You didn’t apprentice for four years to chase DMs.
The admin around tattooing is broken: bookings live in message threads, deposits arrive by screenshot, and cancelled chairs sit empty. InkSpred takes all of it off your plate.
Booking by DM
Enquiries scattered across Instagram, WhatsApp and email. Half get buried. The serious ones drown under a hundred “how much for a sleeve?” messages.
Chasing deposits
Bank-transfer screenshots, “I’ll send it Friday”, awkward follow-ups. Taking a deposit should take thirty seconds, not three days of chasing.
No-shows
Every empty chair is £300–£600 you never see again. Paid deposits and automatic reminders stop most no-shows before they happen.
Dead cancelled slots
A cancellation two days out almost always stays empty. Your waitlist would fight for that chair — if anyone actually told them it was free.
Great tattoos cost real money. Paying shouldn’t hurt.
A £900 sleeve is a serious commitment. InkSpred gives every client three honest ways to meet it — and the artist gets paid properly, every time.
Pay today
The classic way
Card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Secure the booking with a deposit now and settle the balance on the day of your session.

£900 sleeve
£75 × 12 months
Cancel any time — the balance you’ve built is yours
Pay in 3 is provided by Klarna, the lender — Klarna’s Pay in 3 instalments credit agreements are not regulated by the FCA. Missed payments may affect your ability to obtain credit. 18+, UK residents only, subject to status. InkSpred Plans are prepayments toward your tattoo — not credit, and never a debt.
A cancelled slot should never stay empty.
When a client cancels, InkSpred quietly messages your waitlist the moment the chair opens up. The first person to pay the deposit takes the slot — often within the hour. No stories posted, no group chats, no begging.
- Clients join the waitlist for the artists they follow — one tap.
- A deposit holds the slot instantly, so “I’ll take it!” actually means something.
- Artists on Pro recover an average day of chair time every month.

Asked before every first tattoo.
No. An InkSpred Plan is a scheduled prepayment — think of it as a modern layaway. You pay toward the tattoo before the session, so there’s no credit agreement, no interest, no credit check and no mark on your credit file. If you choose Klarna instead, that is credit — provided and regulated entirely by Klarna, never by InkSpred.
