Your inquiry form
Put the link in your bio or auto-reply. Clients fill in the idea, placement, size and budget, and upload references, before you spend a minute in DMs.
OpenInk Studio is the booking tool we built for tattoo artists and shops, on its own site at openink-studio.com. Clients answer your inquiry form, you send a booking link with a few times and the deposit, and whoever pays first gets the slot.
Put the link in your bio or auto-reply. Clients fill in the idea, placement, size and budget, and upload references, before you spend a minute in DMs.
Pick a few times and set the deposit. Your cancellation and refund rules are shown to the client before they pay.
Once the deposit is in, the session is on your calendar and the client gets a confirmation. The money goes to your own Stripe account, and a reminder goes out the day before.
Set up your page and form, connect Stripe, and put the link in your bio. The next person who writes in can go straight from the form to a paid deposit.
