Tattoo Studio Pro vs. DaySmart Body Art: A Straight-Up Comparison

DaySmart Body Art is tattoo and body art software. Tattoo Studio Pro is too. This page uses DaySmart’s packages page as checked on November 8, 2026. The pricing URL redirected there. Each feature below is on or off because the column uses is-style-icon-enabled or is-style-icon-disabled. A disabled row is not an included feature.

The packages page still links a Capterra badge to an Inkbook reviews URL. This article does not price the older Inkbook desktop product.

A shorter page is the DaySmart Body Art alternative for tattoo shops.

What Tattoo Studio Pro’s help documents

Solo is $29/month or $239/year for 1 team member. Every feature is on every plan, so consent forms are not a higher tier. Yearly billing costs less than paying monthly. Other team sizes are on the pricing page.

A signed form is stored on the client and in the Forms Archive. Managers and the Health Official role can open the archive. Parent or guardian fields appear on the in-studio form when the client is under 18. The public online check-in link cannot capture that consent. A photo ID step appears only when ID First is turned on. Extra languages appear only when you add them in the form editor.

Appointment messages are a confirmation text and up to 5 reminder texts. That is not the same row as DaySmart’s two-way texting, and help does not state a monthly text cap or a per-text price.

Commission records what is owed. It does not run payroll. One rate, a cash rate and a card rate, or a sliding scale. The commission article covers who can see the numbers.

Help does not document a QuickBooks connection or a loyalty points program. DaySmart’s columns do, on the tiers above.

FAQ

Does DaySmart Basic include consent forms?

No. Digital forms are off on the $29 Basic column. They are on from Deluxe at $69. Tattoo Studio Pro includes them on Solo at $29/month.

How long is the DaySmart trial?

14 days, and the page says no credit card. An older line on this article said 30 days. That is not what the packages page says now. Tattoo Studio Pro’s trial is 30 days, asks for a payment method, and does not charge you until it ends.

Where does DaySmart two-way texting start?

Deluxe Growth, $149/month. Basic has 500 texts a month and two-way off. Deluxe has 1,000 texts and two-way off. Tattoo Studio Pro’s help describes a confirmation text and up to 5 reminder texts on every plan. It does not describe a two-way texting inbox as a marketing product.

Is QuickBooks on every DaySmart plan?

No. The check is on for Premium and Premium Growth. Deluxe and Deluxe Growth show it off and label it “Available Add-On Service.” The tooltip does not show a price. Tattoo Studio Pro’s help does not document a QuickBooks connection.

Is the DaySmart website included?

Not on these columns. Website Builder is off on every plan, with the tooltip “Available to add on.” No dollar amount is on that row. Tattoo Studio Pro includes the website with the subscription.

What does a larger Tattoo Studio Pro team cost?

Solo is $29/month or $239/year. Yearly billing costs less than paying monthly. The rest of the prices are on the pricing page.

Consent details are in the consent compliance checklist. The switch page has a DaySmart section.
