Tattoo scheduling software Your calendar. Your rules.

Tattoo scheduling software helps tattoo artists run their calendar: set when they work, book sessions without double bookings, and let clients pick a time online without a string of messages. Unlike generic schedulers, it is built around tattoo work. The artist decides how long each session takes, a piece can span several sessions, and a deposit can hold the date. With InkDesk you pick dates yourself from times that fit your availability, or send a scheduling link so the client chooses. Buffers, daily limits and Google Calendar are respected either way.

No. Clients send a booking request first, and you decide who to take on. They can only pick a time if you send them a scheduling link, and only from the times that fit your availability.

Yes. Suggested times and scheduling links only offer open slots, so the same time can’t be booked twice. If you pick a custom time yourself, InkDesk warns you when it clashes with a session already booked.

Yes. Pick the date yourself for some clients and send a link to others. Both use the same availability, buffers and daily limits.

Yes. InkDesk syncs with Google Calendar both ways. Sessions you book show up in Google Calendar, and Google events marked busy block that time in InkDesk.

Yes. Add a buffer to an availability for setup, cleanup or a break. InkDesk only offers times that leave that gap between sessions.

Put your InkDesk booking link in your Instagram bio, stories or DMs. Clients fill in your booking form with their idea, placement and references, and you get a request, not an appointment. You accept it, then pick a date or send a scheduling link.

Calendly and Acuity are built for any kind of appointment. InkDesk is built for tattoo work: clients request first and you approve, you set each session’s length, a link can require the deposit before the time is held, and every booking sits in a client project with references, messages and waivers.

The best scheduling app for tattoo artists is built around how tattooing works, not adapted from another trade. Generic schedulers let anyone grab a slot. They don’t let the artist set the session length per piece, ask for a deposit before the time is held, or keep references and waivers with the booking. InkDesk is made for tattoo artists and studios: request first, then pick the date or send a link, with buffers, daily limits, Google Calendar sync and deposits built in.

If you allow it. Each availability can let clients request a new time, with a limit on how many times and how close to the session. You approve or decline every request.

Yes. When you send a scheduling link, you can require the deposit for each session. The time is only held once the deposit is paid, and InkDesk takes no cut of it.
