I couldn't recommend them more." Justin C. Real Estate Investor "I've been in business 20 years and have never found someone so good at running ads, orchestrating webinars, and setting automations and funnels inside GHL. Chris is an excellent communicator and wonderful to work with. Highly recommended." DJ Thielen Entrepreneur "I've been working with Chris and Thrive Media for over 5 years. They always deliver quality work — from websites and funnels to SEO and paid ads. I've worked with other agencies in the past and they don't compare." Leah V. Business Owner Built around your buyer ## What your tattoo shop website must include Every Thrive Media tattoo shop build comes with the conversion architecture this industry actually needs — not a generic template. ### Per-Artist Portfolio Pages Each artist gets their own bio + portfolio — clients book by style fit, not luck of the draw. ### Consult Intake with Image Upload Reference images, body placement, size, color/black-and-gray — captured before the first DM. ### Deposit Collection at Booking Stripe-integrated deposit on book — kills no-shows, qualifies serious clients. ### Online Booking Square Appointments, Booksy, GlossGenius, or custom — booked directly from the artist's portfolio. ### Aftercare & Policy Pages Aftercare instructions, deposit policy, age requirements — reduces inbox volume dramatically. ### Reviews & Healed Work Google reviews + 'healed work' galleries — the trust signals serious clients look for. ### Guest Artist Calendar Visiting/guest artists with dates, styles, and per-artist booking — built for touring. ### Tap-to-DM & Text CTA Mobile sticky CTA that opens DMs or text — meets clients where they actually book. AI add-on ## Add AI automation to your tattoo shop website build Most tattoo shop businesses lose leads because nobody follows up fast enough. Our AI agents respond in under 60 seconds — 24/7. ### Consult Intake Qualification AI walks clients through style, size, placement, and budget — books only when ready, queues the rest for follow-up. ### Aftercare & Policy FAQ AI answers aftercare, healing, age requirements, deposit, and reschedule questions — frees the front desk. ### Artist Match Recommendation AI surfaces the right artist for the client's style based on uploaded references.
