Inkdesk

The CRM tattoo and piercing studios actually run

Inkdesk is a web application for tattoo and piercing studios. Its purpose is to help shops manage client bookings, consultations, card deposits, walk-ins, check-ins, consent forms, jewelry, and artist schedules in one place at inkdesk.online. Shop staff sign in with Google to access their Inkdesk account securely; Google Calendar access is used only when a shop chooses to sync appointments.

The tools you have were not made for this

Most booking apps were built for hair and nails, then stretched to cover tattoo work. So the parts that matter to you, consultations, references, deposits, per artist rules, feel bolted on and half broken. You end up patching around the software instead of running your shop.

Everything a tattoo shop actually runs on

Deep dives on every capability — open a section below or see all features.

01

Booking built for tattoo

Simple pieces book a slot in seconds. Cover ups and custom work come in as requests with reference photos, so the artist can quote before anyone commits.

Your whole day, live

Every artist and piercer, every chair, every hour on one board that updates itself. Who is in, who is waiting, who is next — tattoos and walk-in piercings at a glance.

Check in on the iPad

Turn any iPad into a front desk screen you run from your own computer. Check a client in and a code pops up for them to scan, or they fill the form right on the iPad.
