Book a tattoo without DMs

Your bio link should take the booking, not start a conversation.

Totally Ink gives you a booking page that collects the idea, the placement, the size, the references and the deposit in one go. Clients book from the link in your bio, and you open a complete request instead of a thread that starts with “hey, are you taking clients?”

In artists’ own words

The DM thread is the job nobody gets paid for

It’s a lot to go back and forth with.

Our shop gets no-shows constantly. CONSTANTLY.

Until I get the deposit, the client doesn’t exist in my brain.

What changes

Booking that starts complete

01

One form instead of twenty messages

The inquiry form asks for everything up front: what, where on the body, how big, reference photos. You reply to a complete request, once.

It’s less daunting for people rather than messaging.

02

The link in your bio does the booking

Put your booking link in your Instagram bio. Clients pick a time or send a request there, and the DM inbox goes back to being a DM inbox.

It’s really impossible for people to waste your time with fake inquiries.

03

Clients never need your number

Messages, reference uploads, design approval and the deposit all happen through the client’s own portal link. Nothing to install, no phone number handed out.

I never give out my personal phone number.

04

Everything about the piece in one place

References, deposit, design rounds, waiver and every session live on one project, not across three threads and an email.

All the info for each client/tattoo is in one place.

Side by side

Booking by DM, versus booking from your link

“Hey, are you taking clients?” and the twenty messages after it.

One request form with the idea, placement, size and references.

References buried in a thread you scroll for later.

References attached to the project, next to the deposit and the design.

You pencil them in and wait for the e-Transfer.

The deposit is paid on the booking page. The slot is confirmed when it clears.

Clients text your personal phone.

Clients message through their portal link. Your number stays yours.

Plans and what each one includes are on the pricing page.

Built with artists, not around them
