Integrations

You didn't learn to tattoo
so you could manage a calendar.

You got into this because something in you needed to create. Because you saw skin as a canvas and a tattoo chair as the most honest place in the world. Nobody sits down for a sleeve because they have to — they sit down because something matters enough to make it permanent.

But somewhere between the art and the business, the business started winning. Sunday nights answering DMs. Screenshot folders full of reference images with no names attached. Deposits you forgot to collect. No-shows that wasted a three-hour block you could have filled twice over. The notebook with the waitlist that somehow has two Jessicas and you can't remember which one wanted the peony.

You're not bad at running a business. You're just spending your best hours on the wrong thing.

We built Tatbook so you could go back to being an artist.

Your day, reimagined

What if the business
just... ran itself?

9AM

You open the shop. Your day is already set.

Your calendar synced overnight. Three clients confirmed via text — you didn't send a single one. A new booking came in at 2 AM from someone who found your page, picked a slot, and paid their deposit. You didn't even know about it until right now. Coffee's still hot.

Branded booking page · Automatic SMS confirmations · Deposit collection · Calendar sync

2PM

A client reschedules. You never pick up your phone.

Between sessions, your phone buzzes: "Alex moved to Thursday at 4." That's it. No back-and-forth. No "does 3 work? what about 5?" Alex clicked a link in their text, picked a new time from your open slots, and your calendar updated itself. You wipe down the station and call your next client back.

Client self-service manage link · SMS reschedule notifications · Real-time calendar updates

8PM

You're sketching. Not chasing money.

The shop is quiet. You've got tomorrow's custom piece pulled up on the iPad. You're not texting anyone about a deposit. You're not hunting through DMs for that reference photo someone sent three weeks ago. You're not wondering if tomorrow's 10 AM is going to show. They paid. They confirmed. They'll be there. Tonight, you're just drawing.

How shops use Tatbook

Built for how shops
actually run.

Illustrative scenarios — not customer quotes. Tatbook is new, so these are composite examples of how it's meant to be used.

Picture a solo artist who used to spend every Sunday night answering 40+ DMs from the week — screenshot requests, pricing questions, people asking "are you still open?" — and woke up Monday already behind. With booking, deposits, and reminders handled automatically, that Sunday-night pile is meant to disappear.

Cooking dinner on a Sunday instead of clearing your inbox — that's the night Tatbook is built to give back.

The solo artist

Illustrative scenario

Picture a four-chair shop where every artist manages their own bookings — one in a notebook, one in Google Sheets, one through a Linktree form, one just through DMs. Tatbook is designed to put every chair on the same system while each artist keeps their own rules.

“The idea: manage the shop, not the chaos.”

The four-chair shop

Illustrative scenario

Picture an artist who requires a deposit and a two-week lead time for every custom piece, and used to enforce it with an awkward conversation every single time. Booking rules are built to enforce the deposit and lead time automatically, so the policy is just the policy.

“When the system enforces the rules, nobody has to be the bad guy — and clients tend to respect it more.”

The custom-work artist

Illustrative scenario

Built for the culture

This isn't generic booking software
with a tattoo skin on it.

We built Tatbook because the tools that exist were made for salons, spas, and "wellness providers." Tattoo shops aren't any of those things.

Your domain, your brand.

Connect your own domain. Your clients see yourshopname.com, not tatbook.com/shop/12847. Your brand stays yours.

Flash days that actually work.

Upload designs, set a date, limit slots, require deposits. What used to take three Instagram stories and a notes app takes two minutes.

Consent forms that don't feel corporate.

Digital consent forms built into the booking flow — not a clipboard and a pen, not a DocuSign link that makes your shop feel like a dentist's office.

Your artists, their autonomy.

Each artist gets their own page, portfolio, calendar, and booking rules. They run their chair. You see the big picture.

Client cards, not CRM jargon.

Every client gets a card with their history, healed photos, signed consent forms, and artist notes. The modern version of the binder behind the counter.

Get paid without the chase.

Collect deposits at booking, then text a secure link for the balance after the session. Money goes straight to your own Stripe account — we never sit in the path.
