Everything your studio needs to run smoothly

inkStar unites scheduling, CRM, contracts, payments, and staff management so artists can focus on the craft.

Built for appointment-first studios

From first consultation to final touch-up, inkStar keeps every interaction connected across devices, even when you go offline.

  • Deposit-Based No-Show Protection

    Every booking requires a deposit upfront. Automated appointment reminders go out via SMS and email at 24h and 2h before the session. If the client still doesn't show, you keep the deposit. Your tattoo studio schedule stays full, your income stays protected.

    • Mandatory deposit collection at time of booking
    • Automated SMS and email appointment reminders
    • Deposit retained on no-show to protect your revenue
