About
Get Ink is a dedicated booking and business management app built exclusively for tattoo artists and tattoo studios. It streamlines the entire client journey — from initial enquiry through to final payment — all within a single, easy-to-use platform. At the core of Get Ink is a customizable artist profile page where tattoo professionals can showcase their portfolio, list studio locations and guest spots, publish FAQs, and embed an enquiry form. Clients simply fill out the form to get in touch, eliminating the endless back-and-forth across social media and messaging apps. Key features include a full enquiry and appointment management dashboard, secure online payment collection for deposits and final balances (with Klarna and Clearpay support), Google Calendar sync to eliminate double bookings, and a flash design collections feature that lets artists display pre-drawn designs for clients to browse and enquire about. Automated SMS and email notifications keep clients informed at every stage, and built-in appointment reminders help reduce no-shows. Artists using Get Ink report saving over 4 hours of admin per week. The platform also includes a CRM-style client database, custom tagging for organizing enquiries and appointments, and shareable availability links to help fill cancellation slots quickly. Get Ink supports 6 currencies and is trusted by hundreds of artists and studios across the UK, EU, USA, Canada, Australia, Norway, and beyond. Whether you're a solo tattoo artist or running a multi-artist studio, Get Ink replaces a fragmented mix of spreadsheets, DMs, and payment apps with one streamlined workflow.

Cons
- Highly Niche Focus: Get Ink is built exclusively for tattoo artists and studios — it cannot be adapted for other types of appointment-based businesses.
- Paid Subscription Required: While a free trial is available with no credit card needed, continued use requires a paid plan, which may be a barrier for hobbyist or part-time artists.
