The gap
Your tools haven't caught up to your work
You have outgrown DMs and spreadsheets, but the alternatives assume you are a sales team or a salon. None of them are built for how tattooing actually works.
Enquiries scatter
DMs, email, and the odd text. The first message of a great project gets lost in the noise.
Bookings are manual
Back-and-forth to find a date, awkward deposit chats, and confirmations you type by hand.
History lives in your head
What you discussed, the reference images, the healed result. None of it is in one place.
Leaving means rebuilding
Change studios and your client list, notes, and bookings risk being left behind.
One inbox
Every enquiry, in one place
Instagram DMs and email together, each in their own screen, every message tied to the client it belongs to. The first message of a project never slips away.
DMs and email side by side
Switch between channels instantly. No more app-hopping mid-conversation.
Always in context
Open a message and see the whole client: projects, appointments, and notes.
Priority inbox: the messages that matter, first
Booking & deposits
Look professional from the first reply
Send an enquiry form, collect a deposit via Stripe, and attach a consent form, all before the client arrives. Confirmations and reminders send themselves.
Deposits before you confirm
Stripe payments, QR codes, and shareable links. No more awkward money chats.
Consent, signed in advance
Digital health questionnaires and signatures attached to the appointment.
Appointment detail: deposit, consent, and history in one view
Projects & history
Know exactly where you left off
Every client carries their full history: conversations, projects, appointments, reference images, and notes. Pick up a returning client like no time has passed.
Reference and design in one place
Galleries and rich notes attached to each project, from idea to healed.
Pinned details up front
Allergies, placement notes, and preferences, right where you need them.
Project view: notes, images, and appointments together
