Venue

Tattoo booking platform for artists and studios

Visit Venue

Venue is a booking platform for tattoo artists that brings booking forms, scheduling, deposits, payments, flash sales, and client conversations into one place. It is designed to reduce the back-and-forth of managing requests, appointments, and payments across separate tools and messaging channels.

Core capabilities include customizable booking forms and shareable booking links, appointment scheduling with a customizable calendar, flash uploads and sales, events for flash days and conventions, deposits and full payment collection, in-app client chat, and automated text reminders. Payments are processed through Stripe, with card, Apple Pay, Affirm, and Klarna options. The platform is available on iOS, Android, web, and desktop.

Venue is aimed at independent tattoo artists and studios. The Solo and Studio plans are free, with a booking fee charged to clients by default when deposits or payments are processed by card; artists can choose to pay this fee themselves or split it with clients. Paid Solo Pro and Studio Pro subscriptions reduce the card processing fee and add features such as payment terminals, auto-split, resident or guest artist allowances, and monthly reporting. Studio accounts include a free first month for artists on the studio account.
