Document your work like a professional

You're a professional artist. Every piece you create deserves proper documentation. Each tattoo is a project with linked appointments, reference images, notes, and task lists, all in one place.

The problem

Tattoo details get lost between sessions

Reference images buried in DMs
Clients send inspiration over Instagram. By the time you sit down to draw, those images are lost in a sea of messages.
No single source of truth
Design notes in one app, reference photos in another, appointment details somewhere else. Nothing is connected.
Multi-session pieces fall apart
A sleeve across six appointments needs continuity. Without a proper record, details get forgotten between sessions.

The solution

Every tattoo, fully documented

pencild treats each tattoo as its own project. From the first reference image to the healed photo, everything is attached, organised, and easy to find. Multi-session pieces stay connected across appointments.

Status tracking.
Mark projects as in progress, completed, or cancelled. Know exactly where every piece stands at a glance.
Linked appointments.
Connect multiple appointments to a single project. Consultations, sessions, and touch-ups all stay together.
Rich text notes.
Write detailed descriptions with inline images. Placement details, colour references, style notes -- all formatted and searchable.
Image gallery.
Attach reference images, design iterations, progress shots, and healed photos directly to each project.
Task lists.
Add to-do items for each project. Track design prep, supply orders, and follow-up actions in context.
