InkBook review
Organizes tattoo inquiries, screening, and deposits—not design previews.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
InkBook is booking software for independent tattoo artists and studios, especially those who need to collect detailed client requests before accepting an appointment. Its hosted booking page and embeddable widget let clients submit placement, size, style, color, reference photos, budget, and medical notes. Intake also covers health screening, digital photo ID upload, and waiver consent. Artists can review requests from a dashboard and receive email notifications with accept or decline links. The focus is booking intake and studio administration, rather than designing tattoos or previewing them on photos.
The free plan includes a hosted booking page, client intake form, email notifications, and a basic dashboard. Pro costs $19 per month with annual billing or $29 per month with monthly billing; it adds automatic Stripe deposit collection, unlimited bookings, automated reminders, a custom cancellation policy, and priority support. Studio costs $59 per month annually or $79 monthly, and adds multi-artist support, a team calendar view, analytics dashboard, custom branding, and an embeddable widget. A 14-day free trial is available, and a card is not required to start it. The plan progression makes sense for a solo artist who first needs organized inquiries and later wants deposits, or a small studio coordinating multiple artists.
InkBook runs on the web and lists Stripe, Squarespace, Wix, and Shopify integrations. Its strongest fit is an artist who wants screening and booking administration in one workflow, with Studio suited to teams that need shared scheduling and analytics. Its narrow focus is also the main trade-off: it has no design tools, photo previews, stencil export, or tattoo gallery. Artists whose priority is creating artwork or showing a proposed tattoo on a client's photo should look for a separate design or preview tool; InkBook is for managing the request and appointment process.
