inkStar brings booking, calendars, client records, deposits, forms and reminders into one studio-management platform for solo tattoo artists and multi-artist studios. Its web, iOS and Android access, plus offline mode with automatic syncing, suit artists who need to manage appointments in the studio or while internet access is unreliable. Studio managers can also coordinate artist schedules and follow commissions and revenue. It is a broader operational fit than a booking-only tool, particularly for growing teams that want client and payment workflows connected to scheduling.

The monthly plans add capabilities in clear steps. Starter costs €8.99 per month and includes an appointment calendar with suggestions, a booking page, customer profiles, payment tracking and deposits, Google and Apple calendar sync, and offline mode. Plus is €29 per month, adding an AI time-slot finder, digital contracts with e-signatures, SMS notifications, report dashboards, tags and attachments. Pro costs €99 per month and adds employee management, schedules, commission tracking, multi-location setup, branded pages and role-based permissions. Enterprise includes custom integrations, a dedicated account manager, SLA guarantees and priority onboarding; its price is custom. A seven-day trial is available without a credit card.

Calendar connections include Google Calendar and Apple Calendar, while payment integrations include Mollie, Klarna and PayPal. The platform also lists an API, and support is available by email, chat and documentation. These connections make inkStar relevant to studios that want scheduling and payments tied into existing tools, while its offline access is a practical differentiator for convention work. The trade-off is tiering: Starter covers core booking and deposits, but studios needing digital contracts or reporting must move to Plus, and team controls such as roles and multiple locations sit in Pro. Solo artists with straightforward needs may find the higher tiers unnecessary; studios coordinating staff, payments and client paperwork are likelier to benefit.

inkStar pros and cons

  • Where it wins
    • Combines online booking, client records, deposits and appointment reminders.
    • Offline access with automatic syncing supports work away from reliable internet.
    • Plus and Pro add e-signatures, reporting, team schedules and commission tracking.
  • Where it doesn't
    • Starter lacks digital contracts, SMS notifications and report dashboards.
    • Multi-location setup and role-based permissions require the €99/month Pro plan.
    • Enterprise pricing is custom rather than published as a monthly amount.
