Intake
AI reads your DMs
Each message becomes a structured request (placement, size, style, references) on your board, automatically.
Booking OS for tattoo artists
Turn DM chaos into a booked, paid pipeline
Patron reads your Instagram DMs, drafts the booking, and runs your whole pipeline: deposits, no-shows, consent, aftercare. From $23.99 a month, and we never take a cent of your deposits.

The problem
You became a tattoo artist. Not an inbox manager.
DMs are a black hole
Inquiries get buried between memes and spam. You're doom-scrolling your inbox to find the people trying to give you money.
No-shows burn unpaid hours
You drew the piece. They ghosted. Without an enforced deposit, that's hours of custom work gone, and the chair sat empty.
Platforms tax your own clients
Marketplaces skim 10–30% of every booking, even clients you already had. You did the work; they take the cut.
The work
Everything a tattoo booking needs. Nothing a salon tool bolts on.
Pipeline
Approve-first pipeline
Requests land in Review. You approve, and the booking link and deposit go out. No open self-booking.
Canvas
Mark up references
Sketch sizing bounds and flag placement on a client's photo, right in the app. Re-editable, saved per request.
Protection
No-show protection
Card on file, a policy you set, and the fee captured automatically when someone ghosts.
Consent
Consent & waivers
A signable tattoo waiver: medical, ID, aftercare, photo release. Drawn or typed signature, stored per session.
Aftercare
Aftercare on autopilot
Wrap care, a 3-day check-in, a 2-week touch-up offer, sent for you after every session.
Payouts
Multi-artist payouts
Commission or chair-rental splits per artist. Deposits route 0%-fee to each artist's own Stripe.
Flash
Flash drops & waitlist
Open your books for a few days, then close. Requests waitlist and release in a batch when you reopen. A controlled drop, not an always-open calendar.
In the app
The whole booking, in one place.
Stop paying for your own clients
The big platforms got greedy.
Percentage fees quietly become the biggest line in your month. Patron is one flat price. The busier you get, the more you save.
