Changelog
WHAT'S new.
The changes you'll notice in Tattoo Studio Pro, a week at a time. Weeks with only behind-the-scenes work are left out.
November 2026
- Client messaging is open to every studio. Start a conversation from a client's profile, the queue, or an appointment. In the app, photos show in the thread. Web and mobile
- Booking confirmation texts are shorter and easier to read on a phone. The deposit link only shows up when you take deposits, and then the text says the appointment is reserved until the deposit is paid. Confirmations you wrote yourself don't change. Web app

- Owners can confirm their team from the home page. Web and mobile
- Studios on an older plan can add team logins and use Switch User. Mobile app
- Scroll back through every past web app update on the What's New page. Web app

- Give an artist a cash rate and a card rate, set commission on the products you choose (jewelry, say), and pick the artist on a product sale at checkout. Web and mobile
