The free tattoo booking app Stop running your business out of your DMs.

Yes. The free plan runs the whole booking business for nothing a month: your booking page, online bookings and deposits, the flash store, your calendar, your clients and our consent form. You pay £1 a booking paid through the platform, and Stripe's card fee. Membership, at £24 a month, adds the extras that cost us money per artist: texts, QuickBooks, the rescue, gift vouchers and your own consent forms.

A flat £1 a booking, on top of your monthly fee: taken once, from the first payment for that booking that goes through the platform, and nothing from the rest of it — a deposit and a balance paid through us cost you £1 between them, not £1 each. The money is still yours and still goes to your own Stripe account, not ours; the £1 comes off as it passes through. Money you take outside the platform — cash, your own card machine, a bank transfer you mark as paid — has nothing taken off it. Stripe take their own processing fee as well, as they would on any card payment.

Yes, for studios of independent artists. A studio pays £20 a month for each artist, billed for at least 2, for up to 10 artists, with a 14-day free trial. Each artist keeps their own page, clients and money, and takes them all with them if they leave. The studio gets its own page, a shared enquiry inbox its artists claim from, who is free when, and a chair rent ledger. There are no front-desk accounts and no rota: every artist still runs their own books.

Not really. They get one automatically, but there is no password to remember — they sign in with a link emailed to them when they need to see a quote or a booking.

The slot is held while they pay and released automatically if they abandon it, so your calendar frees itself up. A one-off flash design goes back on sale at the same time.

Yes. Mark a balance as paid and pick how you were paid — cash, card machine, bank transfer. It goes into your income for the year exactly as a card payment does.

Yes. Two days before the appointment the client is emailed a reminder with a link to the form, and they complete it on their phone: who they are, an emergency contact, when they last ate, eleven health questions, the declarations and a signature. The medical answers are encrypted, and the signed form sits against the booking in your calendar. Start on our form or write your own in the builder. Checking a client is over 18 against their photo ID is an add-on, £2 a client, once.

Nothing stops on the way down. Your account moves to the free plan: your page stays up, clients keep booking and paying deposits at £1 a booking, and everything you made stays exactly as it was. What pauses is the extras — texts, QuickBooks, the rescue, selling vouchers — until you subscribe again.
