Tattoo Booking App

Clients request on your booking page, pick a date, pay the deposit and sign the release form, all on their phone. Inkperch puts it on your calendar.

No booking fees. Clients don't need an app.

How booking works

1. A request comes in. On your booking page, or by DM, text, email or web form. Every request lands in your Inbox.
2. Send dates or book it. Send a few dates for the client to pick online, or book the date straight onto your calendar.
3. The deposit keeps the date. Clients pay by card from a link. Paid another way? Tap Deposit received. The session turns green.
4. Before the session. Clients sign the release form on their phone. Reminder texts go to clients who ask for them.
5. The day of. Open the session and take payment in Wrap up. Clients pay the balance and tip by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, or over time with Affirm, Klarna or Afterpay.

Your booking page

book.inkperch.com/@you, with your work, your links and a request form you set up. Put the link in your Instagram bio.

• Flash: clients claim a design.
• Consults: clients book an open consult time.
• Let them pick: once the deposit is in, clients pick an open time inside your hours, never in your time off.
• Clients move their time: once, into your open times.

Deposits with no booking fees

Card deposits and balances go to your own Stripe account. Inkperch takes nothing and clients pay no booking fee. Stripe charges its usual card fee.

Every card payment logs itself as income, with the tip on its own line. See how the fees compare to other booking apps.

Your calendar

• Busy times on your phone's calendars block booking, and your sessions show there.
• Time off clients can never book.
• Week and month views on your phone and iPad.

Book your own way

Booking from DMs, texts and email? Open the client, tap Book, and the date goes straight on your calendar. Ask for a deposit from your own texts or email, then tap Deposit received. This works on both plans.

At home or on the road

Booking a guest spot or a convention? Book sessions into the trip, and Trip profit shows what it made.
