Intake
Messages become requests
Placement, size, style and references are pulled out of what the client wrote and laid out as fields on your board. Nothing is invented, and nothing moves until you approve.
Booking for tattoo artists
One request,
start to finish.
A DM lands at midnight. Patron reads it, drafts the request, and waits for you. Approve it once — the deposit is collected, the chair is booked, aftercare is scheduled.

Patron is reading this…
You became a tattoo artist.
Not an inbox manager.
Inbox
DMs are a black hole
Inquiries get buried between memes and spam. You're doom-scrolling your inbox to find the people trying to give you money.
No-shows
No-shows burn unpaid hours
You drew the piece. They ghosted. Without an enforced deposit, that's hours of custom work gone, and the chair sat empty.
Fees
Platforms tax your own clients
Marketplaces skim 10–30% of every booking, even clients you already had. You did the work; they take the cut.
Everything a tattoo booking needs.
Nothing a salon tool bolts on.
Pipeline
Approve-first pipeline
Requests land in Review. You approve, and the booking link and deposit go out. No open self-booking.
Canvas
Mark up references
Sketch sizing bounds and flag placement on a client's photo, right in the app. Re-editable, saved per request.
Protection
No-show protection
A deposit up front, a policy you set, and the no-show on record when someone ghosts.
Consent
Consent & waivers
A signable tattoo waiver: medical, ID, aftercare, photo release. Drawn or typed signature, stored per session.
Aftercare
Aftercare, lined up
Wrap care, a 3-day check-in, a 2-week touch-up offer, lined up and timed for every session.
Payouts
Every payment tracked
Deposits land 0%-fee in your own Stripe, with a running ledger of what each booking brought in and what is still owed.
Flash
Flash drops & waitlist
Open your books for a few days, then close. Requests waitlist and release in a batch when you reopen. A controlled drop, not an always-open calendar.
Stop paying for
your own clients
Percentage fees quietly become the biggest line in your month. Patron is one flat price. The busier you get, the more you save.
