Appointment book, signed consent forms, artist commissions, the end-of-day reckoning. Running a studio on a diary, a spreadsheet and WhatsApp groups only gets you so far.

Five things that actually go wrong in a tattoo studio

If you came here looking for software to fix these, you're on the right page. Every one of them ships ready in Orbitix.

😖

Consent forms disappear into a folder

Paper forms get signed and thrown in a drawer. When something goes wrong you're going through the folder asking "didn't they sign one?" And the age check is left to the artist's judgement.

✅ Digital consent, signed with a fingertip. You send the client a link on WhatsApp and they sign from their phone; the consent lands on their profile. The 18+ check is enforced by the system — under 18, no record is opened. Photo permission is asked separately and shown in the list.

Month-end commission turns into an argument

The artist says "I did this much", the book says something else. Cash and card get mixed up and nobody is sure who took what.

✅ Every job lands in earnings the moment it's done. Set separate commission rates for cash and card. Each completed job is calculated automatically, and the artist sees their own earnings in their own panel. The month-end argument is over.

🔗

All-day DMs and WhatsApp about bookings

You answer "are you free?" one message at a time, and the same artist ends up with two jobs in the same slot.

✅ An online booking link. Clients see the open times, choose the service and the placement, and book. Busy and closed hours can't be selected; clashes are blocked by the system.

📊

The till doesn't balance at closing

Who took how much, what's left in the cash account — all worked out in the evening from memory. A week later there's no answer to "what happened that day?"

✅ One end-of-day screen. The day's cash, card, every artist's earnings and what's left for the studio, at a glance. "Close the day" records the payment. Go back to any date whenever you want.

🏢

The second branch doubled everything

Two books, two cash accounts, two WhatsApp groups. Which branch earned what, and what's the total? Nobody knows.

✅ Multi-branch, one panel. A branch selector on every screen, defaulting to "All branches". Assign an artist to more than one branch, and reports compare them side by side.

What we bring to this industry

Ready out of the box for tattoo studios

A tattoo studio's daily operation ships ready — then runs under your studio's own logo and colour.

📅

Per-artist booking calendar

Every artist in their own column, so nothing clashes. Choose 15, 30 or 60-minute slots — tattoo sessions run long, so the default is 30.

🔗

Online booking link

A link for your Instagram bio. The client picks the service, the placement and the artist, then books an open slot. Busy and closed hours can't be selected.

✍️

Digital consent & signature

18+ declaration, a ten-point health declaration, an alcohol/drugs declaration, deposit and liability clauses, photo permission — signed with a fingertip and filed on the client's profile.

💬

Signature link over WhatsApp

Pick the client and send a single-use link. They read and sign before they even arrive, so no time is lost filling in forms in the chair.

🎨

Self-service artist panel

Each artist gets their own account: their own appointments, their own earnings, their available hours and their booking confirmations. They only see their own data.

Earnings & end-of-day cash

Separate commission for cash and card. The cash account takes payment, and at closing it pays each artist their earnings — who owes whom is on one screen.

🏢

Multi-branch

A branch selector on every screen. Assign an artist to several branches. A branch manager can take commission on the whole branch's revenue.

📦

Stock & product catalogue

Ink, needles, aftercare cream. Low-stock alerts, plus a QR product catalogue you can sell from directly to clients.

📈

Reports

Today, yesterday, this week, this month or a single chosen day. Money into the cash account, artist earnings and revenue left for the studio, each on its own.

The three things people ask about most

We explain the three questions that come up before every purchase exactly as they are — no dressing up.

✍️

How the consent form and signature work

Tattooing carries legal responsibility. The Orbitix consent form is built in five parts to cover the industry's standard clauses, and the record isn't completed until it's signed.

  • 1 · Personal details — client, form type (tattoo / touch-up / general), placement, emergency contact.
  • 2 · Health declaration (10 items) — allergies, blood disorders, blood-borne infections, skin and immune conditions, epilepsy, pregnancy, diabetes, antibiotics in the last 10 days, blood thinners or steroids, regular medication. Anything ticked is surfaced to the artist as a risk.
  • 3 · Declarations (6 items, all required) — 18+ and acting freely, not under the influence of alcohol or drugs, agreement to follow aftercare, approval of the design, placement and size, the deposit being non-refundable, and legal responsibility. If one is missing, the record is blocked.
  • 4 · Permissionsphoto and video sharing permission. We deliberately left this optional: under KVKK (Turkish data protection law) permission that is forced is not valid. The permission status has its own column in the consent list, so you can check before you post.
  • 5 · Signature — with a fingertip or a mouse. The moment of signing is timestamped.
  • The flow: pick the client → a single-use link goes out on WhatsApp → they read, tick and sign on their phone → the consent lands on the profile and the link dies. It also expires after 48 hours.

How money moves: the cash account collects, then pays the artist

In most tattoo studios money runs through one place: the client pays the studio, and the artist is paid out of the cash account. Orbitix is set up for that model — no money circulates in the artist's pocket, and an artist never shows up as being in debt.

