The essentials
What you actually get
- 01
Sessions, not slots
A consult is thirty minutes, a full sleeve session is six hours. Each service carries its own duration and buffer, so a sitting books as one block.
- 02
A book per artist
Every artist keeps their own hours and service list. Clients pick their artist or Anyone available.
- 03
Ask before the chair
Custom booking questions capture placement, size, reference links and whether it is a cover up. The answers sit on the appointment.
- 04
Reminders before a long sitting
A confirmation email on booking and a reminder before the session, so a six hour block does not go empty.
- 05
Looks like your studio
Your logo, colours and font on the booking page and confirmation emails. No directory branding on top of yours.
- 06
Nobody books over a sitting
Availability validates the full session length against artist hours, buffers and existing appointments before a slot is offered.
FAQ
Questions people ask
Is there an affordable tattoo booking app?+
The Free Beta plan is free for a full booking page, unlimited appointments and email reminders. Paid plans are a flat price per location rather than a cut of your work.
Can I take a deposit for a session?+
Not today. ZenSched handles the calendar and the booking experience. Most studios keep collecting deposits the way they already do and use ZenSched for scheduling and reminders.
How do I handle consults separately from sessions?+
Create them as two services with different durations and buffers. A consult can be thirty minutes with a short buffer, a session six hours with a longer one.
Can guest artists be added for a week?+
Yes. Add them as a staff member with their own hours for those dates, then deactivate the seat when the guest spot ends.
Can each staff member have different working hours?+
Yes. Every staff member has their own hours and service list, and business hours support multiple windows a day so lunch breaks and split shifts are respected. Availability is calculated per person.
How do you prevent double bookings?+
The public booking endpoint is transactional and rate limited. It validates the full service duration against staff hours, existing appointments and capacity in a single call, so two clients hitting the same slot cannot both win.
Can I take deposits or payments through the booking page?+
Not today. ZenSched focuses on the calendar and the booking experience. Payment collection is on the roadmap; for now most customers collect payment in person or through their existing processor.
Do you send SMS reminders?+
Not yet. Reminders go by email today. If SMS is a hard requirement for you, tell us — we ship based on what customers ask for.
