Etchra takes the mess out of booking tattoo clients. Requests, quotes, times, deposits, and a calendar, all in one link the artist owns. We built every piece of it (brand, product, and code): a request form that arrives ready to quote, a quote-and-times flow the artist can send from the chair, deposits that go straight to the artist, and a calendar that thinks in sessions. Flat monthly price, no cut of deposits, no fee on the client.
Tattoo booking runs on DMs, screenshots, and a notes app. Artists lose requests, chase deposits, and hand a percentage to booking tools that treat them like a marketplace. The job was to replace all of that with one link, without taking a cut of the artist's money or putting a fee in front of their clients.
Start where clients already are: Instagram. One link in the bio opens a form that asks exactly what an artist needs to price a piece, in an order clients are happy to answer. Custom and flash are different requests, so the form knows the difference. From there the artist quotes, offers times, and confirms a deposit without leaving the request. Deposits move on the artist's own Zelle, Venmo, or Cash App, so Etchra never touches the money and never holds a payout.
