InkPoke is tattoo booking software built for tattoo artists, not adapted from generic salon tools. Artists get one shareable link — inkpoke.com/@yourname — holding their portfolio, services, availability and booking form, made to sit in an Instagram bio and replace endless DMs.
Clients submit a request with reference images, placement and size, so artists can quote before any conversation starts. The artist proposes a date, and the client pays a deposit to confirm — the slot stays open until that payment lands, which keeps the calendar free of unconfirmed holds and cuts no-shows. Deposits run through Stripe.
The interface is available in 33 languages, with client emails localised in English and French — most tattoo booking platforms are English-only.
Setup takes about five minutes. The free plan covers 15 bookings a month, 25 portfolio images and deposits, with a 2.5% InkPoke fee on payouts. Pro is $14.99/month with no InkPoke fee and no limits. Stripe fees apply on both.
