Tattoo Booking Software Set Up for Deposits, Consent Forms, and Multi-Session Pieces

Tattoo booking software integration starts at $750 for up to 3 artists with deposits, consent forms, and reminders. Multi-session projects, aftercare texts, and synced calendars start at $1,850. Flash day and guest spot pages on your site start at $3,900. The vendor bills the booking tool's subscription to you.

Most setups go live in 2 to 6 weeks. A basic setup takes 2 to 3 weeks, the full consent and calendar flow 3 to 5, and custom flash and guest pages 5 to 6. Texting registration and moving future bookings usually set the pace.

No single tool wins for every studio, so it depends on how you price and book. Porter and similar tattoo apps handle approval-based requests, deposits, consent forms, and aftercare messages. Square Appointments and Acuity Scheduling treat each sitting as its own appointment. Either way, we set sessions by length at your hourly rate.

You attach them to the booking so they send themselves. The confirmation carries a consent form with a signature and an ID photo upload, and staff see who hasn't finished. Your team checks the ID against your state's age rules, and opted-in clients get aftercare texts after each session.

It makes each artist's personal calendar block bookings, and it puts every booking on that calendar. In Acuity, only outside events marked Busy block time, and events more than 200 days ahead are ignored. So your drawing days and far-off dates get set to match, and consultations land only on days you've opened.

We build the pages on your site and write each booking into your scheduler through its API. A flash drop page lists designs that come down once claimed, each held by a deposit. Guest spot pages show the visiting artist's dates. With Square, this needs Appointments Plus or Premium.

It should capture the client's signature, an ID photo, age confirmation, the placement and design, and the health questions your state or county requires. Each signed form belongs with the booking and the client record. We add those fields to your booking tool's forms, or connect a form service if yours falls short.

Yes, with a rule set up for it. Most general booking tools attach a deposit to a single appointment, so a multi-session piece needs a plan. Your deposit then applies at the first sitting or is tracked toward the last, as your policy says, with a note on the client record.

Yes, client lists move by export and import in most tools. Your future appointments are either recreated in the new tool or finished in the old one, and you choose which. Signed forms move as PDF copies where your old tool exports them, and we pick a quiet week for the switch.

Your studio owns all of it. Every booking, payment, and texting account is opened in your name, and we work as invited users. Client records and signed forms stay in your tool, and we hand over admin access at go-live. Support runs 30, 60, or 90 days, depending on plan.
