Help me build the tool you never had

I'm Jordan, an IT pro who went solo. Looking for a useful project, I saw solo tattoo and piercing artists drown in admin instead of doing art. So I'm coding Inkally for you: Made in France, honest with no fluff, covering all your trade needs in one tool. Before launch, I'm looking for 30 of you to shape it.

In plain words, what does it do?

Everything you do by hand today, in one single tool

If you don't know what a "CRM" is, no worries: it's a tool that remembers everything about your clients, appointments, inks, and paperwork. You stop juggling Insta, Excel, paper, and three apps.

A client book that remembers everything

Name, contact, birthday, session history, healed photos, allergies. No more lost paperwork, no more "when was their last appointment again?".

A calendar that has your back

Appointments, walk-ins, SMS + email reminders sent automatically, synced with your personal Google Calendar. Cuts no-shows without you lifting a finger.

Your paperwork, signed with a fingertip

Liability releases, image rights, health questionnaire, quotes: the client signs on your tablet or via a link. All encrypted-archived, legally binding (eIDAS).

Your inks and batches, traceable instantly

Ink batches scanned by barcode, health authority declaration ready in 1 click. No more dusty notebook under the counter.

A tool that follows you everywhere

PC at the studio for management, smartphone on the go (scan, photo, quick walk-in), tablet in full-screen mode you hand to the client to sign or book. Same account, same data, everywhere.

A public showcase that works for you

Your public page at inkally.app/your-name with your portfolio, flash designs, booking button. Google-indexed. No more WordPress site to pay for or Linktree to patch together.

Inkally never stands between you and your client

Your deposits go to you, not to me

Plug in your own Stripe Connect in 5 minutes: appointment deposits land directly in your bank account. Inkally takes 0% commission on your earnings. If you can't or don't want Stripe, we'll find an alternative together — but the base idea won't move: your money stays your money.

  • Direct Stripe Connect: your account, your payouts, your control.
  • Zero Inkally commission on deposits or sales.
  • No centralized wallet: your money never transits my servers.

Design Partner

You accept a 20-min phone call + ad hoc feedback once a quarter. In exchange, you become a co-architect of the tool.

  • 6 months free of Solo plan (€180 saved)
  • 50% off for life after — €15/month instead of €30
  • Your logo or studio name on the public Roadmap page
  • Exclusive access to new features 1-2 weeks before everyone else

For this first cohort: Design Partners must reside in France. The tool ships FR-compliant first (ARS, REACH, TVA franchise 293B, factur-X 2027) — we want a strong signal from the market that pays for the build. Italy is the next country we'll attack: if you operate there, keep an eye out — we'll open a cohort over there next.

5 spots awarded by selection among FR respondents who accept the call. I pick the profiles that match best (mix of solo/team, tattoo/piercing, micro vs SASU) for varied signal. Lifetime price valid as long as you use Inkally regularly (≥ 1 client / 6 months). If Inkally pivots or closes, equivalent value refunded.

Why Inkally

Everything a FR/EU tattoo artist or piercer needs, in a single tool.

Built in France 🇫🇷

Solo French founder. Trade vocabulary respected (flash, cover-up, downsize, ARS, REACH). Not a US tool poorly translated.

ARS-ready, REACH included

Signed consents, encrypted health forms, ink + needle batch traceability per session. One-click PDF export on inspection day.

All-in-one

Bookings, quotes, invoices, consents, photos, hygiene, inventory, finances. No more scattered Excel + Calendly + DM + Stripe.

Signed consents in 30 seconds

Legally-vetted templates for tattoo, piercing, cover-up, minor, image rights. Timestamped electronic signature with IP captured. Archived 10 years (cron auto-purge after retention).

Online deposits, 0% commission

Stripe Connect activated in 5 min. Clients pay the deposit by card (native SCA 3DS2). You receive 100% in your bank account (T+2). Zero Inkally commission, ever.

Interactive tablet day mode

Fullscreen for the booth: drag&drop timeline to shift appointments, local weather, next client briefing (tags + allergies), in-session timer, mobile ink-batch scanner. Tablet PIN to block walk-in snooping.

And also, because we thought of everything:

  • Multi-session quotes (sleeves, back, cover-up) with timeline breakdown + deposit per session
  • Auto client segmentation: VIP / regular / new / dormant + computed LTV
  • SMS reminders via Brevo (appointment, touch-ups day 45) with RGPD-compliant client opt-in
  • Real-time walk-in queue with ETA + auto conversion to completed appointment + invoice
  • FR-compliant invoice numbering (art. 286 I 3° CGI) + auto 293 B mention
  • Self-growing portfolio: auto email day 28 requests the healed photo via magic link
  • 6 languages out of the box (FR, EN, ES, DE, IT, PT-BR) for international guests
  • Monthly URSSAF + annual 2042-C-PRO reminders with pre-computed CA HT

Frequently asked

Is it really free?

Yes. No card asked. You fill the form, you get the demo. The bonus (3 or 6 months free) applies the day Inkally launches commercially. If I pivot or close: equivalent value refunded.

Where does my data live?

Hosted in Germany (EU) on Supabase. Photos on Cloudflare R2 (EU). Encrypted health forms (pgcrypto, separate key). No resale. Export or delete all your data at any time via privacy@inkally.app.

Anything to sign?

Nothing to sign. For Design Partner status, we confirm via email what we each commit to. No paper contract, no exclusivity clause, no NDA. You can stop any time.
