Guides for tattoo and piercing studios
How Inksaro handles the work around the appointment: clients booking themselves, signing a waiver, paying a deposit, and artists getting paid.
Booking
Online booking for tattoo studios
A four-step public page. Slots follow schedules, blocked time, existing appointments, and chair capacity.
Waivers
Digital waivers for tattoo and piercing
Versioned wording, a signed badge on the appointment, and a parent or guardian signature for minors.
Deposits
Tattoo appointment deposits
Short payment links on the studio's own Stripe account. Unpaid public bookings let the chair go.
Payouts
Artist commissions, tips, and payouts
Split rules, a daily count against the terminal batch, and a ledger staff can open themselves.
Where to start
- Tattoo and piercing studios in Canada — priced in CAD, built in Toronto.
- Tattoo and piercing shops in the US — USD by default, CAD available.
- Hair salons, barbershops, nail studios, and spas — same system, with staff types and wording for that business.
- The blog — practical advice for studio owners and artists.
