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.

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.
Requests
See the idea, refs, placement, budget, and dates first.
Slot options
Offer four times. Clients choose from your windows.
Broadcast
Offer a canceled opening to eligible clients whose timing matches.
Where the real work happens
Your hands are busy. The shop keeps moving.
Requests arrive. Deposits wait. Drawings are due. Affichr keeps those loose ends visible around the session—without pretending software does the tattoo.
In the chair / off the calendar
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.

- Studio activity and controlsTrack changes, reschedule, cancel, and broadcast openings across artists.
Assistant & attention
Read-only operational help that surfaces the loose ends. You make every decision.
- Read-only daily briefReview today, urgent requests, deposit follow-ups, and what needs attention next.
- Find clients without a recent appointmentSurface clients who have not booked in the last three months for manual follow-up.
- Pending-work scanAsk about unreviewed requests, outstanding deposits, or the next useful move.
- Draft follow-up messagesPrepare a message for review. The assistant never sends or changes bookings.
Stripe, Google Calendar, SMS, email, push, and AI features depend on plan, setup, authorization, and provider availability. The assistant cannot book, cancel, modify, or send anything; health answers and consultation or client notes stay outside its context.

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.
