Square Was Built for Retail. You're Not Retail.
You don't need a cash register — you need intake forms, deposit automation, and a booking system that handles reference images. LVL2 was built for this.

Square Doesn't Get Tattoo
Square is built for coffee shops and retail stores. No intake forms, no deposit automation, no reference image handling. You're forced to bolt on workarounds.
Built by a Tattooer
LVL2 was designed by a working tattoo artist who was tired of spending 4 hours a night in DMs. Every feature exists because an artist needed it.
Your Money, Faster
LVL2 uses Stripe Connect with zero platform cuts on transactions. Square takes 2.6% + $0.10 on every swipe plus monthly feature fees for premium tools.
Free plan with all core features. $29/mo for Pro.
Plus 2.6% + 10¢ per transaction. Premium tools extra.
