Apprentice is booking software for tattoo artists, piercers, PMU artists and the shops they work in. We didn't start with software. We started at a front desk in Philadelphia, watching a shop run on DMs, a paper book and a group chat. Missed replies became lost bookings. No-shows ate whole days. So we built the tool that shop needed. FOR ARTISTS โ€ข One booking link. Clients pick a time, share their idea and pay a deposit in one go. โ€ข Deposits up front. Set your amount and policy. No-shows stop costing you the day. โ€ข One inbox. Every client message lives with its project, so nothing slips. โ€ข Your calendar, your rules. Set hours, buffers and session lengths that fit how you work. โ€ข Reminders that go out for you, so clients show up ready. FOR SHOPS โ€ข A live reception board with every artist, walk-in and appointment. โ€ข Kiosk check-in for walk-ins and consent. โ€ข Each artist keeps their own calendar and link. You see the whole shop. WHY ARTISTS SWITCH โ€ข Free to start. No credit card. โ€ข 0% booking fees on deposits. โ€ข Set up in about 5 minutes. Questions? Reach us in the app. A real person answers.
