Tattoo artist CRM
Tattoo artist CRM for clients, projects, bookings and sessions
InkLinka helps tattoo artists organize client requests, tattoo ideas, references, bookings, deposits, appointments and session history in one connected workspace.
No more searching through DMs before a session - every client, idea, reference and appointment stays connected to the tattoo project.
Built for solo tattoo artists, resident artists, guest artists and artists working inside studios.

Tattoo artists should not have to manage clients from memory
Many tattoo artists manage bookings, references, client notes and session details across Instagram DMs, WhatsApp, email, screenshots, personal notes and calendar events.
That works until details get lost: the client reference image, the agreed size, placement, deposit status, previous session notes or the next appointment. InkLinka gives artists a structured place to keep the full client and project context together.
Reference images lost in DMs
Client notes scattered across apps
No clear history of previous sessions
Deposit status unclear before appointment
Calendar events without project context
Difficult handoff between artist and studio manager
Guest artist bookings managed manually
One workspace for every tattoo client and project
InkLinka is designed around how tattoo artists actually work: ideas, references, consultations, bookings, deposits, sessions, progress updates and repeat clients. Instead of separating everything into different apps, InkLinka keeps the artist workflow connected.
Client profiles
Keep client contact details, notes, booking history and project context in one place.
Tattoo projects
Create structured project cards for each tattoo idea with references, placement, size, notes and status.
Reference files
Store reference images and project files where they belong - inside the client project.
Bookings and appointments
Connect booking requests and calendar appointments to the client and tattoo project.
Deposits
Track whether a project or appointment has a paid, pending or missing deposit.
Session history
Keep every session connected to the project, so repeat work and multi-session tattoos stay organized.
How InkLinka works for tattoo artists
Step 1
Receive a client request
Collect client details, tattoo idea, placement, approximate size, references and preferred dates through a booking form, studio widget or manual entry.
Step 2
Create a tattoo project
Turn the request into a project card with references, notes, placement, style, artist and status.
Step 3
Connect the appointment
Add or confirm an appointment that stays linked to the client and project, instead of becoming an isolated calendar event.
Step 4
Track deposit and readiness
See whether the deposit is paid, pending or missing before the appointment.
Step 5
Record session progress
Keep session notes, files, updates and payment context connected to the project.
Step 6
Build long-term client memory
When the client returns, the artist can see previous projects, notes, references and session history without searching through messages.
Not a generic CRM - a CRM built around tattoo work
Generic CRMs are usually designed for sales pipelines. Tattoo artists need something different: client memory, visual references, project context, session history, deposits and appointments connected together.
Built for different types of tattoo artists
For solo tattoo artists
Manage your own clients, booking requests, deposits, projects and appointments without building a complicated admin system.
For resident artists
Keep your client projects and session history organized while working inside a studio workspace.
For guest artists
Collect requests before a guest spot, organize selected clients and keep project context visible to the host studio.
For private tattoo artists
Keep personal bookings, client notes, references and session history structured without relying only on DMs.
For repeat-client workflows
See past projects, notes and session history when a client comes back for another tattoo.
Everything an artist needs before the appointment
Before a tattoo session, the artist needs more than a time slot. They need the idea, references, placement, size, client notes, deposit status, design readiness and session context.
InkLinka helps artists keep this context connected before, during and after the appointment.

Give clients a structured way to request a tattoo
Instead of asking every client to send scattered information through DMs, artists can collect the important details through a booking link or studio form. The request can then become a project, appointment and client record.
