Upload flash

Flash can be uploaded in bulk or individually. Clients can browse flash and see available sizes and placements. You can choose to make your flash non-repeatable and communicate that to your tattoo clients.

Customizable calendar

Schedule your way! You can propose times to schedule a client or choose to give clients control and choose from your calendar. You can create half day or full day time slots to prevent clients from booking in the middle of the day. We mean it - scheduling that fits how you work.

Text reminders

We send text reminders to your clients 24 hours before their appointment, which cuts down on no-shows. If a client needs to reschedule, you can use our last minute booking link to fill the slot.

Frequently asked questions
What is Venue?

Think of Venue as your personal tattoo booking assistant (without needing to hire one.) We help make booking, scheduling, taking deposits, and having conversations with your clients easy.

How much does Venue cost?

We don't have a monthly subscription. To cover our costs, there's a booking fee your clients pay when they book you. This makes Venue free for artists.

It's free for artists — what's the catch?

There's no catch! The booking fee your clients pay is 10% of deposits and payments. So if you have a $100 deposit, your client is charged $110, which covers Stripe's card processing fees too. As an artist, you can choose to only process deposits with us, only payments with us, or do both (which many artists do!)

Your client is clearly shown a breakdown for how much they're paying as a fee so there's no ambiguity. However, if you prefer to take on deposit booking fee yourself, you can choose to have it deducted from your deposit in the Payment setting under Profile. For payments, the fee can only be "client pays" at the moment.

Who is Venue for?

Venue is for tattoo artists who manage their own booking and want to consolidate all their booking, scheduling, deposits, and client conversations in one place to make booking painless and stress-free.

How do I get paid?

We partner with Stripe to get you paid. When you create a Venue account, you also connect with Stripe so we can pay directly into your bank account. The first deposit payout takes up to 5 business days and the following payouts are within 1-2 business days.
