Why StudioBuilder
One place for the whole of your studio.
Most artists run on a patchwork of DMs, spreadsheets, paper forms and a handful of separate apps. StudioBuilder brings the booking side of tattooing into one calm, connected system.
What makes it different.
Everything works together, so a booking, its deposit, its consent form and its reminders all live on the same client record.
Bookings and enquiries
Forms that ask the right questions, a pipeline and a calendar synced with Google.
Deposits and payments
Deposits, pay links and a card on file, paid straight into your own Stripe account.
Consent forms
Digital forms signed on the client's phone and kept with their record.
Texts, WhatsApp and email
Every conversation with a client in one inbox, beside their quote and payments.
Reminders and aftercare
Automatic messages before and after the appointment, in your own words.
Client portal
One link for appointments, designs, payments and forms.
Gift vouchers
A voucher shop with digital vouchers in your branding and a unique code on each.
Bookkeeping and insights
Track money in and out, with reporting on revenue, lead sources and replies.
Inspection records
Steriliser, waste and batch records, ready for your local authority.
AI assistant
Draft replies in your voice and get answers about your own studio.
Built in the studio
Made by a working tattoo artist.
I'm Steven Graham, a black and grey realism tattooist in East Kilbride. I built StudioBuilder for my own bookings first, so every feature has been used on a real working day before anyone else sees it.
That shapes the product. If something does not save time between sessions, it does not go in.

| Taking a deposit | A pay link with the quote, into your own account | A manual request and a bank transfer to chase |
| Consent forms | Signed on the client's phone and stored with their record | Paper in a drawer or a separate forms app |
| Messaging clients | Text, WhatsApp and email in one inbox | Different apps for each channel |
| Reminders | Automatic, in your wording | Remembered when there is time |
| Studio records | Bookkeeping, vouchers and inspection records alongside the diary | A mix of spreadsheets and folders |
