Why our pricing works this way
For the last decade, most industries have adjusted prices to match rising costs. The tattoo industry largely hasn’t - while rent, salaries, software, and daily operations have all become more expensive.

At the same time, running a studio has never been harder.

That’s why InkLink is free for studios and artists: no monthly subscription, no lock-in, no hidden platform cost on your side. Instead, a 5% platform fee is added to the customer’s booking total.

This model protects studio margins, keeps artists independent, and puts pricing power back where it belongs - in the hands of the studio.

And if a studio wants to absorb that fee as part of its own pricing strategy, it can.

Questions and Answers

What does it cost to use InkLink?

InkLink is completely free for tattoo shops and artists. We only charge a 5% platform fee added on top of the customer’s total - so you always keep 100% of your earnings.

My customers dont want to pay the 5%?

No worries - we’re already working on a subscription model that will allow studios and artists to cover the platform fee themselves if preferred.Until then, we recommend simply adjusting your listed prices or offering a small 5% discount when you choose to absorb the fee. This way, you stay in full control of when - and when not - to cover it.
