Tattoo booking app

The tattoo booking app that lives in your bio link

Stop running your calendar out of your DMs. Tatvaro turns one link into a real booking app — clients send the brief, pay a deposit, and sign the waiver from their phone.

📱 No download for clients💳 Deposit locks every slot✅ Free plan to start

A tattoo booking app clients actually use

The best tattoo booking app is the one your clients don't have to think about. If it makes them create an account or download something, half of them bail. Tatvaro is a booking app that opens instantly from a link — your client taps it, fills out a proper request, and pays a deposit, all in their phone browser.

For you, it is a full booking dashboard: incoming requests with reference photos, a real availability calendar, deposits that route to your own Stripe, and automatic reminders so appointments don't ghost. It is the booking side of your business, finally out of the DMs.

Booking, done right

Everything a booking app should do — for tattoo

Real intake, real deposits, real reminders. Not a salon calendar with a tattoo sticker on it.

📋

Real tattoo intake

Design idea, placement, size, budget, and reference photos come in with every request — so you can quote without a single DM.

📆

Live availability

Set your weekly hours once. Clients pick a real open slot; double-bookings are impossible.

💳

Deposit to hold

No deposit, no slot. The money is down before you confirm, paid to your own Stripe account.

🔔

Auto reminders

Day-before and morning-of reminders go out automatically, so no-shows quietly disappear.

How it works

From bio link to booked, in three taps

Client taps your link

From your bio, story, or a DM reply. No account, no download.

2

They book & pay

Full brief, a real open time slot, and a deposit — all in the browser.

3

You confirm

Approve from your phone. Reminders handle the rest.

Why Tatvaro

Why a link beats a downloadable app

The tattoo booking apps that ask clients to download something lose bookings at the door. Here is the difference.

Why "no download" wins you more bookings

Every extra step between "I want this tattoo" and "it's booked" costs you clients. A booking app that requires a download or a signup adds friction at the exact moment someone is most motivated. Tatvaro removes that step entirely — your link opens a clean booking page instantly, so the client finishes the request while they are still excited about the idea.

It also protects your time. Because the deposit and the full brief come in together, the people who make it through are serious. You stop spending your evenings quoting tire-kickers in the DMs and start your day with a list of paid, ready-to-tattoo appointments.

Does the artist need an app?

You can run everything from the mobile web dashboard today — approvals, availability, deposits, and reminders all work from your phone browser. A dedicated iOS app for artists is on the way in Q4 for those who want a home-screen icon, but it is not required to run your entire book.

FAQ

Tattoo booking app questions

Do clients have to download the tattoo booking app?

No. That is the whole point. Clients book from your link in their phone browser — no download, no account. The optional app is for artists and arrives in Q4.

Can I collect a deposit when someone books?

Yes. You can require a deposit to lock any request, paid securely to your own Stripe account. No deposit, no slot.

Will it stop no-shows?

Two ways: a deposit is already down before you confirm, and automatic day-before and morning-of reminders go out to every client.

Can clients pick a specific time?

Yes. Set your weekly availability once and clients choose from your real open slots, so you never get double-booked.

Is there a free version of the booking app?

Yes — start free with a booking link and waivers. Upgrade to Pro ($79/mo) when you want full intake and deposits.
