IMPORTANT
Make sure to check what subscription plan you have.
Each subscription plan has a certain amount of seats available for artists.
Go to ‘Artists’
Click on ‘ + Artist’
You will see the following pop up
Enter the artists email
What if you don’t know your artists mail address? #
Sometimes you don’t know your guest artists email yet, or your artist doesn’t have a mail address.
In that case, just enter whatever dummy address you like. Eg. ‘whatever@whatever.com’.
You can still change the email address later.
Why do we ask for an email address? #
Some artists travel the world, and work in different studio’s.
If you would add an artist that already has a Tattoogenda account, TG would invite this existing artist to join your studio, after you hit ‘save’.
Now this artist will see the bookings you make for him, from inside his own account.
So a travelling guest artists can manage all his guest spots and bookings from inside one account.
If there is no account linked to the mail address you entered, then you will be automatically creating a new one.

Financial & Planning tab #
We have now completed step one called ‘Who’
Please note that ‘Financial & Planning’ is available starting from the ‘Bigger studio’ plan.
If you have ‘Single artist’ or ‘Small studio’ plan, this tab will be called just ‘Planning’.
These options under subtitle ‘Salary Details’ will not be available for you if you do not have ‘Bigger Studio’ or higher.
If you do not own this plan you can skip salary details.
Fill out the salary details of your artist
Hourly rate , Daily rate: filling out these rates can help your receptionist or artist to remind them of this artist price information
( e.g. €65 / h – € 450 / day) when booking in. An artist can have both an hourly rate and a daily rate. Or just 1.
Artist share how much % does your artist earn? The percent your studio pays to the artist.
Default advance this will be prefilled in the ‘required deposit’ when a project for this artist is made
( e.g. €150 )
Extra pricing info this can be anything
( e.g. €25 extra / h – for coverups )
Adding holidays #
If you’d like to add holidays for your resident artist you can do this here.
If you marked your artist as resident artist, you will see this option. If you marked your artist as a guest artist, you won’t see this option, as guestartists don’t have holidays, they have guest spot periods.
Adding guest spot periods #
If you’d like to add guest spot periods for your guest artist you can do this here if your artist is a guest.
If you marked your artist as guest artist, you will see this option. If you marked your artist as a resident artist, you won’t see this option, as residents don’t have guest spot periods, they have holidays.
Artist Genres #
Step 3 holds all the styles / genres that your artist has no trouble performing.
The genres of the artist will be used in some of our WordPress plugins. If you don’t have a WordPress site, you shouldn’t be bothered with filling in these genres.
Check which genres are applying to your artist
This is optional, genres are used to display on the calendar, to filter an artist by genre or for our WordPress plugins
After checking the genres that apply to your artist click on ‘Send invite’.
Your artist will receive a mail that they have been invited to your Tattoogenda account as an artist
You will see a notification saying that you have ‘Successfully added an artist’.
You can already start taking bookings for this artist. No need to wait until they accept your invitation.
Going back to the calendar you can see the artist genres in the artist list
You can see genres here
Hover over the genres text to see a information box with the genres
You still have a problem or a question?
You can find a little link below called ‘Still stuck? How can we help!’
