Affordable Tattoo Studio Software

"Affordable" depends less on the headline price than on how the tool bills. Most salon and booking platforms charge per seat or per calendar, so a three-artist shop pays three times the advertised number, then adds modules for forms or marketing. Tattoo Booking is $29.99/month per studio, unlimited artists, after a 7-day free trial.

What you get

Compare the studio total, not the headline

Multiply the per-seat price by every artist, apprentice and front-desk login you need, then add modules.

Watch for per-module add-ons

Forms, marketing, reporting and reminders are often priced separately on general platforms.

Check transaction fees

Some tools take a cut on top of the card processor's rate. Deposits here settle through Stripe at Stripe's standard rate with no extra platform cut.

Count the tools you'd retire

A calendar, a forms app, a spreadsheet and a payment link often add up to more than one studio plan.

No contract

Monthly billing, cancel from the dashboard. A 7-day free trial to test it with real bookings first.

Free tiers have a cost too

Free plans usually cap bookings or strip out deposits and forms — the two things that actually protect your calendar.

Get started

One flat price. No per-artist surcharge.

$29.99/month per studio. Unlimited artists, unlimited clients, unlimited bookings. Set up in under an hour — most studios import from Square or a spreadsheet.

Frequently asked questions

What is the cheapest tattoo booking software?
For a solo artist the cheapest option is often a free calendar plus a payment link, but that leaves deposits and consent forms manual. For studios with more than one artist, flat per-studio pricing is usually cheaper than any per-seat plan.
Is there free tattoo booking software?
Some general scheduling tools have free tiers, but they typically exclude deposits, tattoo-specific consent forms and per-artist commission tracking. Tattoo Booking has a 7-day free trial, then $29.99/month per studio.
Do you charge per artist?
No. One flat $29.99/month per studio regardless of how many artists, apprentices or front-desk staff use it.
Do I need a card reader?
No. All deposits and balances are collected online through Stripe. If you want to run a card in the shop, any Stripe reader plugs in.
Can I import my existing client list?
Yes — CSV import from Square, Acuity, Google Sheets, or a spreadsheet you export from your current tool. Setup usually takes under an hour.
Is there a contract?
No contract, no setup fee, cancel from your dashboard. We also offer a 7-day free trial if it doesn't fit how your studio works.
How is this different from Square or Acuity?
Square and Acuity are general-purpose. This is built for tattoo studios: deposit-first booking, tattoo-specific consent forms, healed-photo aftercare, and per-artist commission tracking.
