Tattoo studio booking software that gets booking out of your DMs.
Tattoo studio booking software for shops and private studios. Clients request a consult or session on your own website with placement, size and style, you approve it, and reminders go out before every sitting. No app and no login.
- Approve every request first
- A deposit when they book, off the final bill
- Every sitting of a big piece, booked at once
Request a tattoo,
the way your clients will.
Click through it. A client picks a session, an artist and a time, answers your questions, and sends a request you approve, without creating an account.
Placement and rough size? *

The studio will confirm your time, then remind you the day before and an hour before.
A preview with sample data. Nothing is booked.
You're tattooing.
Your website isn't.
While you're working, the AI receptionist on your website answers questions about your artists, prices and shop rules, books consults the client confirms with a tap, and passes anything custom to you.
A preview with sample data. Your assistant uses your own services, prices and notes.
Made for how
a shop actually books.
Booking software that knows custom work starts with a request, big pieces take several sittings and every artist has their own rate.
Approve every request first
Online requests wait in a Requests list until you accept or decline, so nobody books a sleeve you haven't seen.
Ask about the tattoo up front
Required questions for placement, size, style and colour, and a yes/no for 18 or over. Answers are saved to the client's record.
Book every sitting at once
Book all the sessions of a big piece every 1 to 12 weeks, up to 26 visits, with clashes flagged before they're booked.
Answers at 2 am, so you don't have to
The AI receptionist answers questions about styles, prices and shop rules, books consults, and hands custom requests to you as leads.
Fewer flaky consults
Reminders a day and an hour before, a deposit when they book, and a saved card that covers the no-show fee. Block the clients who keep not turning up.

Questions tattoo artists ask.
Straight answers, including what FreshBookings doesn't do yet.
Can clients pay a deposit when they book?
Can clients pay for a consultation upfront?
A consult takes your deposit like any other booking, and it comes off the bill. There's no separate consultation fee. If your deposit is a percentage, give the consult a price, or a free consult has nothing to pay.
Can I set a bigger deposit for a bigger piece?
Not yet. There's one deposit rule for the studio. A % deposit grows with the price of the session, so a half day takes more than a small piece.
Can I review requests before they're booked?
Yes. Turn on "approve bookings first" and online bookings go to a Requests list for you to accept or decline. The client is told either way.
Can clients upload reference photos?
Not on the booking form. You can ask required questions about the idea, placement, size and style, and follow up by text from your own number.
Can I book every session of a sleeve at once?
Yes. Recurring bookings repeat every 1 to 12 weeks, up to 26 visits, and the preview flags clashes before anything is booked.
Can each artist set their own rate?
Yes. Prices, session lengths and commission can be set per artist, and tips are tracked per artist in the payroll report. Booth rent isn't tracked.
My books are closed. Can I stop new bookings?
Yes. Turn the booking form off, or let one artist stop taking new clients while their existing clients can still book.
Can I make sure clients are 18 or over?
You can add a required yes/no question to the form, and photo ID is still checked at the shop. Signed consent forms aren't available yet.
Does the AI receptionist reply to Instagram DMs?
No. It's a chat on your website. Link your website from your Instagram bio so clients find the form and the chat there.
What happens when a client no-shows?
Mark the no-show and the fee is filled in from your default. The deposit counts towards it, and the rest is charged to their saved card. You can ask every client to save a card when they book online, or only the clients you flag. Reminders a day and an hour before and a cancellation window cut no-shows in the first place, and you can block clients who keep not turning up.
Do you have a waitlist for cancellations?
Not yet.
