# StencilHold — Tattoo Booking Brief & Deposit Slot Lock App

> Stop losing chair hours to Instagram DM ghosting. Collect placement, size, reference photos & non-refundable Stripe deposits before a date ever locks. $19/mo.

## Product Overview
- **Product:** StencilHold
- **URL:** https://stencilhold.com
- **UX Archetype:** `appointment_book` (`counter_ticket_receipt_stage`)
- **Primary ICP:** Independent tattoo artists and private studio owners who collect a tattoo deposit and client brief before locking a session slot.

## Core Capabilities
1. **Studio Deposit Link Generator (`/studio`, `/studio/bookings`):** Create a client booking slot with appointment start time, deposit amount (£), and strict deposit cutoff deadline.
2. **Client Brief & Deposit Record (`/b/<id>`):** One client link where the client submits their placement, size, and design brief and records the deposit before the cutoff time.
3. **Deterministic Slot Hold & Cutoff Release:** Slots paid on or before the cutoff lock as `held`; unpaid slots past the cutoff automatically transition to `released`.
4. **Booking Management (`/studio/bookings/<id>/edit`, `/studio/bookings/<id>/cancel`):** Update client name or deposit amount, or cancel a booking from the studio day book.

## Pricing
