"What days are you open?" — never type that again. Set your availability once and clients book a real open slot, drop a deposit, and get reminded automatically.
Tattoo appointment scheduling has to handle sessions that run anywhere from an hour to a full day, deposits that hold the slot, and consent paperwork that has to be signed before the client arrives. Generic scheduling tools assume fixed-length services and have no place for any of that, so artists end up negotiating times in the DMs and writing appointments in a paper book.
Tatvaro is scheduling built for the chair. You set your weekly hours and session length once; clients see your true availability and lock a slot with a deposit. Reschedules and cancellations happen through a self-serve link, so your calendar stays accurate without you touching it.
Live availability, deposit-locked slots, and reminders that cut no-shows — without you managing a calendar by hand.
Set weekly hours and slot length once. Clients only ever see times you are actually open.
A slot is only held once the deposit is paid, so your calendar fills with committed clients.
Clients reschedule or cancel from their own secure link — your calendar updates itself.
Day-before and morning-of reminders go out on their own, so appointments stop ghosting.
See a client pick a real open time, pay a deposit, and land on your calendar — no messages exchanged.
Choose your weekly availability and session length once in the dashboard.
They book a real open time and pay a deposit to lock it in.
Automatic reminders go out; reschedules update your calendar on their own.
Here is why tattoo scheduling needs its own tool.

The single biggest scheduling problem in tattooing is the no-show. A client picks a time, disappears, and you lose a chair you could have filled. Tatvaro fixes it at the source: a slot isn't reserved until the deposit clears. That one rule means the times on your calendar are backed by money, not just good intentions.
Reminders close the rest of the gap. Because Tatvaro sends a day-before and a morning-of nudge automatically, the occasional forgetful client gets caught before they cost you the slot — and you never have to remember to text anyone.
When life happens, the client changes their own appointment through a secure link that only shows your real open times. Your calendar stays correct, the deposit carries over, and you find out through a clean notification instead of a 9pm text thread.
