How Tattoo Studios Can Increase Profit on Every Payment with Revify

Here Is How Revify Is Revolutionizing Payments for Tattoo Shops.

In the tattoo industry, “time is money” isn’t just a saying—it’s the literal economic reality of your business. Whether you are charging by the hour or by the piece, every dollar that comes across the counter represents your physical labor, your artistic skill, and the overhead of running a sterile, professional shop.

Yet, thousands of tattoo studios across the country are unknowingly suffering from a financial "bleed" that no bandage can fix. It’s not caused by slow foot traffic or cancellations. It is caused by your payment processor.

For decades, the standard in the industry has been to accept that 3% to 5% of your hard-earned revenue will simply disappear into the pockets of big banks and legacy processors every time a client swipes a card. For a high-volume shop, this can amount to the cost of a new station, a guest spot trip, or a significant bonus, vanished into thin air.

Revify is here to stop the bleeding. We believe that tattoo artists deserve to keep the value they create. We offer a radical alternative: a payment processing solution that not only eliminates fees but actually pays you a monthly profit for using it.

Why Tattoo Studios Lose So Much Money with Traditional Processing

To understand the solution, we have to look at the math of the problem. Tattooing is a "high-ticket" service industry. Unlike a coffee shop selling $5 lattes, you are processing transactions in the hundreds or thousands of dollars.

The "Silent Tax" on Your Art

When you run a standard transaction through a legacy processor (like Square, Stripe, or a traditional bank terminal), you are typically charged a variable percentage plus a flat transaction fee.

Let’s break down the math on a typical busy Saturday:

• The Session: You finish a 6-hour piece priced at $900.

• The Fee: At a standard 3.5% rate, your processor takes $31.50 instantly.

• The Reality: That $31.50 isn’t just "change." That’s boxes of gloves. That’s ink caps. That’s lunch for the shop.

Now, multiply that across five artists in a shop, working 5 days a week. The shop isn’t just losing $30; it’s losing thousands of dollars a month. This is a massive leak in your profit margin that most owners have been told is just the "cost of doing business."

At Revify, we reject that premise. You shouldn’t have to pay a penalty just to get paid for your work.

Flipping the Script: Keep 100% of Your Hourly Rate

The first step to increasing profit is stopping the loss. Revify allows tattoo studios to transition to a Zero-Cost Processing model (often called Cash Discounting or Dual Pricing).

How Zero-Cost Processing Works for Tattoos

This model empowers you to pass the processing cost to the customer, should they choose to pay with a card.

1. Cash Price: The client pays the sticker price (e.g., $300).

2. Card Price: The terminal automatically calculates the processing fee and adds it to the total (e.g., $312).

This ensures that when you charge $300, you receive $300.

In the tattoo industry, clients are already accustomed to cash-preferred cultures. By implementing Revify’s Dual Pricing, you aren’t "nickel and diming" your clients; you are offering them transparency and choice. They can pay cash to save, or pay the small convenience fee for the rewards and ease of using their credit card.

The result? Your shop keeps 100% of its revenue. No surprises at the end of the month. No confusing statements. Just your money, in your account.

The Rebate System: Your New Passive Income Stream

Eliminating fees is great defense. But Revify plays offense.

We are the only payment processor that offers a Revenue Share Program accessible to tattoo shops. We treat your transaction volume as an asset. Because we process payments efficiently, we generate a profit on the backend—and unlike our competitors, we share that profit with you.

How the Revify Rebate Works

Think of it as a loyalty program, but for the merchant.

• Step 1: You process payments as usual using our modern terminals.

• Step 2: We track your volume and the profit generated from those swipes.

• Step 3: On the 25th of every month, Revify cuts you a check.

For a busy shop, this can mean an additional stream of revenue every single month without tattooing a single extra line. You are essentially monetizing your checkout counter.

Imagine this: Your payment processor paying for your shop’s utilities, or covering the cost of your supplies. That is the power of the Revify Rebate.

Speed, Security, and The InkedInTools Partnership

Tattoo artists are entrepreneurs, but they are also part of a tight-knit community. We know that trust is everything in this industry. That is why Revify has partnered with InkedInTools, a leader in tattoo industry resources, to ensure our solution is tailored specifically for the needs of shops and artists.

Next-Day Funding for Cash Flow

We know that cash is king. Whether you need to pay out guest artists, restock expensive cartridges, or handle shop rent, you cannot wait 3 to 4 business days for your funds to clear.

Revify offers Next-Day Funding. The money you earn today is available to you tomorrow. This liquidity is vital for shop owners managing booth rent splits and supply orders.

24/7 Support for Late-Night Sessions

Tattooing doesn’t stop at 5:00 PM. Many shops run late into the night. If your terminal goes down at 10:00 PM on a Friday, you can’t wait until Monday morning for support.

Revify offers 24/7 customer support. Real humans, ready to help, ensuring you never miss a payment.
