Tattoo booking app with deposits & reminders

A tattoo booking app should do one job well: turn the people asking about your work into booked, paid, confirmed appointments without you typing the same reply forty times a day.

InkedIn Tools was built by tattooers for exactly that. Clients tap your booking link, choose an open slot, pay the deposit, and get a confirmation. You get a full calendar and fewer late nights answering messages.

Most shops start booking the same way. A client sends a DM with a reference photo. You go back and forth on size, placement and price. You send dates. They disappear for three days.

You send a payment app request for the deposit. Maybe it lands, maybe it doesn't. Then you write it on the calendar and hope they show. That works when you are slow. It breaks the moment your book gets busy.

InkedIn Tools replaces that loop with a booking flow that runs while you are tattooing. It is part of Revify, the tattoo payment processing company co-founded by tattoo shop owners, so booking and payments work together on the same system.

What clients see in the tattoo booking app

Your booking link goes in your Instagram bio, your Google Business profile and your website. A client opens it, sees the times you have actually opened up, and picks one.

The deposit is charged right then, so the slot is held by someone who has committed. They get text and email reminders before the session and a consent form to sign before they sit in your chair.

Generic salon schedulers assume every appointment is the same length and the same price. Tattooing does not work that way. A walk-in flash piece, a half-day custom session and the third sitting of a back piece all need different handling. Good tattoo booking software respects that you decide what goes on your book.

Tattoo scheduling software that fits your week

With InkedIn Tools you choose the times you open. Clients can only pick from those slots, so you are not stuck with a Tuesday morning you meant to keep for drawing.

Your calendar syncs with Google Calendar, so your personal plans and your bookings live side by side. The mobile app lets you check the day, answer a message or approve a change between sessions. See the app for tattoo artists page for how that looks on your phone.

Deposits that hold the slot

A booking without a deposit is a maybe. InkedIn Tools charges the deposit at the moment of booking, so every appointment on your calendar has money behind it.

You set the amount and your own policy. If you are writing a policy for the first time, our guide to online tattoo deposits covers what many shops do.

Reminders that cut down no-shows

Most no-shows are not bad people. They are busy people who forgot. Automated text and email reminders go out before each appointment, and missed-call text-back sends an automatic text when you can't pick up the phone, so the client who called mid-session still hears from you.

Booking is half the job. The other half is getting paid. When your shop runs InkedIn Tools with Revify Payments, the deposit taken at booking and the balance at checkout run on the same system. No separate apps to reconcile at the end of the night.

Revify Payments is $0/month with dual pricing: a posted cash price and a card price, both shown on every receipt, and the client chooses.

Revify sets up dual pricing to card-network rules and handles the signage, receipts and terminal for you. You get a free terminal while you process with Revify (see free equipment), next-day funding and no long-term contract.

On top of that, you earn Monthly Cash-back of up to 0.75% of your card sales, paid every month. Process at least $10,000/month with Revify and InkedIn Tools is $0/month, a $1,188/year value. Run your numbers on the savings calculator or compare plans on pricing.

More than a calendar

InkedIn Tools also includes a website builder with booking built in, and email marketing for flash drops, guest spots and new openings. When you open a few slots for a flash day, you can tell your list and let them book straight from the email.
