Calendar
See the week without opening your whole schedule.
Tattooer-built booking
When a tattooer builds a calendar and booking app, the options fit.
Tattoo-first tools you'll actually use: reviewed requests, flash, deposits, client notes, reminders, and a calendar built around custom work instead of generic appointment slots.
No card required. We'll save this email for setup and product updates. You can unsubscribe anytime.

The artist stays in control
Your calendar isn't a buffet. Clients don't pick a slot — you confirm one.
A 3-hour custom piece isn't a haircut. You need to see the brief first. Affichr handles the chase — you hold the gate.
- Reviewed bookings only. Clients submit a brief; you accept, decline, or follow up.
- Offer specific times. Send 4 targeted slots to a client instead of opening your whole calendar.
- Fill canceled openings. Broadcast a freed slot to clients whose preferred timeframe matches.
- Deposits without chasing. Generate a Stripe deposit link in one tap — the appointment confirms when it's paid.
- Consultation notes stay attached. The brief, references, and decisions live on the appointment, not in a DM thread.
End-to-end workflow
From a DM to a debrief, in one place.
The whole session flow. Request → deposit → confirm → debrief. Not just a slot on a grid.

Compare the workflow
The calendar matters. The work around it matters more.
Most booking tools can hold a time. Affichr keeps the request, client context, deposit, consent, consultation, and design work attached.
Review before booking
Clients send context first. The artist decides the next step.
Calendar control
Curated slots and cancellation broadcasts keep availability intentional.
Creative follow-through
References, consent, designs, and notes stay tied to the appointment.

Consultation notes
Briefs, decisions, and references — attached to the appointment.
No more digging through DMs the morning of a session. The brief, the references, every decision — on the appointment.
- Structured fields for body part, style, size, dates, and prep notes — not a free-text blob.
- Reference images uploaded once, kept beside the brief.
- Project outcome updated after each session so the next one starts informed.
- Exportable per client, in case you need records out of the app.
Offer 4 times
Send a client 4 slots — not your whole calendar.
You pick four times. They pick one. No back-and-forth. Your full schedule stays private.
- Targeted offer per client, expiring on its own if not claimed.
- One-tap claim from the client side — the slot locks, others release.
- Deposit link attached so confirmation happens in the same flow.
- Look-busy mode when you only want a handful of windows offered.
Everything in one place
The pieces of running tattoo bookings, finally connected.
Stop jumping between Instagram, your notes, and a payment link. Everything lives next to the appointment.
Requests become reviewed bookings.
Clients send the brief, references, and preferred timing. You offer up to four holds, fill cancellations by matching timeframes, then confirm manually.
Read-only AI that catches loose ends.
Ask what is missing: a client without a date, a consultation without notes, or a confirmed booking still waiting on deposit.
Stripe deposits stay attached.
Send a deposit link, track payment status, and keep the amount next to the booking. Affichr takes 0% commission on deposits.
Client memory is built in.
Profiles hold consultation forms, private notes, brief and debrief history, tags, and past sessions.
Studio mode gives the shop one operating view.
Run a public studio page, manage four included artist seats, invite staff, control access, and see shared calendars without mixing private client notes.
Flash availability
Post ready-to-book flash. Clients browse, you confirm.
List your flash with a price. Clients see what's bookable before they ask. No back-and-forth about what you have available.
- Visible on your booking page — flash gallery loads right below your profile.
- Marked as taken once the appointment is confirmed, automatically.
- Price shown upfront — less negotiation, clearer expectations.
- Designs stay private — images are on signed URLs, never on a public bucket.
For studios
A real studio system, not a shared calendar.
Invite your artists. See all of them in one calendar. Give clients a booking page that routes to the right person automatically.
- Public studio booking page with banner, hours, theme, and artist order.
- Route by artist, style, or soonest — clients land on the right intake form.
- Roles for owner, manager, and artist — invites, revoke, and activity log.
- Drag, reschedule, cancel across artist columns, then broadcast freed slots to matching clients.
- Artists on their own plan or sponsored by the studio — flexible billing.

Artist booking page
Your booking link, not a generic Linktree.

- Request form with full intake — style, placement, body part, reference uploads, all in one go.

A read-only second pair of eyes on your week.
Tells you what needs attention. Doesn't touch anything. Health questionnaire answers never leave the app.

- Pending deposits still waiting on payment after the offer was sent.
- Calendar conflicts across Google Calendar and Affichr bookings.

FAQ
Frequently asked.
How is Affichr different from a generic scheduling app?
Affichr is tuned for tattoo work, not generic appointments. Requests capture placement, style, references, budget, preferred dates, and client context before any time is held. The artist reviews the brief, asks follow-up questions if needed, then confirms with deposits, reminders, and client history tied to the booking.
What does get in for free include?
Free includes a public booking page, reviewed booking requests, a client list, and email reminders. No card is required. Deposits, SMS or push reminders, AI, and studio workflows are on paid plans.
Does Affichr take a commission on my deposits?
No. Affichr takes 0% commission on your deposit amount. Stripe processing fees still apply to the underlying payment, the same way they would on any other Stripe checkout.
Can I import my clients from Vagaro, Fresha, or Square?
Yes. Affichr includes a calendar import wizard that handles iCal and CSV exports from common tools, with deduplication on import.
Does the AI assistant see health questionnaire answers?
No. Health questionnaire answers are never included in AI context. The AI assistant is read-only and focuses on schedules, deposit status, requests, and client activity, not medical information.
Can studios use Affichr for multiple artists?
Yes. The Studio plan includes 4 artist seats, with extra seats available. Studios get a public studio booking page, artist invites, role-based access, and shared scheduling visibility.
Does Affichr replace Instagram DMs?
Not entirely. DMs can still be part of discovery and conversation. Affichr moves serious bookings, deposits, consultation notes, reminders, and client history into a structured workflow.
Is there an iOS and Android app?
Not yet. Affichr is available on the web today, with native iOS and Android apps planned for the next release phase.
What happens to my data if I cancel?
You can export your data before cancellation. After cancellation, data is removed after a grace period in line with our privacy policy and applicable data protection requirements.
