One inbox
Instagram DMs + email, together
Sound familiar?
Your tools should match your talent
Your enquiries live in Instagram DMs. Your bookings are in a spreadsheet. Your calendar is somewhere else entirely. Every day, something slips through the cracks.
Messages get buried
Client enquiries disappear in a flood of Instagram DMs and emails across multiple apps.
Bookings fall through
Without a proper system, appointments get missed, deposits go uncollected, and clients lose trust.
You look unprofessional
Delayed responses, forgotten details, and messy scheduling undermine the quality of your art.
Admin eats your time
Copy-pasting between apps, chasing deposits, and updating calendars eats your creative hours.
Email & Instagram
One inbox for every message
See Instagram DMs and email together in one app. Never miss a client enquiry again, and keep every conversation in context with the client it belongs to.
All channels, one app
Instagram DMs and email side by side. No more app-switching to find a conversation.
Full conversation history
Every message tied to the client, so you always have the context you need.
Unified inbox: Instagram and email in one place
Calendar & booking
Bookings that actually work
Share an enquiry form instead of juggling DMs. Walk clients from first message to confirmed appointment, collect deposits via Stripe, and attach consent forms automatically.
Deposits up front
Clients pay via Stripe before you confirm. QR codes and shareable links included.
Consent forms built in
Digital health questionnaires and signature capture attached to any appointment.
Appointment detail: deposit, consent, and history in one view
Clients & projects
Every client, one complete history
Each client has a full profile: conversations, projects, appointments, consent forms, and notes. Track tattoo work from first enquiry to healed, with reference images and design notes attached.
Complete client record
Messages, projects, appointments, and consent forms, all tied to one profile.
Projects from idea to healed
Follow each piece with rich notes, image galleries, and connected tasks.
Client profile: projects, history, and consent in context
For studios
Give your artists professional tools
Studios provide the space. pencild helps you provide the infrastructure too, with shared visibility into schedules, while artists keep the independence that makes them great.
Shared scheduling
See every artist's schedule at a glance. Support resident and guest artists with flexible availability.
Sponsored seats
Provide pencild accounts as a studio benefit. Artists keep their account if they leave.
Artists stay independent
Granular permissions let artists choose what studios can see. Client data belongs to the artist.
