The money app for tattoo artists
You do the tattoos.
It does the money.
Tattoo money comes from everywhere. Cash, Venmo, card, tips, with receipts and miles on top. Inkperch logs all of it in seconds and does the math for you. And it's built just for tattooing, with a client book, a session timer that totals as you work, and trip planning for conventions and guest spots.

1 Receipts
Receipts file themselves.
Snap a photo, upload a PDF, forward the email, or just say it out loud. Inkperch pulls the vendor, the amount, and the date, picks the right category, and files it. Needles, flights, booth rent. No typing needed.

2 Mileage
Drives are deductions. Log them.
Supply runs, guest spots, the conventions you drove to. Log the drive and Inkperch counts every deductible mile at the standard rate. A season of driving adds up to real money, and most of it goes unclaimed.

Miles on the year

3 Money in
Log a payment in five seconds.
You can't know what you're earning if half of it never gets written down. Logging a payment takes five seconds with one hand, so it actually happens.
Set a shop split once and your cut is calculated automatically on every payment. Deposits, tips, and merch sales all get logged too, and any payment can be tied to a client in your client book.

Hand your accountant one clean file.
Pick a percentage to hold back and Inkperch runs the set-aside on your net all year, so the bill never sneaks up on you. When the year closes, every expense, every mile, and every write-off exports in one file. Send it off and you're done.

Profit & Loss
Set a monthly goal and watch the dial fill as you log. What came in, what went out, and whether you're ahead of last month's pace. A trip or a home-shop week, same math.
