Totally InkBeta
Tattoo no-show policy

A no-show policy only works if the deposit is already in hand.

Totally Ink puts your deposit amount and cancellation terms on your booking page, takes the deposit before the slot is confirmed, and keeps both on the client’s project. When someone doesn’t show, the policy was already agreed, not argued in a DM.

In artists’ own words

Every artist has the same story

“Our shop gets no-shows constantly. CONSTANTLY.”

Tattoo artist, Reddit

“I’ve had people no show on $900 tattoos.”

Tattoo artist, Reddit

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

What changes

A policy the client agreed to, with the deposit to back it

01

Your terms, on the booking page

Your deposit amount and cancellation policy show on the public booking page before a client submits anything. Nobody can say they didn’t see it.

“It’s less daunting for people rather than messaging.”
Tattoo artist, Reddit
02

Deposit first, then the slot

The session is confirmed only once the deposit is paid. A request that never pays never blocks your calendar.

“Clients only get put into my calendar after they’ve sent me a deposit.”
Tattoo artist, Reddit
03

Nothing to charge after the fact

The deposit is already in your account before the appointment. A no-show is your policy applied, not a card you try to run on someone who has already ghosted.

“It always declines the card when I go to charge for no shows.”
Tattoo artist, Reddit
04

The record is on the project

Deposit, terms and the signed waiver sit on the client’s project with a time stamp. If a no-show turns into a dispute, the record is one click away, not a scroll through DMs.

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

Side by side

A policy in your bio, versus a policy the client agreed to

Your no-show policy is a line in your Instagram bio.

Your deposit and cancellation terms are on the booking page, before the client submits.

The deposit arrives by e-Transfer, sometimes, after you ask twice.

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

Reminders are a text you remember to send the night before.

Confirmation and reminders go out automatically.

A dispute means scrolling months of DMs for what was agreed.

Terms, deposit and signed waiver are on the project, time-stamped.

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