THE DECIDING ROUNDS
Where the fight is actually won.
You're the product
On Tattoodo you're a listing in a marketplace. Clients search, compare, and pick — and Tattoodo takes 20% on every booking they source. With LVL2, clients come to your page. You own the relationship.
Booking is not a business
Tattoodo handles booking requests and deposits. That's it — no merch shop, no POS, no CRM, no invoicing, no marketing. LVL2 runs your entire business; booking is just the beginning.
Marketplace fees add up
Tattoodo's model adds booking and commission costs on platform-sourced work. LVL2 Starter is free forever for artists, and LVL2 only applies fees to client-paid deposits on paid plans.
GIVING TATTOODO ITS DUE
Where Tattoodo takes the round.
Tattoodo has a large consumer marketplace with real search traffic. If you're a new artist building your client base, it can put you in front of people actively looking for tattoo artists in their area. The intake forms are smart, deposit collection works, and no-show protection is a nice touch.
But Tattoodo is discovery and booking — full stop. There's no CRM, no invoicing, no expense tracking, no merch shop, no POS, no marketing automation. Once the client is booked, Tattoodo's job is done. LVL2's job is just getting started. Use the marketplace for eyeballs, LVL2 for the business.
