How to launch and run your shop

This guide is only for Tattoo Monsters on thetattoo.monster.

1. What you are creating

A Tattoo Monsters shop is your own room on this domain: a feed for tattoo photos and artwork, a shop floor for session videos, Live Shop for streaming from the chair, and an admin dashboard.

Launching does not copy demo clients. You start empty.

2. Sign up fields

On the homepage tap Launch your shop. The form stays on thetattoo.monster.

Your name — operator record. Clients do not see this unless you reuse it as the display name.

Email — inbox you check. Used if a password reset is needed.

Display name — public name on the shop. Example: Iron Anchor Tattoo.

Username — login only. Letters, numbers, underscore. Example: iron_anchor. 3–24 characters. This is not your URL.

3. Hosting zone

The dropdown is Hosting zone. Pick thetattoo.monster unless the operator listed another domain they already attached to this Worker.

Do not pick a name that is not a real domain. Internal labels are not shops.

4. What a slug is

The slug is the short name after /s/.

https://thetattoo.monster/s/iron-anchor/

In that example the slug is iron-anchor.

Tap Launch shop once and wait.

5. Temporary password

After launch you get shop URL, username, and a one-time password. It is shown on screen. It is not emailed twice. Write it down, open the shop URL, sign in, then change the password in account settings. You are the shop admin.

6. Customize the shop

Sign in and open Customize.

Save customization or the screen does not stick.

7. Feed / Studio

Publish tattoo photos, flash, artwork, or video. Mark a post free so anyone can see it, or paid if you want it locked until a client pays or you unlock them.

8. Shop floor videos

Open Lounge → Shop floor. Upload one session video at a time and wait for the percent bar. Signed-in visitors can play, pause, and scrub. You can take a clip down and put a new one up. It updates live. Optional expiration hides the clip when the timer ends.

9. Live Shop

Live Shop is the chair camera, not the uploaded tape. Signed-in visitors can watch. Maximum 4 viewers at a time because of the live layout. You publish. They view. You can record the session into the media library.

Allow camera and mic when the browser asks. If a phone will not connect, the shop tries Cloudflare TURN after STUN.

10. Ban, suspend, resume, delete

In Users: suspend pauses login, resume restores, ban blocks, delete removes the account so that username and email can be used again. You cannot delete the last admin.

11. Support

Inside your shop, open Support. That ticket goes only to the thetattoo.monster operator. Include your slug and what you already tried.

12. Tips and paid posts

Signed-in clients can tip if you enabled payment methods. Set handles in Customize. Paid posts are optional — this shop is not built around a waiting-room paywall.
