What is a POS sytem?

A POS (Point of Sale) system is a payment terminal that allows businesses to accept (card) payments, similar to the systems you see in most retail stores or cafés. However, Tattoogenda’s POS is specifically designed for tattoo studios. It’s not just a standalone card reader—it’s directly linked to your booking system and runs in your browser, allowing you to process payments, manage appointments, and track sales all in one place.

Intro to Tattoogenda

If you want to streamline payment processing in your tattoo studio you will benefit from using a POS system for tattoo shops to accept payments.

There are many generic POS hardware and front desk applications available on the market, but none of them serves tattoo businesses specifically.

Tattoogenda is a digital calendar for all your tattoo and piercing appointments. It’s a booking software, customers can shedule their own consultation or piercing appointment with you from your website. We have a lot more features included, which we will talk about in this article to. But let’s focus on the POS first.

Tattoogenda's POS

We integrate with Stripe, our POS payment processor. When you have a Tattoogenda subscription you can go to settings and choose to connect your Stripe account.
Once that is done, you can collect deposits from your customer via an automated mail. Those mails contain a payment link that the customer can click, which guides them to the integrated payment page.

Hardware

An other part of Tattoogenda’s POS is the payment terminals (the hardware).
We don’t come with fancy hardware. TG just runs from your browser, all you need is a subscription.
When you integrated with Stripe, you can then order a Stripe terminal from your Connected Stripe Account. That’s the only hardware you would need. Y

ou will need some guidance from our support to do so, we can show you the budget version, and we will need to link your hardware device to your account once you received it.

Transaction fees

There is no monthly fee involved with Stripe, but a one time payment for the terminal, which is at the moment of this writing 199. But prices can change. There are processing fees to be paid, that means for every card transaction that goes through the Stripe terminal or the Stripe deposit payment link you pay a small procent to Stripe and an even smaller procent to Tattoogenda.
At the moment of this writing that is 1,5% for Stripe and 0,2% for Tattoogenda.
No hidden fees here.

When you have your terminal connected to your tattoo shop POS you can start taking payments with debit cards, credit card, ad tips and process all kinds of payments.

Why Use a Tattoo Studio POS System?

Our POS system is a payment terminal directly linked to your booking system, running seamlessly in your browser. This means you can easily accept card payments, track client bookings, and manage your appointments all from one place: no need for separate systems, extra hardware or complex setups.

Vous (et vos artistes) dormirez mieux en sachant que TG perçoit des acomptes pour vos nouvelles réservations.

Collecting deposits

Deposits is a big part of Tattoogenda because collecting deposits at the time of booking can help ensure only serious clients schedule appointments, reducing no-shows. For each booking you make the system starts sending emails to your customers to collect their deposit payments. We can send up to 2 reminders, and even automatically cancel appointments that don’t receive a payment on time.
Mandatory deposits can secure appointments and reduce no-shows in POS systems.

Receipts and more

Tattoogenda makes your tattoo and/or piercing business able to send digital receipts, add multiple tattoo staff, manage appointments, do walk ins, send automated confirmations which reduce no shows, check our built in reporting, use liability waivers (they come with a default but are fully customizable), do artist management, customer management, keep track of your clients history (have they been a no-show with you in the past?).

Even more..

Tattoo shop owners can manage multiple locations, use our online booking software (eg. to let customers book consultations or piercings), use online gift cards, enable all different payment methods eg. credit card, debit card, Klarna, apple pay, google pay, and much more depending on the country you are in.
24/7 online booking allows clients to book directly, syncing calendars to avoid double bookings.

Automated reminders can decrease no-shows by 30% to 80%.
Did you know that 72% of no shows did not pay a deposit? We calculated this over 831 registered noshow appontments.

Collecting deposits at the time of booking is not only reducing no-shows, it also helps ensure only serious clients schedule appointments, elevating the perception of your tattoo shop.

happy customer POS system

It’s easy, but don’t just take our word for it… Try Tattoogenda yourself!

No more double input

You never have to type your total amount on any other desktop checkout device or terminal anymore. Only one source of truth, one time input through TG POS, and the system does the rest.

Reports

The payments are kept in different reports that make your accounting very easy, they also get stored on the client management where your front desk tattoo studio staff can see that customers history at one glance.

Payment methods

Flexible payment methods included in our POS systems allow for credit/debit cards, mobile wallets, and ‘Buy Now, Pay Later’ options. These digital methods are used when customer pay their deposit online from home.

Digital and mobile

Many POS systems for tattoo shops allow for digital and mobile payments, including deposits and tips and so do we.

 

As we mentioned before, Tattoogenda is way more than just a POS sytem for your tattoo shop. It's created by industry professionals, designed to make your tattoo business look more professional, and get bigger commitments from your customers and artists.

We provide different tools, features and services, and if you think anything is missing for your studio, than definatly let us know. We love commumnicating with our customers and artists.

Because Stripe is the POS payment processor, they take care of everything like the normal payments and transactions, but also passing processing fees, credit card fraud (we never had any incident on this matter), hardware delivery for your POS, automated payment reconciliation, and more of these things that a normal tattoo studio business never has to deal with 😉

Automated reporting and reconciliation can minimize confusion and reduce administrative workload in tattoo shops.

Tattoogenda a été créé par nécessité. Nous dirigeons nous-mêmes un studio de tatouage très actif et avons plusieurs franchises. Tout cela est organisé avec l'aide de TG.

Artist commissions

Ofcourse we have artist commissions to.
Per artist in your tattoo shop and/or piercing studio you can define what their share is. Per payment that comes in with TG POS those shares are automatically calculated. Very easy to know who should pay out how much to whom.

A good POS tracks every service, tip, and product sale.

You can set custom commission rates and calculate payouts with a few clicks using a POS system. Automating payroll saves time and avoids manual errors in tattoo shops.


The POS system can automatically deduct the deposit from the customers’ total at the register when it comes time to pay for the remainder of the service. You can choose if Tattoogenda sees the deposit as an artist share when the deposit is paid OR when the deposit is used.

Subscription plans

We have two subscription plans, one is for just 1 artist with the focus on planning and excludes anything to do with payments and POS (for artists who want to keep their financial transactions on paper). The other plan includes all services and features for your shop we talked about: it’s everything you need if you want to save money in your tattoo and piercing business. You can add unlimited artists, payments, clients, transactions, services, staff management, etc

The automated emails gain you client trust. It makes your client base come back for more, it helps reduce no shows drastically, and its just an other service that you are providing your clients that your competitor is not.

Très facile à utiliser, il permet de visualiser rapidement tous les rendez-vous de tous mes artistes, et de voir clairement les artistes invités à venir. J'ai eu besoin d'un peu de temps pour m'adapter au système, en raison de toutes les possibilités qu'il offre.
