Clients find you on Instagram, watch you on TikTok and check your website before they book. If each place has a different way to book, you answer "how do I book?" five times. Put one booking link in all of them. It asks your intake questions, so you don't have to.
The same link in Maya Rivera's Instagram, TikTok and website.
One client, one week
One client, three stops, one link
Amara K. finds you on Instagram on Monday, on TikTok on Wednesday and on your website on Friday. Your link is in all three places, so she never has to ask for it.
01Instagram · Mon 11:40pm
They save your flash sheet, tap your bio and open your booking page. They're not ready yet, so they close it.

Your stencil video comes up. They tap your bio and get the same booking page, the same flash and the same deposit as Monday.

They search your name. The Book button on your website opens the same page. They fill in your intake form, upload two references and mark the placement.

01 · Booking by DM
Why a link beats a DM for booking
Booking by DM means you ask for placement, size, references, dates and budget one message at a time, between clients. A booking link asks for all of it at once.
Placement
Size
References
Dates
Budget
Your custom intake form takes reference uploads and 2D/3D placement, so every request arrives complete. With approval-first booking, nothing goes on your calendar until you approve it, and the deposit request only goes out after that.
Clients will still text you. When they text your booking line, your Assistant turns the message into a structured request and drafts a reply with your link in it. You read it, edit it and send it.

02 · Shops with a roster
Personalized booking pages per artist
A single shop link makes the client pick an artist from a list. A personalized booking page takes them straight to you. Every artist on the roster keeps their own account, clients and flash, and gets their own page.
Your page shows your flash, your intake questions and your brand colors. Requests go to your calendar. Google Calendar 2-way sync keeps your personal calendar and your shop calendar in step.
The owner sees every artist on the team calendar. Clients only see the artist they followed.

QR codes in the shop and on the feed
Maya Rivera · Booking pagecrew.ink/mayarivera
A QR code is your booking link for a phone camera. It opens the same page with the same deposit. Use it anywhere a client can't tap your bio.
Front desk
Walk-ins who want to come back scan it instead of taking a card. Clients booking on the spot use the kiosk, locked with a staff PIN.
Flash sheet
Pin it to the corner of your sheet for a flash sale. Clients scan it, claim a design and pay the deposit.
Convention booth
Convention mode runs the booth from your phone: a line with numbers, flash claims, card payments and signed waivers. People who want to book later scan the code as they walk past.
The feed
Put it on the last slide of a carousel, in a story or on a printed aftercare card. It still scans from a screenshot.
04 · Rebrands
The link that survives a rebrand
Shops change names and logos. Artists move studios. If your booking link belongs to the shop, every change breaks it, and every old card and bio sends clients to a dead page.
Your link belongs to you.
Change your brand colors and your page updates with them.
Connect a custom domain if you want the link to carry your shop's name.
Move to another studio and your account, clients and flash stay yours, because every artist keeps their own account.
Switching from another booking tool? Migration brings your clients, bookings and history with you. Bring your crew over in one afternoon.

What it costs
The link costs $0. Free is $0 a month, for good. Plus is $39 a month. Pro is $99 a month. Every plan has every feature, including personalized booking pages, Google Calendar sync and card processing.
Free · $0 a month9.9% booking fee
Plus · $39 a month4.5% booking fee
Pro · $99 a month3.5% booking fee
Minimum per payment$2.50
TipsNo fee, 100% to you
There is one booking fee on every card payment for the tattoo: deposits, balances, full payments and walk-ins. It covers card processing, so there is no separate processing fee and nothing comes off your price. The client pays it by default. You can split it 50/50 or pay it yourself. With the $2.50 minimum, a $20 deposit on Free carries a $2.50 fee instead of $1.98.
