Worth knowing up front.
Before you try a tool, you want to know what it doesn't do as well.
Money doesn't pass through Inkstay.
The deposit goes from the client straight to you. Inkstay takes no payment and no commission. You mark when the payment has arrived.
It doesn't connect to Instagram or WhatsApp.
You share the link, and you send WhatsApp messages from your own phone. Inkstay doesn't read your DMs.
Your studio writes the care instructions.
If you like, start from a sourced starter text; edit it and publish it in your own name. Inkstay delivers the instructions to the client and gives no medical advice.
Your clients don't have to download an app.
The request, the quote and the consent form work without an account. To move on to a care plan, the client verifies their email and opens the plan in their phone's browser.
It's a new product.
We have no live studios yet. We're building it with the first 6 studios, and we make no claims about client numbers or results.

Requests and quotes
What studios ask first.
Do my clients pay for Inkstay?
No. The studio pays for Inkstay. The request form, the quote page and the care plan are free for clients.
Does Inkstay collect the deposit?
No. Inkstay takes no money and doesn't sit between you and the payment. Clients see the payment details you wrote and send the deposit straight to you. When it arrives, you mark it received.
Do I have to leave Instagram?
No. Instagram stays your shop window. Put your request page link on your profile and send the same link to anyone who asks in DMs. Everything after the request stays on record in Inkstay.
Do clients need an account or an app?
Not for a request or a quote; both work with no account. To move on to a care plan, the client verifies their email and can open the plan from a web link.
Who writes the aftercare instructions?
Your studio does. Just as an artist hands out their own aftercare sheet today, the studio is the author of its instructions and responsible for them: an owner or manager publishes them after confirming a responsibility statement. If you like, copy one of Inkstay's sourced starter texts and edit it to match your own practice. Inkstay does not review the content; it delivers the instructions to the client and does not diagnose a tattoo or suggest treatment. Every plan ends with a fixed section telling the client to contact a health professional, without waiting for the studio, if warning signs appear.
How many studios use it?
We have no live studios yet. We're looking for the first 6 and building the product with them. We make no claims about client numbers or results.
Be one of the first 6 studios.
We're starting with independent studios of 1 to 5 artists. The founder reads every application and writes back personally.
