Freelancers using Bubble in NaplesFreelancers using Bubble in NaplesMarea Tattoo is a three-artist tattoo studio in Chiaia, Napoli. Its owner spends six or seven hours a day in the chair, and every booking used to start as an Instagram DM, answered between sessions with his gloves off. About one flash booking in six never showed up.
I rebuilt that moment, from "can I book with you?" to "you're booked", so it no longer needs him.
→ Clients pick a drawing from the flash archive, choose a placement and a time from the artist's real calendar, and pay a deposit. They're booked on the spot.
→ Reminders, self-rescheduling, the waitlist and aftercare messages run on their own.
→ Custom requests arrive complete. The owner sends a quote in one click, and the client books straight from the link.
→ The studio page shows only what needs a person, next to everything that was handled automatically.
The site is designed like a printed flash catalogue: editorial spreads, line numbers in the margin, scanned black-ink drawings.
Built entirely in Lovable, starting from a blank project. Payments and messages are simulated for the demo; a demo clock in Studio → Rules lets you watch the automations run.

Inspired by the Armor of Emperor Ferdinand I (1549) by Kunz Lochner at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Public Domain, whose backplate bears the crossed staves and firesteels of the Order of the Golden Fleece, an elite chivalric society Ferdinand belonged to. TOSON imagines what that same logic of induction would look like today, built as a fashion house rather than a museum object.
TOSON, 2026. A speculative luxury house built from an armor that once certified belonging to an order money could not buy. That rank was inherited, earned, awarded, never purchased. TOSON borrows the language of induction, the seals, the insignia, the architecture of admission, and turns it into a brand, which is exactly the tension at its center: can rank still mean anything once anyone with enough money can acquire it? Every piece is designed to look like membership. None of them can actually grant it.
