From first idea to booked session

What is tattoo booking software? #

CREW.INK is tattoo booking software for independent artists and studios. It brings requests, intake, deposits, reminders, waivers, flash drops, client history, and print-on-demand merch into one platform.

For custom work, the artist reviews the request before the client pays any required deposit and the appointment is confirmed. Supported instant-booking and flash flows can reserve available work directly.

Plans are Free, Plus, and Pro. Transaction fees still apply; payout timing depends on account eligibility, payment method, and available funds.

Why artists switch

Built around tattoo booking, not generic appointments

Requests before calendar slots

Clients send the idea, placement, references, budget, and timing first. Artists approve the right work before anyone grabs calendar space.

Deposits tied to the booking flow

Collect client-paid deposits, protect your time, and keep payment status visible from request to confirmed appointment.

Studio ops beyond scheduling

Run flash drops, client messages, public artist pages, shop sales, kiosk check-in, waivers, and follow-up from the same CREW.INK account.

High-intent fit

Use CREW.INK when a booking link needs to do real studio work

  • Custom tattoo intake forms with references, placement, size, budget, and timing.
  • Approval-first booking flow before clients pay deposits or take appointment slots.
  • Automated reminders, client history, flash-sale workflows, shop pages, and follow-up.
  • Public artist pages and booking links for Instagram, TikTok, websites, and QR codes.

FAQ

Tattoo booking software questions

When do tattoo deposits reach my bank?

Card payments, deposits included, reach your bank the next business day and are deposited daily. A successful client payment and arrival at your bank are separate events, so check the payout status and estimated arrival for your account. Payouts are US-only for now.

Read the deposit and payout guide

What makes CREW.INK tattoo booking software instead of generic scheduling software?

CREW.INK starts with tattoo requests, references, placement, deposits, flash, artist pages, and studio workflow instead of only open time slots.

Can solo tattoo artists use CREW.INK?

Yes. CREW.INK works for solo tattoo artists, private studios, traveling artists, and multi-artist shops that need booking software with deposits and intake.

Does CREW.INK include a booking app?

Yes. CREW.INK runs on web, iOS, and Android so artists can manage tattoo booking requests and client flow from the booth or the front desk.
