Revify Is Headed to Cigar City Tattoo Fest Come See How Tattoo Shops Can Keep More of What They Earn

Tattoo conventions aren’t just about incredible art, they're about community, culture, and the business behind the craft. That’s exactly why Revify is heading to Cigar City Tattoo Fest.

We’re excited to be part of one of Tampa’s most anticipated tattoo events, connecting with artists, shop owners, and industry professionals who live the tattoo lifestyle every day.

Why Revify Is Showing Up at Cigar City Tattoo Fest

Revify was built with one clear mission: help tattoo shops stop losing money to payment processing and start keeping more of every dollar they earn.

Tattoo artists put in the work  long sessions, physical demand, years of training yet traditional payment processors quietly take a cut of every transaction. That never sat right with us.

Events like Cigar City Tattoo Fest are where the tattoo industry comes together, and it’s the perfect place to have real conversations about:

• How shops are getting paid
• Where money is being lost
• And how payment processing can work for artists instead of against them

We’re not there to sell gimmicks. We’re there to educate, connect, and show tattoo shops a smarter way to handle payments.

Built by Artists, for Artists

Revify is co-founded by Matt Bagwell, tattoo artist and owner of Made To Last Tattoo. This platform wasn’t built by a faceless corporation, it was built by someone who understands the grind of running a tattoo shop and the frustration of watching fees eat into hard-earned income.

We understand the hustle because we live it. That’s why Revify was built to actually put money back in artists’ pockets, not take it out.

Still Using Square? You’re Likely Losing Money

Many tattoo shops default to Square because it’s familiar. But familiarity often comes at a cost.

With most traditional processors, shops deal with:

• Percentage-based swipe fees
  
  
• Monthly and annual fees
  
  
• Equipment costs
  
  
• Lost revenue on every high-ticket tattoo
  
  

With Revify, the model is different:

• 0% processing cost to the shop customers cover it transparently
  
  
• Zero monthly fees
  
  
• Zero annual fees
  
  
• Free terminal included
  
  
• Monthly rebates paid back to the studio
  
  

Instead of your processor profiting more as you work more, Revify is designed to reward your volume.

Claim Your Free Terminal Perfect for Shops, Guest Artists, and Conventions

Tattoo conventions move fast. You need payment tools that keep up.

When you sign up with Revify, you can claim a free payment terminal, no upfront cost, no equipment fees, and no long-term contracts. This makes it easier for tattoo shops and artists to accept payments on the spot without absorbing processing costs or investing in expensive hardware.

Revify terminals support:

• Contactless payments
  
  
• Mobile wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay
  
  
• Fast, reliable checkout during high-volume events
  
  

Whether you’re working a booth, hosting a guest spot, or running a busy shop back home, Revify gives you modern payment tools without the financial drag.

What We’ll Be Talking About at the Event

If you stop by or connect with the Revify team at Cigar City Tattoo Fest, we’ll be talking about the things that actually matter to tattoo businesses, including:

• How to eliminate out-of-pocket processing costs
  
  
• How customer-funded, transparent payment models work
  
  
• How tattoo shops can earn monthly rebates based on card volume
  
  
• Why fast access to cash matters for artists and studios
  
  
• How modern payment tools support conventions, guest spots, and mobile artists
  
  

No fluff. No pressure. Just real conversations about money, margins, and sustainability.
