01
Scan or add manually
Use the scanner on a supported mobile device to draft visible label details, or enter the supply and lot without a camera.
Ink · needles · appointments
Tattoo ink and needle lot tracking, kept with each session.
Scan a label on a supported mobile device or add a lot manually. Verify the package, attach the supplies to the tattoo appointment, then finalize a readable session record for recalls, follow-up, or an inspection request.

From package label to session record.
The artist stays in control of every field. Affichr organizes the trail around the appointment instead of treating a scan as proof.
02
Verify the package
Review and edit every field against the physical label. Automated reading is a draft, not a decision.
03
Attach it to the appointment
Select the ink, needle, or cartridge used during the tattoo session and keep it with that appointment.
04
Finalize the session record
After the tattoo, lock in a readable record for studio follow-up, a recall search, or a requested review.
Why keep each lot with the tattoo?
A loose label can tell you what was opened. A session record can tell you where it was used and what needs attention next.
Find affected sessions
Search the recorded lot and identify the sessions connected to it when a recall or supplier notice arrives.
Keep the story together
Ink, needles, appointment context, and the final record stay in one workflow instead of across photos and paper notes.
Prepare a readable record
Finalize the reviewed details so the studio can answer a follow-up or inspection request without rebuilding the trail.

A recordkeeping tool, not legal certification.
Affichr helps organize reviewed session records. It does not decide which law applies, certify compliance, or replace instructions from a health authority.
- Confirm required fields and retention periods for your establishment.
- Check every scanned value against the package before using it.
- Share records only when appropriate and through the studio’s approved process.
Practical questions
Can I add a lot without scanning it?
Yes. Manual entry is part of the workflow, so a damaged barcode or unsupported label does not block the record.
Can one session include several ink and needle lots?
Yes. A session can include multiple ink colors and multiple needle or cartridge entries, each reviewed before finalization.
Does Affichr submit records to an inspector?
No. Affichr prepares the studio record. Any disclosure remains a studio decision and should follow the authority’s request.
Keep the supply trail with the work.
Start with the appointment, record what was actually used, and finalize the session only after the package details have been checked.
