Bare Studio · Tattoo Artistry · Nazaré, Portugal
Bare Studio is a one-artist tattoo studio on the Portuguese coast. The brief was a portfolio site; what we delivered is the studio's entire front office — bookings, deposits, client records, reviews, and a private view of the numbers — running around the clock while the artist does what she actually gets paid for: tattooing.

What was built
Presence
A fast, bilingual site engineered for local search: every page exists in English and Portuguese, and the studio, its artist and its address are described to search engines in the exact structure they reward. Tourists find it in English; locals find it in Portuguese.
Bookings & payments
Clients pick a service, see live availability and book — instantly for consultations, by request for large pieces. Deposits are paid by card at the moment of booking, and a branded confirmation lands in the client's inbox the second the payment clears.
No DMs back and forth. No no-shows on unsecured slots. No chasing money.
Client records
Every booking automatically becomes a client record — name, email, phone. The studio's existing client book was migrated in a single spreadsheet upload, and unsubscribes are honoured properly, so when it's time for a newsletter or a promo, the audience is already there and already opted in.
Insight
A private, password-protected dashboard tracks revenue, expenses, margin and consultations, charted month by month — and attributes every client to the channel that brought them: Instagram, referral, Google, the website, or a walk-in.
Marketing decisions made on numbers, not hunches.
Reputation
Once a week, the studio's latest Google reviews and overall rating flow onto its own testimonials page — automatically, forever. Social proof stays fresh without anyone copying and pasting a thing.
Enquiries
The contact form accepts reference photos and delivers each enquiry as a beautifully branded email — while layered, invisible defences quietly discard the bots. The protection never inconveniences a genuine client: no puzzles, no "select all the traffic lights".
Care
Maintenance mode with a private preview link, consent-aware visitor analytics, and an architecture chosen so the whole platform runs on effectively zero monthly software fees. The unglamorous details that separate a business platform from a template — handled.
