##### **Tattoo price**

If You have a '**Single Artist**' or a '**Small Studio**' subscription,**you are now finished.**
If you have a '**Bigger Studio**' or '**Expert Studio**' subscription you now have **step 3**, called 'Price'.

You can see a summary of the artists financial pricing information.
This box is just ment as a reminder to the person creating the booking.

**Price**
This can hold any information you'd like to display when a payment for this project is made.
( e.g. €65 / hour, or 350€ )

**Estimation**
Here you can enter your estimated time this project will take.
( e.g. 2-3 hours )

##### **Why Keep track of your estimation?**

Let's say you estimated 5 hours to your customer. And you are finished in 7 hours instead. Then you know to maybe charge a little less than 7 hours. Or vice versa, if you worked 5 hours but you estimated 10, now you can think if you want to charge a bit less or not.

**Required deposit**the required deposit is the amount the customer will need to pay to confirm their appointment.
This can be prefilled for you if the artist has set their default amount.
( e.g. €150 )

**Available deposit**the available deposit is the amount the customer has already payed in advance and has not yet been used.
( e.g. €0 because the deposit payment has not yet occurred )
