01

Vagaro Is a Spa Tool

Vagaro was designed for spas, salons, and fitness studios. Every tattoo-specific feature you need — intake forms, reference uploads, stencil tools — is either missing or an expensive add-on.

02

Death by Add-Ons

Vagaro's base price looks reasonable until you add premium forms, website builder, marketing, and additional locations. LVL2 includes everything in one flat rate.

03

Purpose-Built Workflow

From the moment a client submits a request to the final payment, LVL2 handles the entire tattoo workflow. Vagaro gives you a calendar and makes you figure out the rest.

You Deserve a Platform That Speaks Your Language

Tattoo artists aren't spa therapists. Stop paying for features you don't need and missing the ones you do.
