The problem
Managing bookings through DMs is costing you clients.
01
Incomplete requests
Clients send a vague message with no size, style, budget, or reference. You spend days just gathering basics before the real conversation starts.
02
Leads lost in DMs
You reply, they go quiet. Two weeks later you cannot find the conversation. The lead is gone with no record.
03
No system, just memory
You are mentally tracking who is waiting, who is booked, who needs a reply. It works until it does not.
How it works
From first message to booked session
A complete workflow built around how tattoo artists actually take requests.
01
Getting set up
Share your request link
Every artist gets a unique public link. Share it in your bio, stories, or DMs. Clients click and submit a proper request with no back-and-forth.
02
Customize your intake form
Choose exactly what information you need: placement, size, style, budget, reference photos, availability, and more. Add custom fields. Create separate forms for guest spots and conventions.
03
Managing requests
Collect complete tattoo requests
Clients fill out a structured form that captures everything upfront. The moment they submit, they receive a confirmation email with a personal tracking link to follow their request. No more chasing for updates.
04
Review requests in one place
You receive an email notification the moment a new request arrives. All submissions land on your board — review each one, see full details, reference images, and client notes in one place.
05
Move requests through a workflow
New, In Review, Assigned, Booked, Archived. Move requests between stages. Your board always reflects the real state of your pipeline.
06
Running your business
Add internal notes and context
Leave private notes on any request. Track your thoughts, flag follow-ups, record decisions. Context stays with the request, not in your head.
07
Track all your finances
Record session revenue, track deposits, apply studio cuts or rent models. See your actual monthly profit without relying on spreadsheets.
08
Optional
Studio workflow when you need it
Running a studio? Assign requests to specific artists, share the board across your team, and see per-artist analytics and revenue breakdowns.
