Booking software for tattoo artists — you decide what you take on

You wouldn’t add a tattoo appointment to your calendar without checking the details first. You turn on approval and every request reaches you first — only what you accept goes into your calendar.

Sound familiar?

The message says they would like something small on the wrist. That tells you nothing about size, how long it takes, or when they are free. Five messages about the size, three about the date, and you have not started yet.

The consultation cannot be skipped. Arranging the date does not have to take twenty messages.

How it works

  1. 1

    Sign up

    With an email address, in a few minutes.

  2. 2

    Add what you take on

    Consultation, smaller piece, full-day sitting — each with its own duration. The free AI assistant can guide you through it.

  3. 3

    Turn on approval

    From then on every booking arrives as a request. You look at it and decide.

What does your client see?

Your client opens your booking link, picks the service and a free slot, and submits the request. They do not have to install an app or create an account. They get a confirmation and a reminder; with approval turned on, it reaches you as a request first.

What you get as a tattoo artist

Nothing enters your calendar without your say-so

With approval on, every booking arrives as a request first. Only what you accept goes in.

Long sittings fit too

The consultation is half an hour, the full-day sitting is eight. Each is its own service with its own duration.

Requests around the clock

The request arrives whenever it suits them. You answer when you have time.

In-person arrangements you enter yourself

If a client arranges a session at the studio or by message, you add it manually. The calendar stays complete.

Client records with history

What you did, how the piece is progressing, when the next sitting is.

Automatic reminders

Your client gets a reminder before the sitting — by email, and as a notification too if they have the app.

Simple on mobile

You manage your bookings in the app — your clients don't have to install anything

Manage your bookings from anywhere, while your clients book whichever way suits them: in the app or in the browser, even without an account.

For you

A new booking? You're notified right away. Reach your calendar from anywhere, manage appointments, and message your clients — from your phone.

For your clients

In the app they follow all their appointments in one place and get reminders. And if they'd rather not install it, they can book on your booking page in the browser — even without an account.

Common questions

Can I stop people writing straight into my calendar?
Yes. With approval on, every booking reaches you as a request first.
Can I add a full-day sitting?
Yes. Every service gets its own duration, up to eight hours or more.
Can I keep the consultation and the work separate?
Yes, as two services with their own durations — the consultation short, the sitting long.
Can I note where a multi-session piece stands?
Yes. You can write free text on the client record, and it stays next to their earlier sittings.
I work with several artists. Is that possible?
Yes, on the Pro plan. Each gets their own calendar and you see everything in one overview.
Where is my data stored?
On servers in the EU — the database in Ireland, the application in Frankfurt.
Do I need to be good with technology?
No. A free AI assistant guides you through the setup in a chat.
