The Booking App Built For tattoo studios.
Online booking, automated reminders, deposit collection, and client management. One app. Every plan. No per-text fees, no booking caps, no commissions.
Why simplified booking matters.
The problem
DMs, texts, and voicemails. Clients ghosting after saying "I'll book tomorrow." Deposit collection that lives in a separate app. Reminders you forget to send. No-shows that cost you $300+ per empty slot. Most studios lose 15-25% of their booked revenue to no-shows and scheduling chaos.
How Tattoo Studio Pro fixes it
Clients book online and pay a deposit in the same flow. Automated SMS reminders go out at 24h and 2h before the session. Unlimited reminders on every plan, no per-text charge. Client records, consent forms, and payment history are all connected to the appointment, and checkout runs through the built-in tattoo shop POS. Studios using automated reminders cut no-shows by 40-60%.
Powerful booking doesn't need to be complicated.
Deposits at booking
Clients book and pay a deposit in one step. You set the deposit amount, they pay via Stripe. No more chasing deposits through DMs.
Unlimited SMS reminders
Automated text reminders at the times you choose. No per-message fees. No caps. Included on every plan. One recovered no-show pays for months of the subscription.
Calendar built for studios
See your full schedule at a glance or drill into a single day. Filter by artist to manage team schedules without overlap.
Client records that build themselves
Every appointment, consent form, note, preference, and payment tied to the client. Full history builds itself over time. No manual data entry after the first visit.
Walk-ins through the queue
Walk-ins and same-day clients flow through the queue system. Track check-ins, manage the floor, and keep the shop moving on busy days.
Tattoo-specific reporting
Collect deposits and payments via Stripe. Tattoo Studio Pro generates tattoo-specific financial reports: deposit tracking, artist commissions, tax summaries, tips, and revenue analytics.
Trusted by tattoo studios across North America, Europe, and Australia.
How it works.
Set up your booking page
Customize your services, availability, deposit amounts, and booking rules. Share the link on Instagram, your website, or anywhere clients find you.
Clients book and pay
They pick a time, answer your intake questions, and pay the deposit. No back-and-forth DMs.
Reminders go out
SMS reminders go out automatically. You set the schedule. Clients confirm or reschedule without you lifting a finger.
Everything is ready on the day
Client arrives, consent form is ready (or already signed digitally), appointment details are on screen, payment history is tracked. Focus on the tattoo, not the admin.
Why artists love Tattoo Studio Pro's booking tools.
"Booking has never been easier. I love being able to collect deposits and customize reminders, and it's saved me so much time and reduced my no-shows."
"The Queue check-in feature keeps things flowing on busy days, and I can easily track my daily appointments."
What studios are leaving behind.
| Switching from | Why they switch |
|---|---|
| DMs + spreadsheets | Tired of losing bookings in Instagram messages and tracking deposits manually |
| A generic booking app | Need consent forms, client history, and tattoo-specific workflows |
| A commission-based marketplace | Done paying a cut of every booking to the platform that sent it |
| Salon and spa software | Want a tool built for tattoo, not adapted from hair and beauty |
| A directory-first booking platform | Need deposit collection, SMS reminders, and compliance features that actually work |
What to look for in tattoo booking software.
Most booking apps are built for hair salons or spas and bolted onto tattoo workflows as an afterthought. Here is what actually matters for a tattoo studio.
- Consent forms attached to the client record. Not a separate upload. Not a paper form scanned in later. The consent form should live next to the appointment and the client profile automatically.
- Deposit capture at the moment of booking. Not a manual invoice sent afterward. The deposit link goes in the booking confirmation so clients pay before they can forget.
- Multi-artist scheduling with individual calendars. Each artist needs their own availability, their own client queue, and their own commission tracking. A shared calendar does not cut it for studios with two or more artists.
- Day-of queue management. Walk-ins, rescheduled appointments, and running late. The booking app needs to handle the chaos of a real studio day, not just a clean calendar.
- A POS that understands commissions. Generic POS tools process payments. A tattoo-specific POS tracks the studio and artist split on every sale, records tips, and handles session-based charges.
If a tool checks all five, it was built for tattoo studios. If it checks two or three, you will be working around its gaps every day.

Frequently asked questions.
How does online booking work?
You get a shareable booking page. Clients pick a service, choose a time from your available slots, answer any intake questions you set up, and pay a deposit via Stripe. You get notified instantly. The appointment shows up in your calendar with all the details attached.
Are SMS reminders really unlimited?
Yes. Every plan includes unlimited automated SMS appointment reminders. No per-text fees. No message caps. Set your reminder schedule (24h, 2h, or custom) and they go out automatically.
Can I collect deposits when clients book?
Yes. You set the deposit amount per service. Clients pay via Stripe during the booking flow. The deposit is recorded against the appointment automatically.
What about consent forms?
Tattoo Studio Pro includes digital consent forms with e-signature on every plan. You can send them before the appointment or have clients sign on a tablet when they arrive. Forms are stored with the client profile for compliance.
How does Tattoo Studio Pro compare to free booking tools?
Free and freemium booking tools tend to stop short of what a tattoo studio needs: no consent forms, no deposit workflow, limited SMS. And free usually is not free. Marketplace platforms typically make their money by taking a commission on bookings they send you, or by adding a booking fee your client pays at checkout. Tattoo Studio Pro is $29/month for solo artists with everything included. No hidden fees, no commissions, no caps. For named, dated head-to-heads, see our comparisons page.
Can I try it before I pay?
30-day free trial. All features. If it doesn't work for your studio, cancel anytime.
Does it work for multi-artist studios?
Yes. Each artist gets their own calendar, permissions, and client list. The Crew plan supports up to 5 artists at $69/month. Plans scale up to 25+ artists.
