Your tattoo booking process can either attract clients or deter them. It’s often the first interaction someone has with your brand, and it conveys a lot about your professionalism, organization, and respect for their time. 


If you still rely on DMs to manage appointments, you’re not alone, but it may be time for a better solution. Here’s why tattoo Artists like Pamela Carvalho are choosing CO:CREATE to streamline bookings and present themselves professionally.

Why DMs Are Failing Tattoo Artists

Instagram may be where your clients find you, but it’s not where they should book you. Messages get buried. Inquiries get missed, and important conversations can disappear without notice.


As Pamela shared, “Instagram hides messages, and people could be reaching out to you, and you just have no idea.”



If you can’t consistently find and respond to booking requests, you lose time, money, and trust.

A Tattoo Booking Process That Works

Your booking system should work for you, not against you. CO:CREATE provides tattoo Artists the ability to:

  • Share available tattoo designs and a complete portfolio.
  • Set clear booking policies.
  • Accept and manage client requests.
  • Take deposits and send scheduling links.
  • Keep everything organized, without monthly subscription fees.

When clients can easily find you, clearly follow your process, and feel confident they’ll receive a response, it builds trust before they even sit in your chair.

Booking Isn’t Just Admin. It’s Your Brand.

Your booking process reflects your brand. It tells clients whether you’re organized, serious, and considerate about their experience. Pamela described it as creating a “positive first impression,” and that matters.



A smooth, user-friendly system instills confidence in clients, making them feel respected and prepared to move forward. It safeguards your time and enhances your reputation as a professional tattoo artist.

Tools Built for Tattoo Artists, Not Generic Creators

Pamela made the switch to CO:CREATE because she needed something designed for tattooing. It’s not a complicated app, and it’s not a paid monthly service. It’s just something that truly works.


CO:CREATE is developed in collaboration with tattoo Artists, so it includes the features you need and none of the ones you don’t. The goal? To make it easier for Artists to connect with clients, organize bookings, and stay in control.
