Inkkore's Free plan is not a demo. Your link is live, requests come in sorted, your calendar runs, deposits go straight to you, and you get consent forms signed. Ten requests a month, for good, no card. Plenty of artists can stay there for years — and that's fine.
So the question isn't "what do I unlock". It's: what happens in my week that I no longer do myself. Here's the honest answer, feature by feature.
Monday — your flash sells while you tattoo
On Free, your flash pieces live in your account but not on your public page. Someone visiting can't book one: they have to message you, wait for an answer between two sessions, ask the price, hesitate. Half of them never write.
On Solo, the design is drawn, the price is written, the slot gets picked and the deposit is placed right after. It's the only piece that sells without a single negotiation — and it sells while you're under the machine.
Tuesday — your page keeps the ones who arrive too late
Books closed, someone lands on your link. On Free, they leave, and you'll never know they came by. On Solo, they leave their email, you also get their city — and the day you reopen, you message a group of people who were already waiting for you.
A waiting list isn't a gadget: it's the difference between an empty week and a full one, without chasing anyone one by one.
Wednesday — you stop explaining the same thing three times
Consent forms and waivers stay on Free: that's a studio's legal minimum, it isn't for sale. What Solo adds are the two documents that separate a good artist from one people recommend: preparation, sent a few days before, and aftercare, sent the next day, exactly when the questions start.
You write them once. They go out on their own, at the right moment, in your client's language. You stop answering "can I shower?" at 11pm.
Thursday — healing becomes your best book
Healing follow-up checks in at day 3, 14 and 30. Your client feels looked after; you get photos of healed work — the ones nobody ever shows, and the most convincing ones there are. They feed your public book, right off your link.
Friday — the books close themselves
On Free you see everything coming in: deposits, takings, export. What Solo adds is issuing invoices — a deposit invoice the moment the money lands, a balance at the end of the session, credit notes, continuous numbering. That's not comfort: that's what your accountant will ask for in January.
And your clients pay however they like: bank transfer, PayPal, Pix, Revolut — all shown, not just one.
What doesn't change
Nothing is ever deleted. If you move back to Free, your flash, your follow-ups, your documents and your signed consent forms stay in your account — they're only taken off your public page, and come back exactly as they were the day you reactivate. You don't lose your work, and we never take a commission on what you tattoo, whatever your plan.
That's the only promise that matters: Inkkore saves you time, not a percentage.
