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

Great setup for shops
Clients have loved it and the chat feature makes it easy to communicate. There are several different ways to customize your setup. Devs are responsive and open to feedback. Shop/artist payment splits make payouts easy. Several more features make Porter awesome. Been using it for months and will continue for the foreseeable future!

I’d recommend this app to any tattooer.
I started using this app last year at my shop and love it. It’s very user friendly for not just the artist but the client as well. To top it off, the developers are very responsive and are always looking for new ways to make the app better.
Big fan of Porter!
I've been using Porter for around 6 months now and have truly been loving it for booking my appointments the easiest way possible.
Porter has made the booking process so much easier for me since I've become busier with tattooing. As I've been using this app, the developers have been consistently adding new features that make it so much easier for me to get all the information I need from a client.
I once realized there wasn't an option to input pronouns, so I emailed their support team. I received a response within a day, and they had added a new section for clients to add their pronouns.
I will say, the price-point is steep. However, for the customer service, constant improvements, and ease of booking appointments, I don't think there's an app out there that can compete. Everyone at my shop truly loves using this app and the accessibility.

Do not use
The developers aren’t listening to the actual users. We want phone numbers on the request form. It’s a mid app at best, but the things we really need they don’t care about. Do not download, do not give them money.
A good start
Everything is pretty good. I can’t call the requests and discuss ideas tho. I want to manually set up the appointment after fully understanding the idea over the phone. Having all of the information would be nice.
Efficient software
This is a fantastic software, and I will recommend it to my friends.
Best app
Porter is the best helped my booking process so much!
Needs a ton of work
Seems a lot more like a beta, most aspects of program are glitchy and unreliable. I’ve never had issues getting my appointments scheduled correctly UNTIL using this app, not impressed.
So good.
Much better than my previous booking system by lightyears.
Good but…
The text boxes don’t expand or let you see what you’re typing out to your client besides a few words. Would be a great and needed fix thanks a lot
Life Changing
This app has completely upgraded the way our shop runs. Scheduling and payments and records are so much easier. Going paperless with waivers is so much more organized. I literally can’t be happier.
Pay to use
Better off using social media and paying with cash and/or Zelle
Sleek design
Practically covers everything even marketing aspect. Although there is some things i wish could be changed like the ability to edit clients appointments directly or showing everyone schedules more organized for the shop owner for the staff instead of having everyone schedules overlapping. Writting down everyone’s information especially for walk ins could be off putting at first but the extra step helps if your contributing to the marketing strategy. People complain about so little things and it can be hard but you can’t please everyone! This app is VERY effective overall!!! I would give 10 stars

Makes my life easier
I’ve been using this app for awhile maybe a year and I have to say that I’ve only had one no-show the whole time that I’ve had it because it reminds clients 24 hours before and an hour before so if they need to reschedule they have ample time to. The only reason I’m giving it four stars is because there are some bugs and glitches, but I believe that most of them are improving.

Could use improvement
First, the app almost always calculates the percentage wrong while seperating money between the artist and studio. Gives the manager no option to choose the correct percentage for the transactions. Say you are working with 30% cut, it automatically calculates as 40% and you have to e-mail to support each time to send the rest of the money. Shouldn’t be difficult to make the artist/manager to choose the percentage while creating an appointment. We are this 🤏🏻 close to switch to another app.
Second, no instant chat support within the app. And the support sometimes doesn’t even reply your emails.
Third, gives you no customizing option for color/font etc. Orange seems unprofessional especially if you are going for sleek branding. At least make it all black, everyone is happy.

Easy to use
I’ve been using this app for a over a year 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. If I could be a little nit picky, I wish there was a search bar at the top where I could search clients to see when their appointment is. I typically have to go day by day to find it. 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!
