Hey! I'd love a fine line piece on my forearm. Is Mara taking bookings?
23:40
Hi Alex! Yes, she is. Lovely choice. Do you have a reference image and a rough size in mind?
23:40
About 10cm. Something like this, but a little softer.
23:42
Got it. I'll put a brief together for Mara. Shall we find you a consultation?

Sound familiar?

01 / THE INBOX

DMs at midnight.

You’re answering “how much?” when you should be switching off.

02 / THE CHASING

Deposits chased by hand.

Another message. Another reminder. Another gap in the diary.

03 / THE AFTERCARE

Aftercare on a printed sheet.

You care about how it heals. The paper usually ends up in a pocket.

A steady hand, behind the scenes

What Steadyhand does.

All the little things that make a good studio feel well run.
Taken care of, without another thing for you to manage.

“I used to finish a full day in the studio, then start another one in my inbox. That’s the bit I wanted back.”

Jess, studio owner

Fern & Field Tattoo · Bristol

“Clients get a proper answer. I get a proper brief. Nobody’s waiting for me to put the machine down.”

Tom, studio owner

North Room Tattoo · Manchester

“The best bit? It still feels like our studio. Our words, our calendar, our money.”

Illustrative examples from fictional studios. Real stories to follow.

A few fair questions.

Anything else on your mind? Let’s talk.

Do I have to change my booking tool?

Not necessarily. We start with what you already use and agree the right connections for your studio. Your calendar stays yours.

Do you take a cut?

No. No commission on bookings, and no cut of card payments. Deposits go directly to your own payment account.

Who writes the messages?

We work with you on the tone, answers and studio rules. You approve them. We run the front desk and keep the messages tuned, with anything that needs an artist passed back to you.

What about GDPR and consent forms?

We agree what information is needed, who can access it and how long it should be kept. Your studio approves its own consent forms. We link to records in your accounts rather than building a separate copy. We’ll discuss the data-handling terms before you join.

What happens if I stop?

Your money, mailbox, calendar and files remain in your own accounts. We disconnect Steadyhand and hand back the journey. Easy to join, easy to leave.

Is it live now?

You can explore the demo now. Book a call to check current availability and talk through what setup would look like for your studio.
