Linework review
A broad booking and studio toolkit with free plans and transaction-based pricing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Linework brings booking, client management and financial administration into one service for independent tattoo artists and multi-artist studios. Online booking pages accept deposits, while a shared calendar offers day, week and month views. Digital consent and health-history forms, client profiles, payment histories, receipts and invoices with payment links support the client workflow. Studio operations are covered with commission-split and booth-rent management, reminders, and tax-ready financial reports. Artists can use iOS and Android apps; managers can use the web app.
The plans are structured around transaction fees rather than feature access. Artist Free and Studio Free cost $0 per month and include every feature, with a 6% transaction fee. Artist Pro and Studio Pro cost $19 per month and also include every feature; transactions incur only Stripe’s fee of 2.9% + 30¢. That makes the choice a tradeoff between monthly cost and processing fees, not access to different capabilities. Artists and studios considering a paid plan should compare expected payment volume against the monthly charge and applicable Stripe fee.
The feature set spans front-desk tasks and studio finances, which may suit operators who want booking, deposits, forms, reminders and reporting together rather than separate tools. Stripe is the listed payment integration, and email is the listed support channel. Linework is a fit for solo artists and studios that value an all-in-one workflow and can work with Stripe; a shop requiring other payment integrations or a different support channel should compare alternatives. The free plans are a practical starting point, while Pro is intended for users weighing its monthly price against the lower transaction rate.
