OpenInk. Software for tattoo studios and the people they work on.

Good tattoos start with a clear brief. OpenInk gives clients an app to plan and refine what they want, and gives studios a workspace that carries every inquiry through briefs, proposals, deposits, and scheduled sessions.

For clients

Arrive with a plan, not a vague idea.

The OpenInk app is where a tattoo gets thought through — styles, references, placement — so the first conversation with a studio starts from something concrete.

  • Design studio — put ideas into images and iterate until the direction is right, with AI-assisted generation available when it helps.
  • Style gallery — curated styles from Traditional Japanese to fine-line, alongside community works for reference.
  • Online consultations — start a consultation on any studio’s public page and arrive with the details already discussed.
  • Guides & trends — editorial content for people planning their next piece.

For studios

OpenInk Studio moves inquiries toward booked work.

A focused workspace for studios and independent artists: review new requests, fill in missing details, prepare proposals, and schedule time — without juggling DMs, spreadsheets, and calendars.

  • Your own public page — portfolio, location, hours, and a consultation link that works around the clock.
  • Structured briefs — every inquiry arrives with subject, placement, size, and references filled in, ready to review.
  • Team workspaces — owners assign work, split projects into work items, and keep every artist’s schedule in view.