  • Each artist gets their own commission percentage for cash and for card transactions.
  • When a job is completed (cash or card selected), the amount is booked as a collection to the cash account and as earnings to the artist.
  • The end-of-day screen shows the day's cash, card, every artist's earnings, what's left for the studio (revenue − earnings) and, on each line, "the studio pays X".
  • Close the day → the payment is recorded as a cash-account expense and as artist earnings. You can adjust the amount by hand for a partial payment.
  • Branch manager (an operational role) → takes commission on the whole revenue of the branch they run, even on days they have no appointments of their own. A fixed salary can be defined as well; salary works independently of commission and does not clear the earnings balance.

The artist panel: what they see, and what they don't

You open a login for each artist. They sign in from their phone and manage only their own work. This isn't a preference — it's a rule enforced behind the scenes.

  • They see: their own appointments (list and monthly calendar), their own earnings by period (this week / this month / last month), their own available hours and their own notifications.
  • They can: add an appointment for themselves from the calendar, confirm a pending request, close a job and record the amount and payment method, block and unblock their hours, and close their day entirely.
  • Branch occupancy: a "Just me ↔ Branch" switch on the calendar. In branch view a colleague's appointment is read-only — time, duration, artist, service, client name. No buttons.
  • They cannot see: another artist's amounts, commission or client phone numbers; another branch's appointments; the studio's cash account, reports or client list.
How you use it

Running the studio panel, step by step

From the day you open the doors, every job from booking to payment happens in one panel.

1

Create the appointment

Find the client by typing their name in the wizard (a new one is created automatically), then pick the service, the placement and the artist. Enter the price you agreed — in tattooing the price depends on the piece, and the system doesn't dictate it. The appointment drops onto the calendar and the artist is notified.

2

Send the consent

Send the client the signature link on WhatsApp. They read and sign before they arrive, and the signed consent is filed on their profile. If they didn't get to it, they can still sign on a tablet in the studio.

3

Complete the job

The client came, the piece is done: hit "finish / take payment" and choose cash or card. The amount goes to the cash account and the commission to the artist's earnings, automatically.

4

Close the day

On the end-of-day screen you see each artist's earnings and pay them with "close the day". What's left for the studio is on the same screen, and Reports lets you close a day with a single "Today" chip.

Plans start at 2,500 TRY per month, and setup, data migration and training are included. There is no contract — you can cancel at any time. See the plans →

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does tattoo studio software actually do?

Orbitix is a tattoo CRM built for tattoo studios. It brings together a per-artist booking calendar, an online booking link, digital consent forms signed with a fingertip, artist earnings and commission, end-of-day cash, stock, a product catalogue, reports and multi-branch management in one panel. Work that today is scattered across a diary, a spreadsheet and WhatsApp groups ends up in a single place.

How does the digital consent form work?

The form is built in five parts: personal details, a ten-point health declaration, six mandatory declarations (18+, not under the influence of alcohol or drugs, aftercare, approval of design and placement, the deposit being non-refundable, legal responsibility), permissions, and the signature. You send the client a single-use link over WhatsApp; they read it, tick the boxes and sign with a fingertip on their phone. The signed consent is filed on their profile, the link dies, and it expires after 48 hours in any case.

Is the 18+ check enforced by the system?

Yes. The age declaration is one of the mandatory items and cannot be skipped. If the client is under 18, no record is opened — it isn't left to the artist's judgement in the moment. All six mandatory declarations must be complete, otherwise the record is blocked.

What happens with photo and video permission?

It's asked separately and it is deliberately optional, because under KVKK (Turkish data protection law) permission that is forced is not valid. Whether a client gave permission appears as its own column in the consent list, so you can check before you post their piece.

Can I set different commission rates for cash and card?

Yes. Each artist gets their own percentage for cash transactions and for card transactions. Because card payments carry processing fees and a different tax burden, many studios keep the card rate lower. The calculation looks at the payment method on each job. If you'd rather use one rate, put the same value in both.

How does money move — does the artist hold the cash?

No. Orbitix is set up for the model most studios use: the client pays the studio, and the artist is paid out of the cash account. When a job is completed the amount is booked as a collection to the cash account and as earnings to the artist. At closing the screen shows the day's cash, card, every artist's earnings and what's left for the studio, and each line says what the studio pays. So an artist never shows up as being in debt.

Can artists see each other's work and earnings?

They see each other's schedule, not each other's money. On the calendar there's a "Just me ↔ Branch" switch; in branch view a colleague's appointment appears read-only — time, duration, artist, service and client name, with no buttons. Amounts, commissions and client phone numbers belonging to other artists are not visible, and neither are the studio's cash account, reports or client list.

Can a branch manager earn commission on the whole branch?

Yes. A branch manager is an operational role: they take commission on the entire revenue of the branch they run, even on days when they have no appointments of their own. You can also define a fixed salary for them. Salary works independently of commission and does not clear the earnings balance — the two stay on separate lines.

Does it track ink and needle stock?

Yes. Ink, needles, aftercare cream and anything else you carry sit in the stock list with a low-stock alert. There's also a QR product catalogue, so you can sell aftercare products to clients directly from the studio.

How does it work with WhatsApp — do I need another app?

No. Clients write to your existing WhatsApp number or send a voice note. The Intent Router — the AI that reads what the message means — records it as a lead or a booking request in the CRM. Nobody downloads anything, and your team keeps the WhatsApp flow they already know.
