Included in your plan
Six tools that save you time and money — at no extra cost.
Client demandClients who already tried the design
Clients try designs on their skin in AR at 1:1 scale, then send their request with the preview straight to your studio.
All in one placeBookings, calendar & deposits
Approve bookings with number of sessions and duration, connect Google Calendar so busy times are blocked, and take deposits in the app.
Visibility & SEORank higher on search engines
You get your own studio profile on our .com domain with plenty of internal links and backlinks. That can help you rank higher on search engines like Google and be found by more people searching for a tattoo artist in your city. We can't promise a specific position — the search engines decide — but an active profile gives you more ways in.
Hear it instantlySMS notifications
New request? You get an SMS straight away. Choose email, SMS or both, and send a test SMS to be sure it works. You'll never miss a client — even when the panel is closed.
Save time & moneyFortnox integration — bookkeeping done for you
The Fortnox integration is included — the Fortnox subscription itself you buy from Fortnox. Connect your own Fortnox with one tap: deposits, tattoo payments and design sales are posted automatically to the accounts you choose, and InkSimulator's fee is recorded as a cost.
Worth 999 kr/yearPosture Pro included
Under Swedish law and the Swedish Work Environment Authority you must work proactively with the health environment at your workplace. InkSimulator helps you do it: Posture Pro is included in your plan and you sign in with the same credentials as the studio panel. Measure your posture with the camera on an iPad or computer, get exercise suggestions and a warning when your posture has been harmful for a longer time.
