A calmer path from saved to claimed

Make good flash
easy to say yes to.

FlashTether gives your existing designs a home your opted-in audience can actually search—while you keep the final say at every step.

01

Set up your shelf

Choose which original flash to list, then set each design’s price, placement rules, and availability.

YOUR DESIGNS. YOUR TERMS.
02

Let your people browse

Share a dedicated catalog link with your opted-in audience. They can save favorites and filter by theme, budget, and placement.

THEIR WISH LIST, THEIR PACE.
03

You approve the offer

Review each inquiry, confirm deposit status, and mark a one-off design claimed once you approve it.

ONE DESIGN. ONE CLIENT.
Take a look around

Good browsing
starts with the details.

Give clients a way to find the right piece for them, without making you redraw, repost, or answer the same “is this still available?” message all week.

  • Artist-set prices and placement restrictions
  • Wish lists that keep the maybe-laters together

BUILT AROUND YOUR BOUNDARIES

Private by artist.
Permission by design.

Each studio’s customer list stays separate and private to that artist. Email is opt-in, with a clear unsubscribe. Artist-supplied artwork enters the platform only after permissions and data handling are resolved.

The first five studios

Build it with the people
who know flash best.

A small founding pilot to test the workflow with independent artists before opening it up.

CLEAR SCOPE, UP FRONT

What the first version
does—and doesn’t.

In the pilot workflow

Artist-specific catalogs, client wish lists, theme/budget/placement matching, artist-approved offers, one-off claim protection, opt-in email with unsubscribe, and inquiry/deposit/cancellation/claim status tracking.

Not connected yet

No direct integrations with booking systems, calendars, payment processors, or social platforms are implemented. Clients follow a link to your current booking system; deposits are recorded by the artist in the pilot workflow.

No promises or generated art

FlashTether does not generate replacement tattoo art or promise bookings or income. The current catalog uses placeholders. Your art is added only after permissions and platform data handling are agreed.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS

Before we
make a mark.

It’s early. Here’s what’s decided, and what the pilot is here to figure out.

Who owns the artwork? +

You do. The first prototype uses placeholder visuals. We’ll only use artist-supplied art after permissions and platform data handling have been resolved.

Does this replace my booking system? +

No. The planned catalog links to your existing booking page. Direct integrations are not supported in this prototype, and we won’t claim compatibility until it has been validated.

How are clients and deposits handled? +

Clients opt in before email updates and can unsubscribe. The planned workflow tracks inquiries, confirmed deposits, cancellations, and claimed designs. This demo does not collect deposits or client information.

Will the catalog bring me more bookings? +

We can’t promise bookings or income. The five-artist pilot tests whether a searchable, artist-approved catalog makes existing flash easier for an artist’s audience to discover and claim.
