The booking platform built for tattooing.
Structured bookings, flash listings, deposits collected before you commit a date, and a searchable profile clients can find you through. Inkframe works alongside Instagram, not against it.

Fine-line botanical and geometric work in black & grey. Small, considered pieces, tattooed slowly, I take only a few clients each week.
- i.
Instagram wasn't built for bookings.
DMs, spreadsheets, and chasing deposits is not a system. It is a workaround you maintain by hand, every week, for free.
- ii.
Other platforms treat tattooing like a haircut.
Other platforms weren't designed for this craft. Inkframe speaks the language you already use, placement, size in cm, healed work, flash, deposits that hold a full day, in an interface built to the standard your own work is held to.
- iii.
Every algorithm change puts your business at risk.
Your booking pipeline shouldn't live on borrowed ground. One reach drop or one suspended Instagram account should never take your income with it.
One platform. Your entire business.
Structured booking intake
Clients answer every question before the request reaches you. Style, placement, size, reference images. No DM back and forth.
Flash design listings
List individual or sheet flash designs with price and availability. Mark pieces as available, reserved, or sold.
Deposit collection via Stripe
Holding deposits secured before you commit a date. No-shows become the client's problem, not yours.
Client discovery
Searchable by style, city, and placement. Clients who find you here are already looking for what you do.
Waitlist mechanic
When you're fully booked, clients join your waitlist. When a slot opens, they're notified automatically.
Healed photo verification
Past clients upload verified healed photos. The trust signal Instagram cannot replicate.
Every enquiry arrives complete.
Clients answer the questions you'd otherwise ask over a week of DMs, before the request ever reaches you. You open a booking already knowing the style, the placement, the size, and the idea.
- i.Structured intakeStyle, placement and size captured up front. No guesswork.
- ii.Deposit after they confirmYou review the enquiry first. The deposit is taken once you propose a time and the client accepts, secured by Stripe.
- iii.One thread, not twelve DMsThe whole conversation lives in one place you control.

The Australian tattoo industry is growing and professionalising
Artists run real businesses now, and clients are more discerning than they have ever been. The expectations have moved; the tools have not.
- ii.
The tools that exist weren't built for this craft
Generic booking platforms treat tattooing like a haircut. Social platforms confuse a professional portfolio with a feed. Neither was built around an artist's actual workflow.
- iii.
The window to build this right is now
The category is still open. What gets built in the next year sets the standard artists live with for the next ten.
- iv.
We're building with artists, not for them
Every screen in Inkframe has been shaped in direct conversation with working artists. The founding cohort continues that, with a direct line in.
