Easy booking. My clients love it

I love the features in this app. The messaging and flash book saves me so much time. However, the 7% pay rates deter me from taking payment through porter.

Kills walk ins, can’t close the deal if they never start a real conversation

There are so many nuances to an artist quote, and it’s clear the developers don’t understand that. People stop actually coming, forget to finish the request, and I hafta call them to confirm anything. Making things easy enough to not do them at all. Worthless addition to your business.

Flashover Ink

This is the best and most inclusive software for tattoo shops out there. After several months of use I can say our shop of 7 artists enjoy the freedom this app has brought us.

Easy to use

I’ve been using this app for almost 2 years now. I keep the link in my bio where I reroute all of my clients to go to. I especially love how straight forward it is and it completely eliminates the same questions and motions we have to go through with clients; allowing me to focus on the drawing and less talking. I’ve had clients complain about the fees they have to pay when receiving the checkout link but luckily there are other ways to record payment (Zelle, cash, etc) and still keep things organized within the app. Overall, I plan on keeping this platform; I’ve adapted quick and I love it!

Great for tattooers

Have been using this for a while now to book clients and it’s life saving. Makes it so much easier and I’m glad that I can communicate with people all through here. Customer support is also always on top of it and super helpful, especially when I switched to being an independent artist from a shop that used porter. Made the transition super easy. 10/10
