What's included

Everything your studio needs,
built for this industry

Generic software wasn't built for tattoo and piercing shops. TheBooks was.

Digital Consent Forms

Fully digital consent forms sent directly to clients via a secure link. Clients sign before they arrive — no clipboards, no paper.

ID Verification & Scanning

Clients capture their government-issued ID on their phone during the consent process. Images are encrypted and stored securely for your required retention period.

Appointment Scheduling

Calendar management for every artist in your studio. Booking links, deposit collection, automated reminders, and a waitlist for when your books are full.

Supply Lot Tracking

Maintain lot numbers for pigments, needles, cartridges, and equipment. Required in some states — TheBooks handles expiry alerts, renewal prompts, and session records automatically.

Staff & Artist Management

Role-based access for owners, managers, front desk, and artists. Independent artists can tether to multiple studios and carry their own client history with them.

Compliance & Records

Health department record retention, configurable by state requirements. Inspection-mode record review with session-fresh authentication. Audit logs on every consent record.

Sales & Point of Sale

Ring up services and retail products, collect deposits, apply discounts, and run sales reports. Supports cash, card, and artist direct-pay options.

Client Messaging

Integrated consultation inbox for clients and artists. Automated appointment reminders and follow-ups keep your schedule running without manual follow-up.

Built for the industry

Software that actually understands your shop

TheBooks was designed from the ground up for tattoo and piercing studios — not adapted from a generic booking app.

  • State-specific consent and lot-tracking compliance built in, not bolted on
  • ID scanning built into the consent flow — legally compliant age verification
  • Artists carry their own profile, history, and supply library across studios
  • Encrypted record storage with configurable retention to match your health department requirements
  • Walk-in and appointment workflows handled equally — no awkward workarounds
  • Role-based access so front desk staff see exactly what they need, nothing more
