Can I take a tattoo deposit online?

Yes. A deposit can be taken by card when a client books a sitting, or on a quote for a custom piece. Card payments go to your own Stripe account.

Can different pieces have different deposits?

Yes. Each service has its own deposit, and each quote has its own deposit, so you set the amount for each.

Is the client saved when I send a quote?

Yes. Someone new is added to your client list when you save the quote, and the quote shows on their client page.

Is there a waiting list for when my books are closed?

Not as a waiting list for one-to-one sittings yet. Today your page can take enquiries only, so clients send their idea and you quote when you have space, and on fully booked days clients can request a time.

Do I find out when a deposit is paid?

Yes. You get an email as soon as a client pays by card, saying who paid, how much and what is left.

Consultations, deposits, sessions and flash, on one page

A tattoo usually starts long before the needle: a conversation, a drawing, a deposit to hold the date. Here is how each of those runs in Soopaspace, shown on Marrow & Moth Tattoo, an example business.

1Consultations

Start with a consultation, and ask what you need to know

A free consultation is a service like any other, priced at £0 and booked from the same page as everything else. Each service can ask its own questions when someone books, so the placement, the size and the idea are waiting before you sit down together.

2Deposits and quotes

A deposit to hold the date, and quotes for custom work

A session can take a deposit by card when it is booked, with the balance shown as due on the day. For a bigger custom piece, send a quote with your own line items: the client accepts it online and pays the deposit or the full amount by card.

3Every client

Every piece, kept with the client

Each client has private notes that only you see, next to the answers they gave when booking and every session they have had. The stencil size, the line weight and where you got to last time are on one page when they come back for the next sitting.
