Features

Everything your studio needs

Every feature was designed with tattooing in mind — not adapted from a generic appointments tool.

Bookings built for tattoos

Request-based bookings that match how real studios work. Multi-hour session blocks, automatic deposit collection, and a full status pipeline from enquiry to healed.

Complete client journeys

Every client gets their own private portal. Inspiration → design → stencil → fresh → healed. Digital consent forms, intake health questionnaires, signed and archived.

Commission tracking

Set each artist's split once. Every completed session is automatically calculated. Monthly payout reports, mark-paid in one tap. No spreadsheets, ever.

Studio ↔ client chat

Message clients directly from inside each booking. They reply from their portal. No more hunting through Instagram DMs for design feedback.

Digital consent forms

Build your studio's consent form once. Clients sign it from their portal before each session. Signatures stored and exportable — compliant and paperless.

Inventory & stock alerts

Track inks, needles, and supplies. Set reorder thresholds. Get low-stock alerts before you run out mid-week. One source of truth for the whole studio.

How it works

Up and running in a day

No training required. If you can use your phone, you can run Inkbook.

01

Set up your studio in minutes

Add your studio details, upload your artists, set your booking page colours. Share your unique link — clients can request bookings immediately.

02

Clients request, you confirm

New requests appear in your dashboard. Review the brief, accept or decline, set a date and deposit. The client gets notified and their portal is updated automatically.

03

Run the session from the app

Check in the client, record milestones, log payment, capture photos at every stage. Healing reminders go out automatically. Commission splits calculate themselves.

The product

Built for artists, by artists

Dark by default. Fast on any device. Designed to feel like a professional tool, not a spreadsheet.

“We were running everything through spreadsheets and Instagram DMs. Inkbook replaced all of it. The client portals alone saved us hours every week — clients can see exactly where their booking is without texting us.”

FAQ

Common questions

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. Your 14-day free trial starts the moment you sign up — no payment details required. At the end of your trial you'll be prompted to choose a plan.

Can clients request bookings without creating an account?

Yes. Clients fill out a booking request form on your public page — no signup needed. They can optionally create a free Inkbook account to view their portal and message you.

Is my client data safe?

Absolutely. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Each studio's data is fully isolated — no other studio can access your clients, bookings, or photos.

Can I use Inkbook on my phone?

Yes. Inkbook is a Progressive Web App — it works in any browser and can be installed to your home screen for a native app feel on iPhone and Android.

What happens to my data if I cancel?

You can export all your data at any time. If you cancel, your account is frozen for 30 days before any data is removed — giving you time to change your mind.

Can I customise how my studio page looks?

Yes. Each studio gets a custom brand colour and background colour for their public booking page. Upload your logo, add your address and contact details, and it's yours.
