Bookkeeping for Tattoo Artists + Studios
Spend more time tattooing — I’ll handle the books, taxes, and money stress.
Real books for real artists — straight up, no BS.
Clean, accurate QuickBooks for your shop or chair
More write-offs, less “oh sh*t” at tax time
No pressure, no corporate vibe — just a chill chat about your business.
Your Books Tell a Story — Let’s Make Sure It’s Clean + Stress-Free
Your tattoo work is art — your books shouldn’t feel like chaos.
Between appointments, walk-ins, deposits, supplies, and booth rent, it’s way too easy for receipts and expenses to get lost. That’s how you end up with surprise tax bills, missed write-offs, and that sinking “oh f*ck” feeling every April.
At SoulBalance Bookkeeping, I help tattoo artists + studios stay organized, compliant, and profitable — without the stiff corporate energy.
You’ll get clear reports, smart write-offs, and simple systems that make tax time painless, so you can keep more of what you earn and stay focused on tattooing.
This isn’t just bookkeeping — it’s having someone who gets your world and has your back.
Bookkeeping That Keeps You In the Chair — and Out of Financial Stress
Every tattoo business runs differently — appointments, walk-ins, travel gigs, conventions, booth rent, supply runs… it adds up fast.
Whether you need a one-time clean-up or ongoing support, I build simple systems that help you:
stay organized
save on taxes with legit write-offs
track income from cash, apps, and cards
understand what you actually earn
make smarter money decisions
So you can stay focused on tattooing — not spreadsheets.

🐉 Meet Chelly — The Person Behind SoulBalance Bookkeeping
I’ve lived a lot of lives — moved cities more times than I can count, survived chaos, rebuilt from nothing, and found my footing in places most people would’ve folded. That road gave me street smarts, resilience, and a deep understanding of people who’ve had to build a life on their own terms.
That’s why tattoo artists feel familiar to me.
Most of you didn’t take the “traditional” path.
You carved your own — through skill, hustle, and heart..
I get that.
Because that’s my story too.
Numbers tell stories just like tattoos do.
But here’s what I noticed fast — artists are often left to figure out the business + money side on their own. No one teaches you:
what you’re allowed to write off
how to organize your books
how booth rent vs. commissions really work
how to plan for taxes instead of dreading them
how to track cash + app payments without losing your mind
So I became the bridge.
I started SoulBalance Bookkeeping to help tattoo artists + studio owners:
• get organized
• stay legal + compliant
• stop stressing during tax season
• understand what they actually earn
• make smarter money decisions that support their life
No judgment.
No corporate lingo.
No pressure to be anything other than who you are.
I’m here because I respect what you do.
Tattooing is permanent.
It’s intimate.
It’s storytelling on skin.
The least I can do is make the money side easier so you can stay focused on your craft.
Whether you’ve been tattooing for two years or twenty, whether you work in a shop or rent a chair, whether your books are spotless or straight chaos — I’ve got you.
If you’re ready for bookkeeping that actually makes sense for your lifestyle and your business, you’re in the right place.
