"How much?"
Answered before they ask.
Clients pick the size or the hours, the placement and the extras, and see a range from your prices. Every estimate says the final price is set at the consultation. Try it below, the way your clients would.
Size · placement · a price range
The client picks the size.
Square inches for small pieces, hours for medium and large ones. Your minimum and your hourly rate do the math.
They add placement and extras.
Color, a hard spot like ribs or hands, a cover-up, custom design time, travel if you are mobile, an aftercare kit.
You get the idea, the size and the range.
Ready for a consultation, where you set the final price and send the deposit.
What the client typed
Fine line fern on my inner forearm, about 3 x 3 inches, black and gray. Saturdays work best.

Estimate your price
Your estimate
Interactive example with sample rates. Your estimate uses your prices, and the final price is always set at the consultation.
From consultation to balance
Consultation, deposit, session, balance.
Without a single screenshot.
The client books the consultation, you set the price and send the deposit invoice, they pay by card and the session is on the calendar with reminders. After the session, the balance goes out the same way, with the deposit taken off.
Consultation · deposit · session · balance
You set the final price.
In person or on video. The client already saw a range, so the talk is about the design.
The deposit holds the date.
An invoice from your phone, paid by card. It goes toward the tattoo.
Reminded, tattooed, paid.
Reminders before the day. The balance invoice after the session. A review request the next day.

Tattoo artist marketing
Someone searches "tattoo artist near me".
Your studio comes up.
Clients who search Google already want a tattoo. A page for every style and town, a review request after every session and a complete profile are what put a private studio in the map results.
Found · chosen · reviewed
Someone nearby searches. You are in the three.
A page for every style and town is how Google matches you to "fine line tattoo Austin".
They pick the artist with healed work and a price.
Your site shows the gallery, a range and an open consultation. Others say "DM for pricing".
After the session, the review request goes out.
A short text with your Google link, once the client has had time to enjoy the piece.
What Google checks

Runs while you work
One job, start to finish.
Nobody in the office.
InkPilot follows every job for you: the quote, the crew, the reminders and the review. You only hear about it when something needs you.
- 9:41 pmAutomatic
A customer asks for a price
The website or the AI receptionist quotes from your prices and takes the request. It lands in your inbox with the quote attached.
- Next morningAutomatic
The job goes to the right person on your crew
You assign it and they get a text or email with the address and the time. One tap to accept; you are told when they do.
- 3 hours laterAutomatic
Nobody accepted? You hear about it before the customer does
They get a reminder first. If the job is still open, you get a text so you can move it to someone else. No job slips through.
- Day beforeAutomatic
The customer is reminded
A reminder the day before and another an hour before, so nobody is surprised at the door and fewer visits are wasted.
- Day afterAutomatic
The review request goes out
Once the job is done, the customer gets your Google review link. More reviews, without you remembering to ask.
Every message can be edited or turned off, and texts to your crew only go out inside the hours you set.
Everything included
The whole office,
already set up for you.
Other software hands you an empty account. InkPilot arrives built: your site, your prices, your messages and your receptionist are working the day you say yes.

Compared with the usual apps
Booking apps fill in a calendar.
InkPilot brings the client to it.
Most booking apps start once the client already decided to book. InkPilot starts before that: the portfolio site, the ballpark price and the receptionist that answer the "how much?" and get the consultation on the calendar, with deposits and reminders behind them.
| Typical booking apps | InkPilot | |
|---|---|---|
| Your own portfolio website | A booking page, or a template you fill in yourself | Built for you first, free to see, on your own .com |
| "How much?" at midnight | Waits for you to reply | A range from your size, hourly and placement prices, instantly |
| Calls, texts and WhatsApp | Voicemail and an unread inbox | AI receptionist quotes the ballpark and books the consultation |
| Deposits | Varies by app and plan | Deposit and balance invoices, paid by card |
| Google reviews | Usually not included | A review request after every session |
| Set-up | You enter everything yourself | Your name and city; the rest is built in minutes |
| Price | A monthly fee, often per artist or with booking fees | $35 to $89 a month, domain included, cancel anytime |
General comparison as of October 2026 with common booking apps; check each one’s own site for current features and prices.

Before you begin
Good questions.
Straight answers.
What is the best software for an independent tattoo artist?
The one that keeps you tattooing instead of answering messages: a site that shows your healed work and gives a ballpark price, something that answers DMs and calls at midnight, booking with reminders and deposits paid by card. InkPilot puts those in one place, set up for you.
Does the estimate replace the consultation?
No. Clients see a ballpark range from your size, hourly and placement prices, and every estimate says the final price is set at the consultation. It filters out the people who were never going to book.
How do deposits work?
You send the deposit as an invoice from your phone and the client pays it by card. You set the amount and your policy, for example a deposit that goes toward the tattoo.
Does it handle consent forms or gift cards?
No. InkPilot does not do consent forms, e-signatures, ID checks or gift cards. Keep using the release form and ID check your state and county require.
Do I really get the site for free?
Yes. We build it first and you only pay if you decide to keep it. No card is needed to see it.
Is the domain included? Is there a contract?
Every plan includes a .com in your studio name, renewals included. No contract: monthly plans cancel anytime from your dashboard.
Does it work in Spanish and Portuguese?
Yes. Your site, the estimate and the AI receptionist speak English, Spanish and Portuguese.
I already use Jobber or another app. Do I have to switch?
No. Keep it for the jobs you already have. InkPilot is the part that brings the next customer: your website, the instant price and the receptionist. It also has its own calendar and invoices if you would rather have everything in one place.
Who sets it up, and who do I call if I get stuck?
We do. Your site, your prices and your messages are ready when you first open it; you change what you want from your phone. Real people answer at support@fuly.io in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
Your free site starts with your studio name
