TattooInn vs InkDesk for tattoo artists
InkDesk is tattoo booking software built for tattoo artists and studios, with scheduling, booking forms, client records, consent forms, messaging and reminders.
Checked on 30 October 2026.
A £400 first session
InkDesk does not describe bringing you new clients, so there is no new-client fee to compare. The difference is whether you want help finding clients at all.
On TattooInn the same session costs £6 when we found the client, and nothing when it is your own.
