◉ BUILT BY A WORKING TATTOOER
Bring tattoo requests, deposits, flash drops and client details into one place. Review the work. Set your terms. Keep the day moving.
Free to start. Transaction fees apply.
WORKING ARTISTS, REAL RESULTS
Every booking collects the deposit before I even open my messages. My calendar finally pays for itself before the appointment starts.
I used to spend two hours a night typing prices into Instagram DMs. Now clients book straight off my page and I just show up to tattoo.
No-shows used to eat a full day every week. Since clients pay a deposit to hold the slot, that day is back.
The standard
The toolkit
No more losing booking details in DMs. Clients submit structured requests — references, placement, timing and contact details — so you can approve the right work faster.

THE TATTOOER'S CHOICE
We know what it's like to spend 4 hours a night answering DMs only for half of them to ghost. CREW.INK was designed to solve the specific pain points of being a professional tattoo artist in 2026.
See the numbers behind that claim in the founder case study — 12 hours a week back from booking DMs, and an explicit list of what CREW.INK refuses to claim.
Built-in messaging
Bring supported client messages into the CREW.INK inbox, turn qualifying SMS conversations into booking context, and send configured appointment reminders.
Every plan includes every feature. Plans differ by the booking fee your client pays on each card payment (it covers card processing), support, and the merch fee — a share of profit, never of the order total.
// FREE
Client-paid booking fee on card payments9.9%
No monthly bill. Your clients pay a 9.9% booking fee on each card payment, and it covers card processing.
// PLUS
Client-paid booking fee on card payments4.5%
$39/month for a lower 4.5% booking fee on each card payment. It covers card processing, and the client pays it by default.
// PRO
Client-paid booking fee on card payments3.5%
$99/month for the lowest booking fee, 3.5% on each card payment. Merch takes 10% of profit, and you get a direct line to the team.
Owner reports + CSV exports are available now. Any future payment charges will be shown before payment.
Free is CREW.INK’s ongoing entry plan with no monthly subscription. One 9.9% CREW.INK booking fee applies to deposits and every other card payment for the tattoo, with a $2.50 minimum per payment. It covers card processing, so there is no separate processing charge. The client pays by default; artist-paid and split settings are available. Tips never carry a fee, and merch profit shares are separate.
Deposits are available on every plan, including Free. The client picks a time and pays through your booking flow; funds reach your bank the next business day. The booking fee is the client's by default, not yours, and it applies to the deposit and the balance alike: 9.9% on Free, 4.5% on Plus, and 3.5% on Pro, with a $2.50 minimum per payment.
CREW.INK keeps the request, schedule, reminders, and client thread organized so you are not relying on a DM pile. Payment-backed protections return after replacement processing is live.
A client texts Assistant's dedicated number and it takes it from there. Through a natural text conversation, it collects everything you need — placement, size, style, references, availability — and submits the completed request to you automatically. The client never has to open a link or fill out a form. They just text back. It lands in your inbox as a request for you to review.
Yes — 2-way Google Calendar sync is built in. Your CREW.INK availability stays in sync with your personal calendar automatically. Clients only see your real open slots — zero double-bookings, zero conflicts.
Yes. CREW.INK is built around the tattoo workflow first — you keep one artist account for life. A studio is a group you join or open on top of it, with a roster, a walk-in queue and shared reporting, and your own booking page carries on exactly as it was.
Deposits collect at booking and card payments reach your bank the next business day, deposited daily. Payouts are US-only for now. Every charge is shown before you pay anything.
Yes. Your client list is yours — we never sell it, share it, or use it for anything other than running your account. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. You can export your full client database at any time.
Claim your handle and take deposit-first bookings today. Free for artists, and it grows with you if you ever open a studio.
