DISCOVERCreate a tattoo studio app
Tattoo studio app: artist portfolios, project requests with references, consultations and aftercare
Clients browse each artist's work, send their project with reference images, book the consultation in the app and reread your advice, day after day, while the tattoo heals.
Your studio's own native app (iPhone, Android) with a web version, built without code: a portfolio per artist, a project request that receives reference photos, consultations booked in each artist's calendar, your aftercare and your flash days.
Free 30-day trial - No credit card required
The solo artist, books two months out
You tattoo alone and never take a consultation more than two months ahead: your section's booking window is set to 60 days, and nothing beyond it is offered. When you reopen your books after a break, a push notification tells everyone who has installed the app.
Three residents and guest artists
Each resident gets a consultation section connected to their own Google Calendar. The guest artist gets one too, added to the app menu for the guest spot and removed afterwards, and their gallery joins the portfolios while they are in.
The Friday the 13th flash day
The flash sheet goes up in the app a few days before. A Flash section with short slots, open on Fridays with a booking window of a few days, joins the app menu for the occasion and is removed afterwards; a scheduled push notification goes out the evening before.
What your clients see before they get in touch
Each artist's portfolio
A photo gallery per artist or per style, from fine line to realism by way of traditional, so clients know who to ask before they even write.
The project request
A Form that asks for the idea, the placement, the size in centimeters or inches, black and grey or color, with one file field per reference photo, and emails you with each submission.
Available flash
The current sheet, with the size and price of each design; once a flash is tattooed, it leaves the gallery.
Getting ready for the session
Eat before you come, no alcohol the night before, wear clothes that leave the area free: the sheet to reread the evening before.
Aftercare
Day by day: when to take off the wrap, how to wash, which cream, how long to stay out of the sun and the pool.
The studio
Hygiene, address, opening hours and your rules for minors, which depend on your country.
One calendar per artist, guests included
Each consultation section follows its artist's Google Calendar
Each artist has a consultation section wired to their own Google Calendar; studio days and hours are set in the section. A guest artist gets one too, added to the app menu for the length of the visit with its opening days, then removed when they leave. A convention on the other side of the country? Entered ahead of time as a one-off event in the artist's Google Calendar, it closes their slots in the app for the whole show.
The consultation, booked in the app
Thirty minutes to talk the project through with the artist, before any drawing
A tattoo is not booked like a haircut: you talk about it first. Clients choose their artist, then a 30-minute consultation slot, and both the studio and the client get a confirmation email. The booking form stays short: name, phone, date of birth if you check age, the idea in one line. Reference images go through the project request, because the booking form does not take files.
Opening your books, then closing them
Booking window, minimum notice, closures for conventions and time off
Set how far ahead people can book: with 60 days, nobody takes a consultation more than two months out. Set a minimum notice of 48 hours, time to read each project request before the meeting. Split the day into time ranges, consultations from 11 a.m. to noon and from 6 to 7 p.m., tattooing in between. Enter your closures, convention or vacation: consultations already booked on those days are cancelled, and each client concerned gets an email. To close your books for several weeks, a single one-off event covering the period in your Google Calendar does it.
Long sessions stay in your Google Calendar
Set at the end of the consultation, they close the slots they overlap
A sleeve in three sittings, a six-hour session on a back piece: those appointments are not booked online, you set their dates with the client at the end of the consultation. Enter each sitting as a separate event in the artist's Google Calendar, from your phone, and the consultation slots it overlaps disappear from the app. The other way round, each consultation taken in the app shows up in that same calendar.
What AI does in a studio's app, and what it doesn't
It answers, adds a section and publishes for you. It does not draw or pick up the phone.
To answer
Healing questions, answered from your aftercare sheets
"Can I go swimming after a week?" The Chatbot finds the answer in your aftercare sheets and articles, then cites the sheet it came from. It books nothing, and replaces neither the artist's advice nor a doctor's.
$35/month
To extend
A day-by-day healing tracker
The AI Extension Builder turns a plain-words description into the section, in your app's design: clients enter the date of their session, and on day 3 the section shows the day-3 advice. Those dates stay on their phone.
Free
To publish
Friday's flash sheet, published from Claude or ChatGPT
MCP plugs the app into Claude, ChatGPT or whichever AI assistant you use. Hand it the photos of the sheet and the text of the announcement: it creates the gallery and sends the push to your clients, but only once you approve.
Included
Extension Store
Extensions for a tattoo studio. Appointment booking can be added to the Premium plan and comes with the Pro plan; the Chatbot is paid; Form, AI Extension Builder and MCP cost nothing.
Tattoo artists' questions about the studio app
Which app for a tattoo studio?
An app bearing the studio's name, on both the App Store and Google Play, with a web version, that brings together each artist's portfolio, project requests with reference images, consultation booking and your aftercare. You build it with GoodBarber, without code. It is neither a point-of-sale system nor a consent tool: payments and signed release forms stay in the tools you already use.
Can we take a deposit when clients book?
No: booking a consultation in the app triggers no payment at all, deposit or otherwise. Ask for the deposit the way you do today, at the consultation or through a payment link sent once the project is approved. Put your terms on the preparation page, so clients know them before they even book.
How do clients send their reference images?
Through the project request, a Form you put together: one file field per image, photo or PDF, next to the placement and the size. PDFs can't be sent from the native iOS app, so ask iPhone users for photos. Each submission triggers a notification email, and requests wait in the back office, ready for a CSV export.
Can an AI answer the phone or run the consultation?
No. The app does not pick up the phone, does not draw and does not advise on a project in the artist's place. The Chatbot answers in writing, drawing on the content you have published: aftercare, preparation, studio rules. It books no consultation; that stays a conversation between the client and the artist.
How do we handle a guest artist?
Add a section in their name to the app menu, wired to their Google Calendar, with its opening days; a one-off event in their calendar closes a specific day. Publish their portfolio in a gallery under their name and announce their dates with a push notification. When they leave, remove the section from the menu and keep the gallery for next time.
What about minors?
Add a date-of-birth field to the booking form, so you know it before the consultation. Age limits and parental consent rules are those of your country: spell them out in the app, on the studio page, and check ID on the day.
What about touch-ups?
A touch-up is short: clients book it on one of their artist's consultation slots. If you prefer to keep them apart, create a "Touch-ups" section with its own slots, open during hours the artist sets aside for them, Tuesday mornings for example.
How much does a tattoo studio app cost?
Native iOS and Android apps start with the Premium plan, to which Appointment booking can be added as an option; the Pro plan includes it. The Chatbot is a paid option, while the AI Extension Builder, Form and MCP are free. The Standard plan, a web version only, does not offer consultation booking. The stores bill the Apple and Google developer accounts themselves.
