Inbox full of 'how much for…'
Half the messages want a quote from a photo. Answering them all is a second job, and the real bookings get buried.
For tattoo studios
Consults and sessions booked. Quotes still yours.
Cast-A-Booking books consultations and sessions for your studio by chat — at 1 AM when people decide, and in English or Spanish. Clients pick their artist and a time, leave a deposit that holds the chair, and get a reminder the day before if they turn on notifications. Custom work stays "price on request": the assistant never invents a quote, it books the consult.

Sound familiar?
The DMs never stop, and most of them aren't bookings.
Held chairs that never showed
A half-day session with no deposit is four hours you turned other clients away for.
Each artist keeps their own book
Three artists, three calendars, three ways to get double-booked on a Saturday.
How it works
Set up once. Book consults and sessions any hour.
Add your artists and session types
Consultation, small piece, half-day, full-day — with duration and price, or "price on request" for custom work.
Put the link in your bio and the QR at the desk
The dashboard builds the Instagram post and the print files with your QR.
Clients book, deposits hold the chair
The assistant books the consult or the session with the right artist and takes the deposit you set.
Built for you
Built for artists, not receptionists.
Artist choice
Clients book with the artist whose work they came for. Each artist has their own days, hours and session types.
Consultations first
Custom work is "price on request" — the assistant books the consult and never quotes a number you didn't set.
Deposits that hold the chair
A fixed deposit or a percentage at booking, into your own Stripe account, with no platform fee.
Your policy on the payment page
Your deposit and cancellation policy is shown before the client pays and recorded with each charge.
Reminders
Clients who opt in get a reminder the day before; you get tomorrow's sessions every evening.
English and Spanish
The assistant answers in the client's language on every plan.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
Can I keep quoting custom work myself?
Yes. Set custom pieces as "price on request". The assistant books a consultation, shares your phone number for questions, and never invents a price.
Can I require a non-refundable deposit?
You set the deposit amount and your cancellation policy; the policy is shown on the payment page and recorded with the charge. Refunds are always your call, from your own Stripe account.
Can clients book a multi-hour session?
Yes. A half-day session reserves the whole block for that artist, and nothing else gets booked into it.
Do clients need an app?
No. They book in the browser from your link or QR, on any phone.
