Square Appointments for tattoo artists
Square is strong for retail POS, but tattoo booking needs flash inventory, approval workflows, and session-based project history.
Square vs tattoo-native booking
Square Appointments fits salons and spas. Tattoo artists need per-flash deposits, custom inquiry quotes, healed portfolio galleries, and tax-ready ledgers across GST, HST, and VAT, without paying monthly before you book anyone.
