Owner perspective

Artists, clients, and sessions in one calendar.

Schedl uses tattoo studio language, not generic scheduling labels. Owners can add a phone booking, review a request, approve it, and let reminders do the follow-up.

Required deposits on every booking
Custom tattoos take hours of design work. Require a non-refundable deposit at booking so you're paid for prep, not just the session.
Long-session scheduling
2, 4, and 6-hour slots are first-class. Break up a full-day sleeve across multiple sessions without calendar chaos.
Per-artist booking pages
Each artist gets their own page with portfolio, styles, and availability. Clients book the artist they want, not a random slot.
Reference upload at booking
Clients can attach inspiration photos and a brief when they book. The appointment detail has it ready on your iPad.
What the client experiences

A client sees the business, not the software.

The portal carries the service menu, team context, appointment state, reminders, and manage link in one branded experience.

Workflow in context

Turn service work into a polished booking journey.

Competitive angle

Your new-client revenue stays yours.

Schedl is subscription software. It does not take a marketplace commission from the clients you earned through your own reputation, Instagram, Google listing, or referrals.

Owner opens a real slot

Tap the calendar, choose the service, enter the client, and pick reminder channels.

Client requests a time

They choose service, professional, and time from a branded portal that feels like the business.

Owner approves

Pending requests stay visible until approved, so the calendar only becomes concrete when the owner says yes.

Confirmation + portal link

Client receives a friendly message with a secure manage link for rescheduling, canceling, or staying in touch.

FAQ

Questions from tattoo studio owners.

Can I require a non-refundable deposit?+

Yes. Deposits are configurable per service — most studios set a flat amount ($100–$200) that counts toward the session total.

Can I block off days for conventions or guest spots?+

Yes. Time-off can be set on any artist's schedule without affecting the rest of the studio.

How do I handle multi-session pieces?+

Book each session as its own appointment. Clients can see all their upcoming sessions on a single confirmation page.

Can clients upload reference images?+

Yes. The booking form supports custom fields including image uploads. References attach to the appointment automatically.

Schedl helps shape the booking workflow and client communication. It does not replace your legal cancellation policy, payment provider terms, or regulated-industry compliance requirements.
