Features
One system for your entire business
pencild replaces the patchwork of apps and workarounds with a single system designed for how tattoo artists actually work. Here is what is inside.
The toolkit
Everything a tattoo business runs on
Each piece works on its own and connects to the rest, so your clients, bookings, and records stay in step.
Inbox
Email and Instagram DMs in one app, each in its own screen, tied to the client.
Client profiles
Complete records: conversations, projects, appointments, consent, and notes.
Booking
Enquiry forms and an intake wizard that walk clients to a confirmed appointment.
Calendar
Availability, appointments, and Google or Outlook sync in month, week, and agenda views.
Projects
Track each tattoo from idea to healed, with reference galleries and design notes.
Deposits
Collect via Stripe before you confirm. QR codes and shareable payment links included.
Consent forms
Digital health questionnaires and signature capture attached to any appointment.
Tasks
To-dos linked to clients and projects, including recurring studio work.
Locations
Save addresses with timezone support for guest spots and travel.
Templates
Reusable messages with personalisation for the replies you send all the time.
Automations
Confirmations, reminders, and aftercare that send themselves from your appointments.
Ink passport
Track inks and needles for EU compliance, plus supplies records for the studio.
Inbox
The first message never slips away
A priority inbox surfaces real enquiries above the story reactions and newsletters, with full-text search, labels, and bulk actions, all tied to the client record.
DMs and email together
Two channels, one app, a separate screen for each. Switch instantly.
Linked to the client
Open any message and see the whole relationship in context.
Unified inbox: Instagram and email in one place
Booking & consent
Clients arrive confirmed, paid, and signed in
The intake wizard takes a client from first message to a confirmed appointment, with a Stripe deposit and a digital consent form attached before they walk through the door.
Deposits via Stripe
QR codes and links. No awkward money conversations.
Consent in advance
Health questionnaires and signatures captured digitally.
Consent form: signed before the appointment
