What tattoo studios need
Clients book a sleeve and forget to send the inspiration. Avana lets you build a custom intake form per service with photo upload — clients attach their references and design notes when they book, you arrive prepared.
Allergies, medications, skin conditions, previous tattoos. A custom intake form per service collects this before the session, so consent and health checks are done before the client walks in.
A 4-hour back-piece no-show is half a day of revenue plus prep time. Set a 30-50% deposit per service. Clients prepay, you keep the deposit on no-show. Standard on Pro and Team plans.

What you get for your tattoo studio
Custom intake forms, photo references, deposit-protected sessions and per-artist calendars for resident artists and guest spots.
Per service you build the intake form: design brief, placement, size, colour or black-and-grey, allergies, medications. Photo upload included so clients attach their references at booking.
Set a 30-50% deposit per service. Clients pay at booking, you keep the deposit on no-show. Deducted from the final bill at checkout.
Each artist has their own calendar with their own services, hours and buffer times. Add a guest artist for a 2-week residency without changing the bill — Pro covers up to 3 artists at £39/month.
Note healing photos, future ideas, allergies, what was done last session. Returning clients get continuity — their existing work informs the next session without re-asking everything.
Add custom pre-session text per service: what to eat, what to wear, when to arrive. After the session, send aftercare instructions automatically.
Most tattoo bookings start on Instagram. Drop your Avana link in your bio — clients book direct, no DM ping-pong, no 'sorry just got booked'.
