- “What’s the REAL reason clients don’t return to your studio?” - “How often do you message your past clients?” - “Be honest — do you have a client list? Yes or no?”

If your bookings have slowed… even though your work keeps getting better…this video is going to sting a little — but it might save your tattoo career. Because there’s a silent reason your diary feels unpredictable, empty, or “quiet for no reason”…and it has nothing to do with your skill, style, or portfolio. Here’s the uncomfortable truth 👇Most tattoo artists are relying on something that looks like a business system…but was never designed to bring them consistent clients. And until you fix this one invisible bottleneck, you’ll always feel like: • you’re posting constantly with no return• you’re at the mercy of Instagram’s mood• your income swings month to month• you’re doing everything “right” but your calendar still feels dry• you can’t relax because your bookings don’t feel predictable The crazy part? Once you see what’s actually causing it… you can’t unsee it. 🎥 Watch this video and I’ll walk you through the exact reason your bookings keep drying up… and the first steps to fixing it for good. This is one of those “after you hear it, nothing in your business looks the same” moments. Tap play. Your future self will thank you.

🎯 Tattoo Studio Owners: If You're Not Using a CRM… You're Already Losing Money Here’s a question most studio owners avoid asking themselves: “How many clients have I accidentally ignored this month?” Not on purpose. Not because you don’t care. But because your business is running off… memory, scattered DMs, and a vibe. And here’s the uncomfortable truth 👇 **Ink isn’t the bottleneck. Attention is.** Every tattoo business that scales past “busy artist” into “profitable studio” eventually hits the same wall: You can’t grow if you don’t know… Who messaged you Who ghosted Who paid Who cancelled Who’s ready to book Who’s fallen through the cracks Who’s a repeat client Who’s a high-value collector Without a CRM, you’re basically running a six-figure business on a $2 notebook and vibes. And vibes can’t follow up with leads. 😅 --- Here’s what a CRM quietly does behind the scenes: ✨ Turns “I forgot to reply” into automatic follow-up ✨ Turns “slow month” into consistent bookings ✨ Turns “random messages everywhere” into one clean dashboard ✨ Turns lost opportunities into extra revenue—every single week It’s not sexy. It’s not artsy. It’s systems. But systems = scalability. And the studios that get this early? Those are the ones that win. --- 🧩 The Crazy Part? Most owners think “I don’t have time to set one up.” The irony? A CRM gives you back more time than it takes to build. In Inkonomics, we show members exactly how to build a simple, plug-and-play CRM for their studio… —what to track, —how to set automated follow-ups, —and how to turn lead chaos into predictable bookings. Not selling you—just telling you: This ONE change can transform your entire studio. --- Be honest with me… 👉 Are you running your studio with a CRM right now or are you still winging it? Comment below. I’m genuinely curious what stage everyone’s at.

Most people only show the highlights.The wins. The glossy Instagram moments.This isn’t that story. A few years ago, I was at my lowest point: - Cancer. - My health was wrecked. - My shop was hanging by a thread, nearly bankrupt. I remember saying to my wife: “How did it come to this? How can I be this talented, working myself to the bone, and still be staring straight at bankruptcy?” That was the moment I realised: 👉 Art isn’t enough. 👉 Instagram likes aren’t enough. 👉 Hustling harder isn’t enough. You need a system that doesn’t care if you’re ill, tired, or the algorithm turns against you. That’s why I built the Growth Engine. Because I never want another artist or shop to feel what I felt. It’s not about hacks and not about looking busy, its about boring, predictable systems that keep your doors open and your diary full — even when life throws its hardest punches. And when you’re done watching, ask yourself: 👉 If my shop had to survive my worst day, would it? – Alex
