Two flows clients & artists

Onboarding & Profile Setup

🚀 Import your Instagram portfolio automatically — no manual uploads needed.

Set up your profile with styles, rates, bio, and upload your best work. Our AI auto-tags your style categories from your portfolio. Define your base hourly rate, deposit percentage, and cancellation policy. Connect your Google/Apple Calendar and set your working hours.

Flash gallery setup — upload ready-to-book designs with pricing. Add Q&A templates for common questions. You're live in under 15 minutes.

From Instagram DMs to a professional booking platform faster than setting up a Square account.

Discovery & Visibility

👀 Your profile appears in the swipe feed where clients discover artists by location + style.

Traveling? Set guest artist dates and location — get automatic promotion in that city. Your profile shows a "Guest Artist" badge to create urgency.

Last-minute cancellation? We push you to the top of the feed for that time slot. Earn verification badges (portfolio quality, booking reliability). Get featured in style-specific searches and Pinterest ads.

We put your work in front of clients actively looking to book in your area — not random scrollers on Instagram.

Enquiry Management

📬 Unified inbox consolidates Instagram DMs, emails, and platform messages in one place.

Smart intake forms capture client details upfront. AI triage prioritizes serious enquiries vs tire-kickers. Auto-acknowledgment responses keep clients warm while you're busy.

Stop losing enquiries in the DM chaos. Never miss a serious client again.

Consultation & Quoting

💰 Style matching during intake — clients see if their idea fits your work before wasting your time.

Budget range filters eliminate mismatches early. AI pricing assistant for ballpark estimates. Structured revision request system and quote templates for consistency.

Only talk to clients who understand your style and can afford your rates.

Calendar & Scheduling

📅 Two-way Google/Apple calendar sync — block time in at.ink, it appears in your phone. Block time on your phone, at.ink knows you're busy.

Self-service booking from your available slots. Buffer time automatically added between sessions. Double-booking prevention across all calendars. Set booking cutoff windows (e.g., no same-day bookings).

Plan guest spots in multiple cities. Manage waitlists — when a slot opens, auto-notify waitlisted clients. Block recurring time for admin work.

Stop playing calendar Tetris via DMs at 11pm. Let clients book from your real availability.

Deposits & Payments

💳 Integrated Stripe processing — booking locks in only after deposit paid. No deposit? No confirmed booking.

Automated payment reminders for outstanding balances. Final payment collected at checkout. Multiple methods: card, Klarna, Afterpay, Affirm — turning "I need to save up" into "book now, pay later".

You get paid directly — funds hit your Stripe account, we don't hold money. No more chasing clients for deposits via Venmo or dealing with "I'll pay you when I get there" flakes.

Get paid upfront. Zero no-shows. Spend your time tattooing, not doing accounting at midnight.

Design Work Management

🎨 Milestone payments for larger projects. Set revision limits upfront.

Watermarked previews until final payment. Version control for design iterations. Private design vault for client access.
