Appointa for tattoo & piercing studios — in practice

A tattoo studio runs at two speeds: short consultations where the design gets agreed, and long sessions that take half a day — with twenty-minute piercings in between. Enquiries arrive at all hours, while the needle is in your hand, and before any procedure you need consent and health details. Appointa keeps consultations separate from sessions, collects consent before the visit and lets you get on with the work.

Consultation first, then the needle

A new client books a free thirty-minute consultation online — a service's price can be zero. For the tattoo itself you switch off the price display and add a note such as “Price after consultation”, and you enter the long session agreed at the consultation yourself, from the client's card.

Consent in before the session

On Pro and Premium you attach the ready-made “Tattoo consent” template to tattoo services: it asks about skin conditions, allergies and clotting disorders, and requires a statement of legal age and consent to the procedure. The client fills it in beforehand; you review the answers before picking up the needle.

Guest spot in another city

An artist guests at another studio part of the month and keeps that in their Google calendar. On Pro and Premium you link that calendar to Appointa, so those commitments close the matching times for online booking, and Appointa appointments show up in the artist's calendar.

Bookings 24/7, no phone calls

Your page appointa.hr/s/your-salon works while the salon sleeps. Put the link on Instagram and your Google profile — clients pick the service, person and time themselves.

Fewer empty slots

An automatic reminder the day before, through the channel the client has — in the app, by SMS with the add-on enabled, or by e-mail. If someone cancels, the waitlist offers the slot to the next client right away.

The whole team's calendar

Shifts, holidays, days off — everyone sees their own, you see everything. Regulars? A recurring appointment in two clicks.

The questions that come up first

I don't want anyone grabbing a whole afternoon online without talking to me first. Can I approve every booking?

Yes. Switch off direct booking and every online booking arrives as a pending request: the client sees “Request sent!”, and you confirm or cancel it in the calendar or in Appointa Pro. While it's pending the time stays held, and if you don't respond, the request expires no later than 24 hours after it was sent. The rule applies to all services, consultations included.

Several artists work in the studio. Can everyone see what the others earn?

No. You send each artist an invitation with the staff role, so they log in with their own account on the web and in Appointa Pro. Staff see the whole calendar, clients and messages, but only their own figures on the dashboard and only their own receipts. Business reports, services and settings are visible only to you and your manager.

How can clients see my work before a consultation?

Add up to 30 photos to your gallery and give each a category — work samples for finished tattoos, before / after for cover-ups. Set your best one as the cover and arrange the order. The photos appear on your public page and in the Appointa app, so clients come to the consultation already knowing what you do.

My clients are older — they won't use apps.

They don't install anything — they book through a regular web page. And the ones who'd rather call? You add their appointment in a couple of clicks and everything else works the same: reminder, history, calendar.

How long does setup take?

Open an account in 5 minutes; the wizard walks you through opening hours, services and your team. Import existing clients from Excel — no retyping.

What about no-shows?

Mark the appointment as a no-show and Appointa keeps the history per client. Day-before reminders cut most no-shows anyway.
