How to run a multi-artist tattoo studio without losing your evenings

A studio with several artists shouldn't be run at 11 PM from a WhatsApp group with a spreadsheet open on the other screen.

You know the scene. A request lands in the studio's Insta DMs. Who's it for? You forward it to the WhatsApp group. Nobody answers for two hours. The client goes looking elsewhere. And at the end of the month, you pull the spreadsheet back out to figure out who owes what to whom, hoping everyone actually logged their sessions. When there are several of you, the real hidden work isn't the tattooing: it's the coordination. And it's what eats your evenings.

Every request goes straight to the right artist

With a studio link, the client picks their artist (or their style) right when they send their request. The request lands directly in the right person's pipeline. No more manual sorting, no more "so who's this one for?" in the group.

Everything runs through Inkkore's own chat: you share your link in your Instagram bio, a WhatsApp status or your email signature, and the conversation moves into Inkkore from there. Everyone sees their own thread, while you keep the big picture. The message stops getting lost between three apps and four people.

Splits calculate themselves

This is where the spreadsheet retires. You set the revenue-share rule between the studio and each artist once, and the math runs automatically on every session. No more Sunday-night arithmetic, no more "wait, what cut did you take on that backpiece?"

And the core Inkkore principle stays intact: 0% commission on tattoos. The deposit goes straight to the artist involved (PayPal, Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, bank transfer, Revolut…). Inkkore never gets between you and your money: the split is your internal agreement, not an outside cut.

A calendar everyone actually sees

A shared calendar per artist, with an iCal feed to see your Inkkore sessions in your personal calendar. Everyone blocks their availability and manages their guests and days off. You see at a glance who's working when, without chasing three people. Here's what you get, concretely:

A well-run studio isn't everyone doing everything. It's everyone clearly seeing what concerns them.

Leave the patchwork behind, without the over-engineered mess

Inkkore brings the multi-artist studio, the splits, the shared calendar, and client conversations together in a single tool. One link in the bio, a booking page in 11 languages, a 4-minute setup, and 2FA that protects the whole thing — because when there are several of you, account security isn't a detail. The point isn't to add one more piece of software, it's to remove the spreadsheet, the catch-all WhatsApp group, and the end-of-month calculations. So that running your studio goes back to being what it should be: tattooing, and heading home in the evening with a clear mind.
