Why You Need a Tattoo Booking App

For small businesses and solo artists, time and money can be tight.

The last thing you need is to chase down a client through text message or fumble with a paper scheduling system. You need an easy app that makes booking and communicating with clients faster and smoother.

A basic calendar app can work for a while, but many of them lack the automation and reminders that a growing tattoo studio needs.

At the same time, many so-called “tattoo booking apps” are overpriced and bloated with unnecessary features. Most of the time, they end up costing more time and money than they’re worth.

GoReminders is different. Designed by real appointment-based business owners, it’s fast, easy, and designed to keep your schedule full without undue hassle. Setup only takes minutes, and you’ll start seeing the benefits right away.

4 Benefits of a Tattoo Booking App

Here’s how the right tattoo booking app can transform your business:

Save Time, Stay Focused

Most tattoo artists got into the game for the love of the work and to create masterpieces for happy clients. The problem is, you also need to run a business. This means booking appointments, juggling calls, making last-minute schedule changes — you know how it goes.

GoReminders helps you regain time and focus. Automate scheduling, appointment reminders, marketing, and more — all with an easy-to-use booking app.

Reduce No-Shows and Boost Revenue

For a client, a missed tattoo appointment is no big deal. For a tattoo artist, it’s a loss you can feel — an empty chair generating zero revenue.

GoReminders helps keep your schedule packed with:

24/7 self-booking
Automated reminders
Calendar syncing
Rescheduling options
And more

That way, your chair stays full and your revenue stays steady.

All Your Clients in One Place

When you’re just working with friends, client tracking is easy. A hand-written note on a napkin might work. But, what happens when you reach 20, 50, or even 100 clients? That’s a lot of napkins. Instead, you need a simple but powerful system for managing client info.

With GoReminders, there’s no need to waste time digging through mailing lists. All your client profiles are stored in one easy-to-use system. Automatically personalize your reminders with specific client information, and create groups for message blasts, preferred artists, and more.

Project Professionalism

The average tattoo studio retains about 60% of its customers. Many of those first-time clients book based on a gut feeling about the studio. No one wants to feel like they’re getting jailhouse ink at an amateur operation. A touch of professionalism counts.

GoReminders shows clients you’re the real deal with:

Personalized reminders to keep clients engaged
On-brand reminder templates for consistent messaging
A clean, modern booking form that inspires confidence
Streamlined scheduling to help you stay on track

Investing in the right tattoo booking software shows that you take every aspect of your business seriously.

Why Tattoo Studios Love GoReminders

I just love everything about it! It's simple, easy to use, and all of my employees at the shop want to use it as well. GoReminders is definitely great in helping with no-shows and cancellations because we're able to send our clients two different messages. If someone needs to reschedule or cancel, they will just get that text and then be able to resolve that issue really quickly. In the end, I feel like it helped us to get really good and positive Google reviews from our clients because we have a nice system and clients like that organization.

Tiffany Perez, Ink Gallery Tattoo Studio

Sometimes my staff and I would come in knowing that we've got a very busy day of bookings—20 plus people in a day, and then find out that half of our day is now not showing up. GoReminders has really helped a lot for getting away from those no-show appointments, particularly because we are an appointment based service facility.

Kelly Brookes, West Coast Piercing

With GoReminders, it's very simple. They have an option where you can remind the clients twice. I found that this has been saving me a lot of time waiting for them to show up. This gives them an option to respond to the confirmation that they have an appointment coming up. And it gives you the ease of mind that they will be there. I recommend it to all my tattoo friends out there!

Jim Allchin, Island Avenue Tattoos

A few moments of my time and my clients get automatic reminders. Saves me time and they’ve never had that kind of service at a tattoo shop. My clients always ask “are you gonna send me a reminder for my next appointment?” Not kidding, they’re impressed as much as I am!

Chuck, Owner of Firehouse Tattoos

After 10 no shows in a couple weeks, we desperately needed to figure out how to do efficient appointment reminders. I am so glad we found Go Reminders. It is so easy to use and the features allow me to keep track of appointments for several artists in a busy Tattoo studio. We have had only one no show in the bast 6 or 7 months that we have been using them. That no show was due to a client who works 3rd shift falling asleep and missing it so that could not be prevented. I love that we’re able to separate not only the artists but also the different services we offer allowing us to set the type of appointment so we know whether to set up for consultations, decorative, cosmetic or Areola tattooing.
You can even set up a reminder to the artist as well so they know to have artwork done for the appointment. My artists also value the confirmations and rescheduling responses sent to them so they are aware of their own scheduling and/or last minute changes that they need to make.
I can not praise this company enough and could probably write a whole book on how great their services are. Weary of working with a new service we agreed to try it on a month to month basis for 3 months after a couple weeks we saw the value and have since changed over to yearly and saved a bit of cash. For $20 a month we have easily saved hundreds of dollars from no shows. If you have any questions about this service, I would be happy to answer them for you.

Brit Zane, Juli Moon Studio

One challenge for our tattoo shop was last-minute cancellations from clients who made an appointment but didn’t quite know what they wanted. This left valuable appointment slots empty for my in-demand studio and was causing us to lose money. Since implementing the GoReminders online scheduler tool as my tattoo shop app, we have been able to schedule text messages to remind clients about their appointments several days in advance, prompting them to make any final decisions about their tattoos. If a client needs to cancel, the empty slot then has time to be filled by another eager client.
