The chair-side software that books, deposits, and follows up — so the artist just inks.
NeedleBooking replaces the paper intake, the deposit chase, and the manual aftercare emails. Every studio gets booking, calendar, intake, deposits, gallery, and reviews — free, with a 3% fee only when a deposit clears.
What it replaces
The three jobs every studio redos by hand.
Paper intake. The consent forms, the medical questions, the design reference uploads — the artist handles them once, online, before the client sits down. The artist opens the chair with intake already signed, not a clipboard in hand.
Deposit chasing. The follow-up to the DM quote. The "are you still in?" message. The abandoned-cart nudge. NeedleBooking captures the deposit at booking and follows up automatically — the artist only steps in when the client has actually replied.
Manual aftercare emails. Day-3, day-7, day-14 — the touchpoints every shop is supposed to send. NeedleBooking sends them automatically on the schedule, with a consent trail the studio keeps forever.
What’s included
Day-one, for every studio.
One platform, every feature on. No tiered plan to wrestle with, no “add-on” upsell to walk past.
- One inbox across Instagram DMs, Google Business, and SMS.
- Deposit capture + abandoned-cart follow-up.
- Day-3 / day-7 / day-14 aftercare consent trail.
- Per-chair intake routing and schedule isolation.
- A public gallery that turns finished work into the next booking — owned by the studio, indexed by search.
- A reviews surface that asks the right client at the right moment, not after they’ve already cooled off.
How money works
Free for every studio. A 3% fee when a deposit clears.
We don’t charge a monthly subscription. We don’t take 10% of the artist’s revenue. The 3% is added once, only on the deposit the studio collects, itemised on the receipt the client sees. Full pricing breakdown ↳
The artist still sets the tattoo quote and deposit policy. Our tattoo pricing guide covers hourly versus flat rates, deposit structures, regional context, and how intake qualifies the brief before payment.
Start free.
No credit card. No subscription. The 3% deposit fee only kicks in once bookings land.
