Introducing a new tattoo appointment app

Managing your tattoo booking requests and appointments can be a hassle. DMs or email flying in, unstructured requests, manually sending and verifying deposit requests just to name a few things. That’s where our new tattoo appointment app, Project Open Books (POB), comes into play. This app is designed specifically to alleviate the administrative burdens faced by tattoo artists like you, allowing you to focus on what matters most: your art.

Our tattoo appointment app is more than just a booking tool; it’s a comprehensive business management platform that caters to the unique needs of tattoo artists and studios. Whether you're looking to streamline your booking process, secure payments, or scale your business, POB offers a range of features tailored to meet the demands of the modern tattoo industry.

What Makes Our Tattoo Appointment App Stand Out?

1. Streamlined Booking Process

Gone are the days of managing multiple channels for bookings. POB allows tattoo artists to create simple, custom intake forms that sync all submissions to a central hub. Whether clients are filling out forms on your website or through a public profile you set up on the app, every inquiry is centralized and easy to manage. This feature eliminates the need to check DMs, emails, and other forms of communication.

The app also offers lead capture, allowing artists to collect contact details from interested clients. This feature is especially useful for filling last-minute openings or promoting special offers. Instead of relying on Instagram posts to notify your audience when your books open, POB takes care of it for you, sending out automatic notifications to clients who have expressed interest.

2. Easy-to-Use Scheduling and Time Management

Once a booking is submitted and accepted, the app organizes your calendar, ensuring no overlapping appointments and managing rescheduling requests automatically. Clients are notified via SMS as their appointment approaches or if a last-minute slot becomes available. This feature reduces no-shows and ensures both parties are always on the same page.

3. Secure and Efficient Payment Processing

Managing deposits and payments is one of the most time-consuming tasks. With POB, deposits are automatically requested, tracked, and confirmed once received. The app even allows clients to pay in installments if needed. Additionally, it handles cancellation fees, rescheduling fees, and other financial transactions, ensuring that artists are always compensated for their time.

4. Comprehensive Studio Management

For tattoo studios managing multiple artists, POB offers the ability to oversee and coordinate appointments across different staff members. Studio managers can view all bookings in one interface, ensuring smooth operations across the entire team. Moreover, the app provides basic financial analytics, giving artists and studios insights into the health of their business over time.

5. Client Communication Hub

Rather than communicating with clients through scattered emails or social media messages, POB consolidates all conversations in one place. This makes it easy to share images, sketches, and drafts with clients before the appointment. For common questions, a chatbot is available to handle FAQs, saving the artist even more time.

6. Legal and Administrative Support

Managing waivers is another important aspect of running a tattoo business. POB helps artists create and file waivers based on country-specific templates. This feature ensures that all legal paperwork is properly handled, reducing the risk of liability for the artist.
