Booking, deposits and consent forms for tattoo and piercing studios. Clients book, pay their deposit and sign their forms before they arrive, so your day runs on time and your chairs stay full. Built for tattoo and piercing studios. Try it free for 30 days. BOOKING AND DEPOSITS - Run your day from the Calendar: Day, week, month, and list views, color-coded by artist, with view settings that stick between sessions. - Capture every request with Inbox: Share your request link or embed it on your site. Requests with notes and photo references land in one inbox, ready to book or decline. - Collect deposits at booking: Your confirmation goes out with a secure payment link, or copy a link from any appointment and send it yourself. Take the deposit at the counter and the link switches off, so nobody pays twice. - Automatic booking confirmations: Every appointment sends an instant confirmation text from your own template, honoring each client's SMS consent. Switch texts off per appointment. - Reminder sequences: Up to 5 timed SMS reminders per appointment, with live preview. - Track every appointment's status: Upcoming, Confirmed, Canceled, Completed, or No-Show. - Keep your team's hours straight: Studio and artist hours, time off so nobody gets booked while away, and a Schedule view of the whole team's week. - Sync bookings to your phone: One-way calendar sync puts your appointments on your lock screen, your Apple Watch, or wherever your calendar lives. CONSENT FORMS AND CHECK-IN - Paperless consent forms: Digital consent forms and health questionnaires in your own wording, in English, Spanish and more. - Log every ink and needle: Set up the inks and needles you use, then tick them off on each client's form. Lot numbers fill in automatically and land on the signed consent PDF, ready for your health inspector. - Online check-in: Clients fill out your form before they arrive and wait in the Queue, ready to check in with one tap. The Queue is your one dashboard for appointments, forms, and check-ins. - The right form every time: Attach a required consent form to each service. PAYMENTS AND CLIENTS - Take card payments in person: Pair a Stripe M2 card reader and take chip, swipe, and contactless payments with tipping, right from checkout. - Use Stripe as your POS: Ring up services and retail sales. Everything lands in your reports. - Know every client: Client profiles show visits, spend, and deposits at a glance, with purchase history in its own tab. - Track your finances: Sales, deposits, and reports in one place. YOUR STUDIO - Up and running in minutes: Signing up asks for your studio name and a PIN, not ten fields. A setup checklist walks you through the rest. - Invite your team: Role-based access keeps everyone on the same page. - Share your portfolio anywhere: Copy a public portfolio link or embed code for your socials, your site, or a client. - Get answers without leaving the app: Tap Ask Dot on any screen, or reach a person by email or a booked call. - Manage your plan in the app: Upgrade, switch plans, or manage your subscription without leaving Tattoo Studio Pro. - Keep it secure: Your data is stored in the cloud, with auto-lock controls to fit your device. - Run your studio anywhere: The companion web app lets you manage your studio on any device.

From the makers of REV23 Desktop for Windows, trusted by studios worldwide since 2010, REV23 is the next-generation management platform built for tattoo, piercing, permanent makeup, microblading, and removal studios. Whether you're a solo artist in a private studio or running multiple locations across state lines, REV23 fits. Take bookings online and manage your whole calendar in one place. Customers request appointments from your booking link, you confirm and collect a deposit, and reschedules or rebooks happen without ever leaving the appointment. Replace paper release forms with fully digital consent forms that capture ID photos, medical history, and signatures. Set up a tablet kiosk for self-service check-in, or share your Web Sign link so customers can sign from their phone before they even walk in. Track every service from waiting room to completion. Log ink with lot numbers, jewelry details, needles, and aftercare products for every session. Smart suggestions based on your history and the customer's past sessions make documentation fast enough that it actually gets done. Build a waiting list and fill last-minute cancellations with Ideas: your consultation inbox, waiting list, and cancellation filler in one. Share a single link on Instagram and let customers submit project details, reference images, and availability. Ring up services, retail, and gift cards at checkout. Take card payments in person with a supported reader or online at booking, add tips, discounts, and surcharges, email itemized receipts, and handle refunds, store credit, and gift card balances in one place. Pay your team with built-in payroll. Track commission and tips per artist, close pay periods, and produce pay statements and payouts. See what's working with built-in analytics: busiest days, top services, customer growth, and acquisition sources. No setup fees. No contracts. Cancel anytime. Card payments are processed by your studio's own payment provider, so full card numbers never reach REV23. 16+ years of industry experience, rebuilt from scratch for the cloud.
