing clients in a manageable pace. My body can’t tattoo full-time anymore, but I can do it in a controlled manner without burning out. My solutions help me do that. Introduced to the craft in 2017 - apprenticed in 2021 - 2022.

What's your studio like?

• I rent a booth at I-Ink in Hedehusene in Denmark and compared to before I had these systems I handle more clients now with my systems. My client numbers have risen with 30%.

Why should I trust your finance advice?

• My finance degree leans towards both private financial strategy, bookkeeping and business optimization, which is complemented by my bachelors in Innovation and entrepreneurship. In my full-time job I work as a financials associate in a government funded institution.

• Furthermore - I have a specialization in both Data Analytics, Machine learning and Cybersecurity, which in turn makes me focus on what works and what is safe regarding the digital world and AI as well.

Implementation Concerns

What do I need to prepare before we start?

• Upfront - not much. The discovery call is designed to assess your needs first. After we agree on a plan, I’ll give you a simple checklist of what would be helpful (required and not required points) to have ready. If you’re unsure about how to aquire a point or two - I can look into it with you.
  For most systems, this includes:
• A list of your current ink brands and colors if you want an Ink registration System.
• Any existing client contact information you’d like to migrate
• Examples of your current booking / consent forms if you have them.
Don’t worry about organizing everything perfectly - we’ll work through it together during implementation.
The goal is to build around your reality, not require you to have everything sorted first.

Will this disrupt my current bookings?

• No. The systems will be implemented alongside your existing workflow, not as a replacement from day one. You’ll continue using your current booking methods, while the new system is being built and tested. Once it’s ready and you’ve been trained, we do a gradual transition - you can run both systems in parallel for as long as you need until you feel confident.
  Most clients transition fully within 1-2 weeks of the system going live. I won’t leave you in a position, where you’re scrambling or losing bookings - that defeats the entire purpose of having better systems.
  In other words - I stay with you for up to 3 months as a training period.

What if I get stuck after the training?

• Support is included for the first 3 months after delivery - you can reach me via mail or messaging with questions, and I typically respond within 24 hours (often faster). For quick clarification or system questions, there’s no extra charge during this period. After the initial training period, ongoing support is available on my hourly consulting rate (625 kr. pr. started hour). Most clients find they rarely need paid support afterwards because the guides are comprehensive, but it’s there if you need it. If you’re on a subscription-based system with me as host, support is included as long as your subscription is active.

Can I see a demo first?

• The discovery call serves as a demo opportunity - I’ll show you examples of system layouts and walk you through how similar setups work for other artists (without sharing their private data, of course).
  I don’t offer full system demos before the assessment because every system is customized to individual needs, so showing a generic version wouldn’t accurately represent what you’d get. However, you can see real examples on my case studies page, and during the discovery call, we’ll discuss exactly what your system would include. The discovery call is free with no obligation - think of it as both a needs assessment and a chance to see if we’re a good fit.
