Features

One tool at a time.

Patron is one system for running your books, from the first DM to the healed tattoo. Here is a closer look at the parts that do the heavy lifting.

Deposits and no-showsSolo & studios

Your deposits. Your Stripe. No cut.

Take deposits that land in your own Stripe, and set the policy that backs them up.

DM intakeSolo & studios

Turn a wall of DMs into requests you can book.

Turn a wall of half-finished inquiries into clean, structured requests you approve before anything moves.

Booking pagesSolo & studios

A booking page that looks like your work.

Give every artist a public page at their own handle: an editorial portfolio with a guided booking flow built in.

SchedulingSolo & studios

Book times that are really open.

Set your hours once and let clients pick from times that are really open, with no double-booking.

Design approvalSolo & studios

Settle the design before the chair.

Mark up a client's references and settle placement and size before anyone books, so there are no surprises at the session.

Consent and waiversSolo & studios

A consent form clients actually sign.

Build your own consent form, have clients sign on the day, and keep a signed PDF of every waiver.

AftercareSolo & studios

Aftercare that does not depend on your memory.

Line up the right aftercare steps for each piece, matched to the work and timed around the session.

Multi-artist payoutsStudios

Know exactly who earned what.

Track who earned what across the shop, with per-artist splits and a running ledger, on the Shop plan.

Front desk and check-inStudios

Reception that knows who walked in.

A live check-in queue, a lobby kiosk, and self check-in, so reception always knows who has arrived.

Team and rolesStudios

Your whole shop, with the right access for each person.

Invite your artists, give each one the right access, and keep a record of who changed what.

AnalyticsSolo & studios

Know what your books are actually doing.

See how many inquiries turn into booked work, what a session is worth, and where revenue is trending.

PipelineSolo & studios

Every client, one board.

See every client from first inquiry to finished tattoo on one board, instead of hunting through your DMs.

Client rescheduleSolo & studios

Rescheduling without the DM tag.

Let clients propose a new time from your real availability, and approve it in a tap.

After-hours auto-replySolo & studios

After-hours, handled with an honest reply.

Set a single after-hours acknowledgment that greets a late request, sets expectations, and never quotes or books.

Flash drops and waitlistSolo & studios

A controlled drop, not an always-open calendar.

Open your books for a short window, collect requests to a waitlist, and release them in a batch when you reopen.

Currency and taxSolo & studios

Money that reads right where you work.

Show prices in your own currency and handle regional tax, so the numbers match where you actually work.

Custom booking formsSolo & studios

Ask for exactly what you need to know.

Add your own questions to the booking form, so a request arrives with exactly what you need to know.

Not sure which fits you? See Patron for solo artists or for studios.
