Choose a date and time that works for you.
Most tattoo enquiries start in the DMs — and that is exactly where they become hard to manage. Details arrive in fragments across several conversations, older messages get buried under newer ones, and it is far too easy to lose track of who wants what. A single booking link brings order to all of it.
A booking form does the heavy lifting before a consultation even happens. Asking about placement, approximate size, style, colour and reference material upfront means you can assess an idea and its feasibility before committing studio time, instead of piecing the brief together message by message.
It is worth being honest about what a booking confirms. Bespoke work usually needs artist review, a deposit and a final confirmation, so online booking is best used for consultations first — the page should never suggest that choosing a time automatically approves a full tattoo session.
Your drawing time deserves protection too. Open only the consultation windows you want, add setup and cleanup buffers, and block conventions, guest spots and holidays so nobody can book a day you are away. Your real availability is the only thing clients ever see.
The result is one organised place for enquiries instead of a scattered inbox. One link in your Instagram bio replaces the constant availability chit-chat, requests arrive structured and accepted around the clock, and you get more time to focus on creating strong work.
Each appointment type can have its own description, duration and booking questions — so consultations, touch-ups and flash days are all set up the way your studio really works.
Bespoke work often needs artist review, a deposit and final confirmation outside the initial booking request — a selected time is a request, not automatic approval.
Built for independent tattoo artists and small studios that want structured enquiries, protected drawing time and one place to review every project.

Yes. Add relevant questions to your booking form — placement, approximate size, style, colour and whether they have reference material — so you have useful context before the consultation. Reviewing the idea in advance means you can assess feasibility and prepare properly rather than starting from a blank message.
That depends on your workflow. Many artists use online booking for consultations first, then arrange the final session once they have reviewed the project. Bespoke work often needs artist review, a deposit and confirmation, so the page avoids implying that every selected time is automatically approved for tattooing.
Treat deposits as a policy you explain rather than a promise on this page. Describe your deposit terms in the service description and arrange payment separately, so clients understand what confirms their appointment without assuming a specific built-in feature.
Yes. Each artist can have their own services, working hours and calendar, so a client can request the artist whose style they want and see only that person’s real availability. Everyone keeps a separate schedule, so studio time is never double booked.
Yes. Add one-off closures or adjust availability so clients cannot select dates when you are away at a convention, on a guest spot or taking drawing days. Your protected time simply disappears from the booking page instead of being offered by mistake.
Yes, within the rules you set. When a client releases a consultation slot it updates in the live calendar and can be taken by someone else, so a change of plan does not quietly leave an empty window in your day.
Yes. Put one booking link in your bio to replace the endless back-and-forth of availability questions in DMs. Followers who admire your work can move straight to a structured consultation request, and the enquiries arrive organised instead of buried in your inbox.
Yes. The core system has no monthly fee and includes unlimited bookings, customers and services, so a solo artist or a small studio can manage consultations and appointments without a subscription. Paid extras such as SMS reminders are optional.
Not a trial. Not a limited free plan. Online bookings in Micali are free. Only optional premium add-ons may be paid.
Premium add-ons aren't needed for everyday use of Micali. They're for users who want more customization or features with real costs, such as SMS.
No credit card. No monthly fees. No commitment.
