One place to make the decision

Your inbox should not be your booking system.

Hey! How much for a sleeve?
What style, placement, size, references, budget, and availability?
I’ll send pics later 🙏

The information arrives out of order—if it arrives at all—while strong requests get buried.

Your decision

Ready to review

Every request follows your questions, so you can compare the work and reply with a clear yes, no, or next step.

From link to booked

Three steps. You stay in control.

01

Share one branded link

Clients answer your tattoo-specific questions and attach references from any phone.

02

Choose the work

Review complete requests together, quote the right projects, and pass on the rest cleanly.

03

Let approved clients book

They choose from real availability, handle the deposit, and receive confirmation automatically.

A connected booking flow

No copying details between five different tools.

Collect better requests

Build around placement, dimensions, budget, style, references, scheduling, and the questions unique to your practice.

Protect your attention

Set windows and caps, close your books when you want, and review submissions in a deliberate queue.

Confirm the details

Connect the quote, deposit method, real working hours, appointment, reminders, and client record.

Early-access offer

Use Books Open free during early access.

No card, no marketplace commission, and no promise about a future price. Set up your link and see whether it improves how you run your books.

Questions artists ask before switching

Do clients need an account to send a request?+

No. Your public request form works without a client account. A portal is available later for appointments, forms, and payment history.

Can I take deposits manually?+

Yes. Use Venmo, Zelle, or Cash App instructions and track payment yourself, connect Stripe, or choose no deposit.

Do I have to use Stripe?+

No. Stripe is available for online collection, but manual payment and zero-deposit workflows are supported too.

Will the booking page feel like my studio?+

Add your bio, images, policies, social link, colors, and questions. Clients visit your branded link—not a directory listing.

Can I close my books?+

Yes. Open submissions for a date range or cap, schedule a future window, and close intake when you have enough work to review.

Is Books Open a tattoo marketplace?+

No. Books Open does not put artists into a marketplace or control which work you accept. It gives your existing audience a cleaner path to request and book.

Give every serious tattoo idea one clear way in.

Free during early access. Keep control of your books, your clients, and the work you choose.
