Tattoo appointment reminder software
Appointment reminders,tied to real bookings.
Automatic reminder emails, reconfirmation requests, and deposit follow-ups for the bookings you accepted. Fewer forgotten appointments, without another app to check.
Reminders, connected to the booking
A reminder is only useful
if it knows the booking.
Generic reminder software does not know what you approved, what deposit is open, or which city the appointment is in. Inklee sends reminders from the booking itself, so the date, placement, deposit, and location context is already there.
Built for custom tattoo work: request first, artist approval second, appointment and reminders after that.
Why manual reminding fails
You should not be
your own reminder app.
Reminding clients by DM works until the week gets busy, and the busy weeks are exactly when no-shows hurt most.
Reminding clients by hand does not scale
Scrolling back through DMs to remind every client before their session is exactly the kind of admin that gets skipped on busy weeks.
Forgotten appointments cost real money
A client who genuinely forgot is still an empty chair, lost preparation time, and a slot someone else wanted.
Chasing deposits feels awkward
Following up on an unpaid deposit by DM mixes money talk into a casual chat thread, and it is easy to forget who still owes what.
You find out about cancellations too late
Without a reconfirmation step, plans that changed weeks ago only surface on the day of the appointment.
Travel makes timing harder
Guest spots and short booking windows leave no room for a no-show. A reminder a few days ahead matters even more on the road.
How Inklee reminders work
Accept the booking.
The reminders take over.
Three reminder types run automatically for accepted bookings. Each one can be switched on or off, and you decide how many days ahead they go out.
Appointment reminders
Clients get a reminder email a set number of days before the appointment, with the date, placement, and studio or location details.
Reconfirmation requests
Ahead of the appointment, clients can be asked to confirm they are still coming. The email carries a secure link, so a client whose plans changed can cancel early and you can offer the slot to someone else.
Deposit follow-ups
When a deposit is past its due date, the client gets a clear follow-up with the amount, the due date, and your payment note, and you get a copy, so nobody has to chase by DM.
You control the schedule
Each reminder type has its own on and off switch, and you choose how many days before the appointment reminders and reconfirmations go out.
Tied to accepted bookings
Reminders only ever go to bookings you approved. Nothing is sent for requests you passed on or have not reviewed yet.
Tattoo context included
What every reminder
already knows.
The booking, not a generic blast
Every reminder carries the context of the specific booking: date, placement, and the studio or city where the appointment happens.
Deposit status included
Deposit follow-ups state the amount, currency, due date, and your own payment note, so the client knows exactly what is open.
Editable booking emails
The booking-status emails (request received, accepted, passed, cancelled) are fully editable, subject and body, in your voice. Reminder emails you switch on and schedule.
No client account needed
Clients confirm or cancel through a secure link in the email. They never need to create an account or install anything.
What changes
Fewer no-shows.
No promises, just fewer.
Fewer forgotten appointments
A reminder a few days ahead catches the honest forgetters. Reminders cannot guarantee attendance, but they remove the most avoidable no-shows.
Cancellations surface earlier
When a client cancels through the reconfirmation link, you hear about it days ahead instead of at the door, with time to fill the slot.
Deposit chasing stops being personal
A neutral follow-up email does the awkward part. You only step in when something actually needs a conversation.
One less thing to remember
The reminders run nightly on their own. Your part is accepting the right requests and showing up to tattoo.
FAQ
Tattoo appointment reminders, answered.
01Do appointment reminders stop no-shows?
They reduce the avoidable ones. Clients who genuinely forgot, mixed up dates, or needed a nudge to cancel early are exactly who reminders catch. No tool can guarantee every client shows up.
02When are the reminders sent?
You choose how many days before the appointment the reminder and the reconfirmation request go out. Inklee sends them automatically once a day.
03Can I turn individual reminder types on or off?
Yes. Appointment reminders, reconfirmation requests, and deposit follow-ups each have their own switch, so you only send what fits your workflow.
04Can clients confirm or cancel from the reminder?
The reconfirmation email contains a secure personal link. If the client's plans changed, they can cancel there, and you can offer the slot to someone on your waitlist.
05Are SMS text reminders supported?
No. Inklee reminders are email only today. Every reminder goes to the email address the client used on their booking request.
06Can I edit what the emails say?
The booking-status emails (request received, accepted, passed, cancelled by you) are fully editable in your own words. The three reminder types are not free-text: you control whether they send and how many days ahead.
07Do reminders work together with deposits?
Yes. If a deposit is past due, the client gets a follow-up with the amount and your payment note, and you get a copy, so deposit chasing does not depend on you remembering.
08Do my clients need an Inklee account?
No. Clients only receive emails and use secure links. Accounts are for artists.
