Built for Tattoo Shops

A missed appointment isn't just an inconvenience.

It’s lost chair time, lost income, and a gap in an artist’s schedule that can’t always be filled at the last minute.

That’s why deposits matter.

Tipping matters, too.

For many artists, tips are a meaningful part of every transaction, and customers expect a smooth checkout experience that makes tipping easy.

Then there’s the challenge of managing multiple artists.

Whether you’re running a traditional shop, working with booth renters, or managing a team of artists, knowing who earned what should be simple.

Tattoo sessions are getting larger, and more clients expect to pay by card, tap their phone, or split payments instead of carrying cash.
