Consult first, deposit when it is booked
A good piece starts with a conversation, not a payment. Soopaspace lets a client request a consultation from your page, so you talk the design and the time through first, then take a deposit by card when the session itself is booked in.
Free to start with your booking page, bookings and clients. Everything else is one paid plan: £9.99/month billed yearly, or £12.99 monthly.

The chat before the needle
Offer a consultation as something clients can ask for from your page, with the reference and the idea they have in mind. You reply, work out the design, the size and the time it needs, and nobody has paid for a session that was never going to fit.
- Clients request a consultation from your page
- They send the idea and any reference
- You work out size, time and design first
- No deposit until the piece is agreed
A deposit that protects the chair
Once the design is settled, the session is booked and a deposit by card secures the day, so a long slot is not held for a client who drifts off. The deposit comes off the price of the piece, and a reminder goes out before the appointment with a link to move it inside your notice.
- A deposit by card when the session is booked
- The deposit comes off the price of the piece
- A long slot held for real, not on a promise
- A reminder before the day, with a reschedule link

Common questions
- Can clients book a free consultation before paying anything?
- Yes. A consultation is something clients request from your page, with their idea and any reference. You talk the piece through first, and a deposit is only taken when the session itself is booked.
- When is the deposit for the tattoo taken?
- When the session is booked, after the design is agreed. The deposit is taken by card to hold the slot and comes off the price of the piece, with the balance settled on the day.
