The Platform
for Tattoo
Artists
Portfolio websites and booking tools built for the craft — not generic software bolted onto your name.
Free to start. No credit card required.
Why Inksite
Built for how artists actually work.
Every feature below exists because a real artist asked for it — or was losing money without it.
Discovery
Show up when clients search.
Other booking platforms hide your SEO inside theirs. One competitor openly says "without the hassle of SEO" — which means your portfolio builds their Google presence, not yours. Inksite portfolios are indexed under your custom domain, structured for search, and compounding every day you're on the platform.
Portfolio starts at $10/mo →- Your domain — yourname.com, not platform.com/yourname
- Google-indexed portfolio pages with structured data
- City directory listing — get found by location and style
- Every page you add makes your ranking stronger
Intake Forms
Clients show up with their reference photos. Before you talk.
No tattoo platform lets clients attach reference images at booking time. Inksite does. Clients submit size, placement, style, and photos before a slot is claimed. You review a complete brief — not a DM that says "something cool on my arm."
- Reference photo upload on every intake form
- Required fields: size, placement, style, reference images
- You see the full brief before the calendar opens
- Zero back-and-forth for information you already needed
Booking Control
You choose who sits in your chair.
Application mode flips the booking funnel. A client submits their intake first — you review, approve, and then the calendar opens. Vague inquiries get screened before they claim a slot. You run your books like the established artist you are.
See Chair tier →- Intake form first — calendar revealed only after you approve
- Policy gate shown before the form — clients read your rules before submitting
- Approve or decline without losing the slot to someone else
- No more explaining your booking policies to every new inquiry
Pricing Model
Your clients pay you. Not a middleman.
Some platforms add 10% to every deposit your clients pay. On a $300 deposit, that's $30 they didn't expect — and it compounds. Inksite Chair with Deposits is $31/month. You pay for the software. Your clients pay you.
