The paper folder problem
Paper consent forms work until you need one. A client books a forearm piece in March and comes back for a touch-up in October. The March form is in a folder, in a drawer, filed by whatever month you remembered to file it. The copy of their ID is in a different folder, stapled to the back, or nowhere.
The wording on your form is fine. The problem is that paper sits outside the booking, the deposit, the reminders and the client's history. Every signed sheet is one more thing to file by hand after the client leaves.
In the folder
- Signed on a clipboard at the front
- ID photocopied, filed somewhere else
- Found by digging through the drawer
- One paper copy, nowhere else
On the client record
- Signed on a phone at the station
- Photo ID saved to the same record
- Opened from the appointment
- Kept in Paperwork with your licences
Digital waivers in booking and kiosk
In 
the waiver is part of the booking. The client books, pays the deposit and gets reminders 2 days, 2 hours and 30 minutes before. When they sit down, the consent form is already tied to that appointment.
Clients sign in one of three places, depending on where you work that day.
At the station
Hand the client your phone. They read it and sign it, and you get back to the stencil.
At the kiosk
Set up the kiosk at the front desk, locked with a staff PIN. Walk-ins sign there before they get to you.
At the booth
Convention mode runs the booth from your phone: a numbered line, flash claims, card payments and signed waivers.
Your custom intake form lives in the same booking, with reference uploads and 2D/3D placement.
The client signs at your station. It's filed before the stencil goes on.
Photo ID attached to the appointment
A signed form only helps if the person at your station is the person who signed it. captures the client's photo ID when they sign and saves it to the client record with the consent form.
You don't photocopy anything or keep a second folder. Open the appointment and you see the signed consent and the ID.
You write your consent wording and decide which ID you accept. keeps the signed copy and the ID together, every time.
Where the signed copy lives
Each signed waiver is saved in two places. The first is the client record, next to their bookings, history and reference uploads, so next time they book you can see what they signed. The second is Paperwork, where your documents, waivers, licences, BBP certificates and taxes are kept together.
Paperwork
In a studio, every artist on the roster keeps their own account, clients and flash. Switching from another system? Migration brings over your clients, bookings and history.
What it costs
Every plan has every feature and card processing included, so digital waivers, photo ID, the kiosk and Paperwork come with Free too. Signing a waiver costs nothing.
9.9% of $20 is $1.98, so the $2.50 minimum applies.
The booking fee applies to card payments for the tattoo: deposits, balances, full payments and walk-ins. It covers card processing, so nothing comes off your price. The client pays it by default; you can split it 50/50 or pay it yourself. Tips carry no fee and go 100% to you. Card payments go straight to your bank, deposited daily, next business day.
