Frequently asked questions

How it works

What exactly is MindTattoo?

It's the digital ecosystem for tattoo studios: scheduling, deposit collection, client briefs, accounting and marketing automation. Designed so you don't fight with the tool and so it respects how you already work with your clients.

Do I have to stop using Instagram and WhatsApp?

No. MindTattoo does NOT put chats in the platform. Clients reach you with a structured brief (style, placement, references). You contact them wherever you like.

How long does it take to get started?

Less than 10 minutes. Sign-up + 4 onboarding steps (studio name, tax ID, IBAN, contract). Ready to receive your first brief.

Do I need to install anything?

No. It's 100% web, works in any browser. A native mobile app for iOS and Android is on the way.

Deposits and legality

Is it legal for you to collect deposits on my behalf?

Yes. We act as your commercial agent (a model accepted under art. 3 PSD2), collect on your behalf and settle to you via SEPA. You sign an agency contract when you sign up.

What happens with cancellations?

Default policy: >72h before, full refund. 24-72h, 50/50. <24h or no-show, deposit to the artist. Configurable to your liking from Setup.

Do I need a Stripe account or a card terminal?

No. We handle the online payment (card and Bizum) and settle to your IBAN via SEPA. You only need your bank account: no card terminal of your own or Stripe account.

Do you charge commission on the whole tattoo?

No, only on the collected deposit (between 0.5% and 2.5% depending on the plan). You manage the total tattoo price yourself as before, outside the platform.

Who issues the invoice to the client?

You do. We are only the intermediary for collecting the deposit. You issue the invoice to your client from MindTattoo with your tax details.

Plans and pricing

Is there a trial period?

Yes: 14 days on any plan, no card. After 14 days your account switches to Free automatically.

Can I upgrade at any time?

Yes, without losing data. If you upgrade we prorate the rest of the month. If you downgrade, the change applies from the next cycle.

Does the Free plan expire?

No. It's free forever, up to 50 bookings/month. It has an area in your dashboard with affiliate recommendations (it does not show ads to your clients).

Integrations

Can I connect my current accountant?

Yes. Invoices and expenses export to PDF/Excel, and there's sync with Google Drive for your accountant. Tax forms 303/130/390 generated automatically.

Does it sync with Google Calendar?

Yes, two-way sync. Any change in MindTattoo appears in your Google Calendar and vice versa.

Do you have an API?

Yes, REST with the /api/v1/ prefix. Available on Pro and above. Documentation at developers.mindtattoo.app (under construction).

Privacy and data

Who sees my client data?

Only you and the studio members you invite. As a provider we only access it for express technical support requested by you.

Where is the data stored?

Servers in the European Union (France). We comply with GDPR. Encryption in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest for sensitive data.

What happens if I cancel?

You have 30 days to export everything. After 30 days we delete your data except what the law requires us to keep (invoicing, tax).
