Tattoo Booking Software That Fills Every Slot
Sound familiar?
Without Calday
- Client booked a 3-hour custom piece. Texted at 9:47am to cancel. Chair gone for the day.
- You asked for a deposit over Instagram. Awkward silence. They ghosted.
- Peak hours Saturday. A ghost. That slot was your most valuable of the week.
- Your cancellation policy exists. You've never enforced it.
- New client asked about your deposit. You explained it across four DMs.
With Calday
- Deposit required at booking. Artists using deposits report ghosts dropping 40–60%.
- Deposit collected online as part of the booking flow. No DM. No awkwardness.
- Slot opens. Waitlist notified automatically. Chair filled before you even check your phone.
- Policy shown and agreed at booking. Enforces itself.
- Booking page shows your deposit, policy, and services. Client reads everything before they confirm.
Deposit at Booking. Not in a DM.
The deposit is part of your booking flow. Clients see your cancellation policy before they confirm. They agree. They pay. The slot is locked. The Venmo request, the follow-up DM, the conversation you've been dreading - none of it happens. Because it never needs to.
- Deposit required before the slot is confirmed — card charged online
- Cancellation policy shown and agreed before booking
- Set different deposit amounts per service — flash vs. full-day custom piece
Every Client's History. One Place.
Intake notes, reference images, skin notes, consent form responses, and payment history - saved from the first booking. When a client returns, you know every service they've had and everything they agreed to.
- Custom intake questions collected at booking — skin type, reference images, aftercare notes
- Consent form responses saved to each client's record
- Full booking history per client — every visit, every service
Reminders That Cut Ghost Rates
Calday sends a confirmation when the deposit is paid and a reminder 24 hours before the session. Clients who've paid a deposit and been reminded don't ghost.
- Booking confirmation sent automatically when deposit is paid
- Reminder sent 24 hours before the session
- Fewer ghosts on your most valuable Saturday slots

How it works?
Questions from Tattoo Artists
