Free tattoo booking software that actually fits how you work
Most schedulers charge monthly before your first booking. Here is what tattoo-native booking software should cover, and why free-for-artist models exist.
Why generic schedulers miss the mark
Acuity, Square, and Vagaro are built for salons and multi-staff shops. Tattoo artists need flash inventory with per-piece booking, deposit-first checkout, multi-session sleeves, inquiry approval flows, and aftercare automation. Paying $16 to $50/month before your first booking hurts when you are independent.
What free should mean
Studio Haven is $0/month forever for artists. No setup fee. No platform cut from your deposit. The platform earns a small ~$2 service fee paid by the client at checkout, so we only get paid when you do.
- Stripe Connect deposits straight to your bank
- Two-way Google Calendar sync
- Flash sheets with sub-piece quantities
- Lifetime client CRM and tax-ready finance
- Automated aftercare emails
