You lose bookings when your roster looks incomplete

Not every artist signs up right away — but that doesn't mean clients should see a half-empty shop.

New clients visit your booking page and only see two of your five artists
Someone wants to book your best traditional artist — who isn't set up yet
You're taking DMs and phone calls for artists who don't have a booking page
Your roster looks incomplete even though your shop is fully staffed
You have to turn away bookings while an artist gets set up

Your shop is ready. Your booking page should be too.

How managed artists work

Create a profile, take bookings, and hand it off when the artist joins — it's that straightforward.

1

Create the profile

Add the artist's name, bio, and services. Their profile shows up on your shop's booking page right away.

2

Take and forward bookings

Clients book through your shop as usual. You hold the schedule and pass bookings along to the artist.

3

Attest on their behalf

Your shop handles compliance attestations for the artist until they're on the platform themselves.

4

Artist claims the profile

When they're ready, the artist signs up and claims their profile. The handoff is clean — bookings, schedule, and history all transfer.

Advertise your full team. Capture every booking.

You don't have to wait for every artist to sign up before you put your best foot forward.

Advertise your whole roster from day one

Don't wait for every artist to sign up before you look fully staffed. Add managed profiles and show clients your complete team.

No lost bookings

Clients can book any artist on your page — even ones who aren't on Apprentice yet. You take the booking and handle the coordination.

Works across all your services

Whether your team does tattoos, piercing, PMU, or all three — managed profiles work for any service you offer.

Clean handoff when they join

When an artist finally signs up, the transition is seamless. They claim their profile and take over — nothing gets lost.

A clean handoff when they're ready

When a managed artist decides to join Apprentice, they claim their profile. Everything — their booking history, their schedule, their client info — transfers over. The shop steps back, and the artist steps in.

  • Artist signs up and claims their profile in minutes
  • Bookings and schedule history carry over automatically
  • Shop compliance attestations transfer too
  • No disruption to upcoming appointments

Questions? Answers.

What is a managed artist?

A managed artist is a profile your shop creates for an artist who hasn't signed up for Apprentice yet. Your shop controls the profile, takes bookings for them, and holds their schedule — until the artist is ready to claim it themselves.

Can an artist take over their profile later?

Yes. When an artist is ready to join Apprentice, they can claim their profile. The shop hands it off cleanly — the booking history, schedule, and client info all transfer to the artist's account.

Who handles compliance for a managed artist?

Your shop attests on the artist's behalf for any compliance requirements until they claim their profile. Once claimed, the artist takes on their own compliance responsibilities.

Does this work for services other than tattooing?

Yes. Managed artist profiles work across all services on Apprentice — tattooing, piercing, PMU, and more. Any artist on your roster who hasn't signed up yet can have a managed profile.
