Scheduling Software for Tattoo Artists
InkWell gives you full control over your schedule. Set your working hours, define slot lengths for different services, add buffer time between appointments, and block off days when you're not available.
Clients can only request times when you're genuinely free. No double-bookings. No back-and-forth.
The problem
Managing your tattoo schedule manually means constant back-and-forth with clients. "Are you free Thursday?" "What about the following week?" It's slow, and it's easy to accidentally double-book.
Most generic scheduling tools don't account for the reality of tattooing — sessions that vary from one hour to a full day, buffer time for set-up and clean-down, and the need to control exactly when you work.
Your calendar, your rules
InkWell's scheduling is built around how tattoo artists actually work. Set up once, and clients see only your genuine availability.
Weekly availability
Define your working hours for each day of the week. Change them any time.
Service-based durations
Different services, different time slots. A small piece might be 1 hour. A full sleeve session might be all day.
Buffer time
Add buffer time between appointments for set-up, clean-down, or just a break.
Holiday blocking
Block off days or date ranges when you're away. Clients won't be able to request those times.
Real-time availability
As bookings are confirmed, your availability updates automatically. No manual calendar management.
Benefits
Stop the DM back-and-forth
Clients see your real availability and request a time that works. You just approve or adjust.
Never double-book again
Confirmed appointments automatically block those times. One source of truth.
Deposits lock in the time
Slots aren't held until the deposit is paid. No time wasted on uncommitted inquiries.
Protect your downtime
Buffer time and holiday blocking mean your personal time stays personal.
