About InkSigils
InkSigils was born from a simple observation: the tools available to tattoo and piercing studios were either generic business software forced into the industry, or outdated niche products that haven't kept up with how modern studios operate.
We studied every competitor — Porter, DaySmart Body Art, Venue Ink, TattooClient, Tattoo Studio Pro, Misfit Tattoo, and Linework — and built a detailed feature matrix to understand exactly where they fall short. Then we set out to build the platform the industry actually needs.
Our Mission
To give every tattoo and piercing studio the tools they deserve — a single platform that handles scheduling, client management, portfolios, payments, compliance, and communications without compromise.
What Makes Us Different
We didn't just build another booking tool. InkSigils is three purpose-built applications that work together:
- Studio Dashboard — the full command center for owners and managers — scheduling, clients, financials, inventory, marketing, and forms
- Client App — a real mobile experience where clients book, sign waivers, track their tattoo progress, and chat with their artist
- Artist Companion — a pocket-sized dashboard for artists — schedule, clients, earnings, and walk-in management on the go
Features Nobody Else Has
- Artist style categorization — tag and search portfolios by tattoo style
- Healed photo collection — automatically request healed photos from clients
- Flash gallery with instant booking — display designs with pricing and let clients book directly
- Full piercing support — jewelry inventory by type/gauge/material, downsize reminders, healing timelines
- Unified multi-channel inbox — SMS, email, Instagram DM, Facebook DM, and web chat in one view
- Inventory with low-stock alerts — track ink, needles, gloves, and jewelry — get alerts before you run out
InkSigils is currently in early access. We're building in the open and working directly with studios to shape the product. If you want to be part of that process, we'd love to hear from you.
