How to grow your payments app with tattoo artists
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Most tattoo artists take a deposit to book an appointment and design time, then the rest when the tattoo is finished. Taking deposits by bank transfer or message is slow, and no-shows cost artists hours of work.
Ask how bookings work
Talk to a few artists and studio owners and ask:
- How do you take deposits today?
- How often do clients not turn up?
- How do clients pay when the work is finished?
- Do you travel to conventions or guest spots?
Secure the booking with a deposit
A deposit link sent when the appointment is agreed means the slot is held once it is paid. Artists stop losing time to no-shows.
Make paying at the end easy
A payment link or QR code at the studio lets the client pay the balance in seconds, and works just as well at a guest spot or convention.
Grow through studios and social media
Artists share studios and follow each other online. A few who like your app can bring the rest of their studio and their friends in the trade.
