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 • One booking link. Clients pick a time, share their idea and pay a deposit in one go. • Deposits up front. Set your amount and policy. No-shows stop costing you the day. • One inbox. Every client message lives with its project, so nothing slips. • Your calendar, your rules. Set hours, buffers and session lengths that fit how you work. • Reminders that go out for you, so clients show up ready. FOR SHOPS • A live reception board with every artist, walk-in and appointment. • Kiosk check-in for walk-ins and consent. • Each artist keeps their own calendar and link. You see the whole shop. WHY ARTISTS SWITCH • Free to start. No credit card. • 0% booking fees on deposits. • Set up in about 5 minutes. Questions? Reach us in the app. A real person answers.
