Collect Tattoo Deposits Securely Online
InkWell makes deposit collection simple. When you approve a booking request, set a deposit amount and send it to the client. They pay securely through Stripe, and the money goes straight to your account.
No more chasing bank transfers. No more "I'll pay on the day" no-shows.
The problem
Chasing deposits is one of the biggest time drains for tattoo artists. You agree a price, send bank details, then wait. Clients forget. Transfers get delayed. Some never pay at all.
Without a proper deposit system, no-shows cost you entire sessions of lost income. And manual tracking in spreadsheets or notes means you're never quite sure who's paid and who hasn't.
The solution
InkWell builds deposit collection into the booking flow. Quote, request deposit, get paid, confirm — all in one place.
Set your deposit amount
Fixed amount or percentage of the total quote. You decide what makes sense for each booking.
Stripe-powered payments
Clients pay securely online. Card details go straight to Stripe. You never handle sensitive payment data.
Clients pay from their phone
A simple payment link sent after you approve the booking. Clients pay in seconds from any device.
Automatic confirmation
Once the deposit is paid, the appointment is confirmed. Both you and the client get notified.
Refund support
Need to cancel? Issue a full or partial refund directly from your dashboard.
Benefits
Get paid faster
Clients pay instantly online instead of promising a bank transfer that takes days to arrive.
Reduce no-shows
A paid deposit means commitment. Clients who pay upfront are far more likely to show up.
Clear financial records
Every deposit is tracked in your dashboard with Stripe receipts. No more manual reconciliation.
More time for tattooing
Stop spending your evenings chasing payments. Focus on the work that matters.
