Salon software wasn't built
for shops like yours.
You've tried the generic tools. You've hacked together workarounds. You've spent Sunday nights doing admin that software should handle. Here's why Tatbook is different.
Built for this
Not thisThe difference is in the details
Built for tattoo, not repurposed for it
Before
Generic booking tool. "Services" instead of sessions. No concept of deposits, custom work requests, or flash days. You hack it together and it still feels wrong.
With Tatbook
Every feature designed around how tattoo shops actually run. Deposits, consultations, flash days, walk-ins, consent forms. It just works because it was built for this.
No client accounts required
Before
Your client has to download an app, create a login, verify their email, set a password... half of them bail before they even see your calendar.
With Tatbook
Client gets a text with a link. They book. They pay. They sign a consent form. Done. No app, no login, no friction.
Payment links, not IOUs
Before
The session ran long, they're out of cash, and now you're chasing the balance through Venmo, CashApp, and three unanswered texts.
With Tatbook
Text a secure payment link for the balance. They tap it, pay on their phone, and it reconciles against the appointment. No card reader, no chasing.
Artist autonomy, shop visibility
Before
One booking system that the owner manages for everyone. Or four different systems that nobody can see across. Both are chaos.
With Tatbook
Each artist controls their own calendar, rules, and booking flow. The shop owner sees the big picture without micromanaging a single chair.
Honest, transparent pricing
Before
A monthly fee, a per-booking charge, feature gates, and a processing cut buried in the fine print. You need a spreadsheet to figure out what you actually owe.
With Tatbook
Simple monthly pricing. Solo starts free with a 6% + $0.30 fee on deposits; the Shop plan buys that down to 4.9% + $0.30, all-in, with no separate platform fee. Payouts land in your own Stripe account; we never hold your funds.
Your brand, not ours
Before
Your booking page looks like every other business on the platform. Your clients see their brand, not yours. Generic profile page energy.
With Tatbook
Connect your own domain. Customize your booking page. Your clients see your shop, your art, your name on the door.
