Affichr is tattoo studio management software that connects request review, artist routing, schedules, deposits, reminders, client history, and design approvals in one Studio workspace. Custom projects still begin with context; the artist decides what fits and which times to offer.
Free is the starting plan. Eligible new artists can try Pro for seven days without a card. Studio is a separate subscription for team workflows and is not included in the Pro trial. Compare plans.
Built by tattooer Nima Jolan · Shop manager, not just a calendar
Direct answer
Tattoo shop management software keeps booking requests, artist assignments, schedules, deposits, client history, consent, and follow-up connected across a studio. Affichr starts with the tattoo project: the shop reviews each request, routes it to the right artist, and offers controlled times before an appointment is confirmed.
Requests, references, deposits, drawings, openings, and follow-up create the daily mess. Affichr keeps that work beside the calendar so the right artist or manager can see it before it gets lost.
A shop manager needs to see which artist owns a request, what still needs a reply, and whether the next session is confirmed. Keep that handoff connected to tattoo client management and the studio appointment schedule, with access appropriate to each role.
A live shop, not a clean dashboard
Requests need routing. Deposits need checking. Openings need filling. Affichr keeps those decisions visible to the right people while the artist stays with the client in the chair.
Chair time / shop timeRole-aware studio workflow
Shared does not mean exposed. Each role gets enough context to move the booking forward while the artist keeps the project decision.
| Studio role | Work kept visible | Next useful action |
|---|---|---|
| Owner | Membership, studio booking setup, shared calendar state, and team-level loose ends. | Next: set access, invite the team, or follow the missing step. |
| Manager or front desk | Incoming requests, assigned artist, deposit state, openings, and booking status. | Next: route the request or bring the right person into the thread. |
| Tattoo artist | Idea, placement, references, client context, timing, and the artist’s own schedule. | Next: ask for more, decline, or offer up to four suitable times. |
One request through the shop
Each handoff has a clear owner and a next step. A routed request, a chosen time, and a confirmed appointment are different states.
The client sends the idea, placement, references, and availability. The shop routes the project to the artist who should review it.
Next: artist review. Routing does not confirm an appointment.
The artist checks project fit and duration, asks for details if needed, and can offer up to four selected times. The client chooses from those options.
Next: check the chosen time against the booking requirements.
Keep the deposit status with the booking. When a deposit is required, check that payment and the studio’s confirmation requirements are met before treating the appointment as confirmed.
Next: prepare the confirmed session with its request and client context.
Deposit collection depends on Stripe setup and the artist’s booking rules. See how deposit status stays with the booking.
Studio questions
The boundaries matter as much as the feature list.
Studio mode provides a public studio booking page, artist invitations, request routing, owner, manager, and artist roles, and shared scheduling and booking visibility. Each artist can still control services, availability, project fit, and the times offered.
Not for custom tattoo requests. The client sends project context first. The artist reviews the idea, placement, references, and timing, then can offer up to four suitable times before confirmation.
No. Shared studio visibility is role-aware and follows configured access. Working in one studio does not make every private client note or design visible to every member.
No. Affichr focuses on booking requests, scheduling, deposits, reminders, clients, designs, cancellations, and studio follow-up. It is not a full retail POS, payroll, accounting, or inventory suite.
Choose the plan for the way you work: Free to start, Pro for an individual artist’s expanded tools, and Studio for team routing and shared work.
The seven-day Pro trial is for eligible new artists; Studio is a separate subscription. Review the current plans or ask about your studio setup.
