Software for tattoo and piercing studios
Boeked is booking software for independent tattoo artists, piercers and studios. Clients request a consult or book straight from your real calendar, while designs, deposits, medical intake and consent forms live in the same app — on your phone, tablet and computer.
Sound familiar?
A client calls about a big piece while you're mid-needle with someone else.
A 4-hour session gets booked into a one-hour slot by mistake.
Clients cancel with no deposit down, on a day you kept free just for them.
Age verification and consent forms sit on loose paper, or go missing.
Reference images and healing photos are scattered across WhatsApp and email.
Everything in one system
From the first consult to the deposit and aftercare: one app for the whole studio.
Consults before big pieces
Schedule a free or paid consult for large or complex tattoos, separate from the actual session.
Deposit required at booking
Automatically request a deposit for long sessions through your own Stripe account, so a no-show doesn't cost you the whole day.
Multi-session projects
Book a series of follow-up sessions for larger projects, with the right gap between each one.
Age verification & consent
Digital consent form with age verification, required before the appointment is confirmed.
Medical intake & allergies
Questionnaire covering medication, skin conditions, allergies and previous reactions to ink or piercing materials.
Designs & reference images
Keep sketches, reference photos and client wishes per project, ready for the next session.
Healing photos & aftercare
Send aftercare instructions automatically and collect healing photos in the client record.
Hygiene registration
Keep sterilisation and hygiene records per treatment, ready for inspection.

Tattoo studio software FAQ
Can I require a deposit for long sessions?
Yes. You set per service whether a deposit or full payment is required before the appointment is confirmed, through your own Stripe account.
Can I schedule multiple sessions for one big project?
Yes. You book a series of follow-up sessions with the right gap between them, for example a sleeve completed over several visits.
Can I handle age verification and consent digitally?
Yes. A consent form with mandatory age verification must be completed before the appointment is final, fully GDPR-compliant.
Can I store medical intake and allergies per client?
Yes. The client record holds medication, skin conditions, allergies and previous reactions, alongside designs and healing photos.
What does Boeked cost for a tattoo or piercing studio?
A flat €19 per month, VAT included with every feature, no per-booking fees. Online payments run through your own Stripe account at Stripe's standard rates. The first 30 days are free, no credit card. This covers solo professionals and small teams up to 2 staff; larger teams get an all-in quote with Boeked Pro+ based on the number of staff.
What happens to my client data and design notes and consent forms if I leave Boeked?
Your data stays yours. In Settings you download all clients, bookings, notes and design notes and consent forms in one click, with no export fee.
What do SMS reminders really cost?
Email reminders are included, unlimited. SMS runs through your own Twilio account at roughly €0.04–€0.08 per message, paid directly to Twilio. Boeked adds no markup. A double reminder costs two messages.
What if the internet goes down at my business?
Boeked runs online, like almost all modern software. There is no offline mode, but on your phone with mobile data the calendar and checkout keep working.
Who owns the client? Does Boeked send clients to competitors?
The client is yours. Boeked is not a marketplace: your booking page shows only your business, with no other providers or ads. Clients pay you directly, with no commission.
Do you help me switch and move my design notes and consent forms?
Import clients and notes from your previous tool with an Excel or CSV file. Design notes and consent forms kept on paper need to be typed in by you. Max, the setup assistant, guides you step by step.
Can I match daily sales with my card terminal? Does SumUp work?
Yes. The daily summary shows the number of sales and total per payment method (cash, card, other). You don't need a card contract through Boeked. There is no direct SumUp integration: take payment on your own terminal and record it as a card payment.
Do I pay per staff member? Can we log in at the same time?
Boeked costs €19 per month including VAT, for solo professionals and small teams up to 2 staff members. Everyone has their own login and you can work at the same time on your own phones. Larger teams get an all-in quote.
Can I require a deposit without an expensive add-on?
Yes. Deposits and online payments run through Stripe, no extra module. Stripe charges its own fees (EU cards about 1.4% + €0.25); Boeked charges nothing extra.
