The client replied. The deposit cleared. The session ended.
Requests, payments, notes, photos, and follow-up history stay attached to the work instead of scattered across apps.
Shop manager for tattoo artists & studios
Are your old booking habits still really working?
Affichr is your shop manager in your pocket. Built by a tattooer, it catches the requests, deposits, drawings, reminders, cancellations, and follow-ups that disappear into the noise. You see what happened, what needs attention, and what comes next. You still decide what gets booked.
No card required. Create your account in the Affichr app and start your booking link setup.
Built by a tattooer
Solo artists & studios
4 slot offers
Deposits attached
Cancellation broadcasts
How it works: request → your 4 slots → deposit → reminders → cancellation fill → follow-up.
01
Client sends a complete request
Idea, references, placement, budget, and preferred dates arrive together. No DM ping-pong.
02
You review, then offer 4 times
No time is held until you say so. The client picks from your windows, not your whole schedule.
03
A deposit confirms it
Stripe deposit link with payment status attached. 0% commission on your deposit amount.
04
The rest runs on its own
Reminders go out, cancellations broadcast to matching clients, follow-ups stay visible.
Your attention backup
You are covered.
Affichr keeps the loose ends visible without becoming your boss. It surfaces the situation. You make the call.
Deposit missing. Drawing due. Message getting buried.
Choose SMS, email, or app notifications. Make them gentle or intentionally annoying. Affichr repeats; you decide.
Consultation Thursday. Four times sent. Saturday just opened.
See the next useful move before it becomes another screenshot you forgot existed.
Captured from the product
Real screens. Useful behavior.
These are privacy-safe captures from the Affichr demo account—not invented customer results.
Request control
Review first. Offer four times when the work fits.
The request queue keeps the artist in charge and provides direct paths to the booking link and private slot offers.
Reminder control
SMS, email, and app notifications in one place.
Artists choose the channels and timing. Affichr provides the attention backup without dictating the workflow.
Customer stories and measured outcomes will be added only after the participating tattooers approve the quote, context, and result.
Booking page
Keep the paper agenda. Let the link collect clean requests.
Broadcast
A canceled opening should not die quietly.
Requests
See the idea, refs, placement, budget, and dates first.
Slot options
Offer four times. Clients choose from your windows.
Client notes
Stop making your memory run the shop.
Paper-agenda friendly
The book can stay on the desk. Affichr manages what happens around it.
Old habits built the business. What costs you now is the admin around them: DMs that never turn into a date, no-shows that never paid a deposit, cancellations nobody hears about. Affichr adds the shop-manager layer paper cannot: cleaner requests, four slot offers, deposits, reminders, cancellation broadcasts, and client follow-up.
- Keep what works. Write the final appointment wherever you trust it most.
- Stop relying on memory. Requests, deposits, reminders, and follow-ups stay visible.
- Offer four times. Send targeted options instead of opening your whole schedule.
- Let deposits confirm seriousness. Send a Stripe deposit link and keep payment status attached.
- Fill the empty chair. Broadcast canceled openings to clients whose preferred windows match.

Tattoo booking guides
Plain answers for the booking problems artists search first.
The Affichr blog explains the request-first booking pieces tattoo artists ask about before changing their setup: software features, booking forms, deposits, reminders, and cancellation fills.
Shop management
Tattoo shop management software features artists need
What a tattoo shop system should include before clients get calendar time.
Booking forms
Tattoo booking form questions to ask before holding time
The intake questions that help artists review fit before booking.
Waitlist
Tattoo waitlist and cancellation list: how to fill openings
How shops can match open time to clients already waiting for the right slot.
Tools artists actually use
Not software theater. Shop manager tools.
Clients are rarer. The loose parts get expensive. Affichr gives the shop simple tools for requests, deposits, reminders, cancellations, and follow-up without forcing a new booking ritual.
Requests arrive clean.
Clients send the idea, placement, references, budget, and preferred dates. You review first, then offer up to 4 slots.
Your memory gets backup.
See the loose ends before they cost you: clients to follow up with, deposits still waiting, and consultations that need notes.
Deposits make the booking real.
Send a Stripe deposit link, track payment status, and keep the amount next to the appointment. Affichr takes 0% commission on deposits.
Client memory is not a guessing game.
Profiles hold consultation forms, private notes, brief history, tags, past sessions, and follow-up context.
The whole shop can share the system.
Studio mode adds a public studio page, four included artist seats, staff roles, shared visibility, and cancellation broadcasts across artists.

FAQ
Frequently asked.
How is Affichr different from a generic scheduling app?
Affichr is built by a tattooer as a shop-manager layer around the way artists already book. Requests capture placement, style, references, budget, preferred dates, and client context before any time is held. The artist reviews first, offers up to 4 time slots, then confirms with deposits, reminders, and client memory 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, 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.
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.
Do I have to stop using my paper agenda?
No. Your paper agenda can stay the final word. Affichr handles what happens around it: complete requests, 4 slot offers, deposits, confirmations, reminders, cancellation broadcasts, and follow-up.
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.
