Consent forms and aftercare texts for tattoo studios

B2BWebweekendNext.jsSupabaseTwilio

The idea

Tattoo consent forms are liability documents and, in many jurisdictions, health-department requirements with multi-year retention rules - and studios keep them in a cardboard box under the counter. When a claim or an inspection arrives three years later, nobody can find the form. Meanwhile artists repeat the same aftercare speech ten times a week and clients forget it by the car.

Studio software mostly means booking apps; intake is an afterthought or a generic form builder with no ID capture and no retention story. The wedge is one tight loop: tablet intake with age check, ID photo, and signature locked into a searchable PDF archive, then an aftercare SMS sequence that reduces healing problems and quietly harvests Google reviews on day 30.

Who pays

The buyer is the studio owner, at 29 USD/month per studio - an easy yes for anyone who has ever dug through the box for a form. The day-30 review ask gives it positive ROI on marketing alone. Distribution: tattoo industry Facebook groups and conventions, piercing/tattoo supply distributors, and word of mouth between artists, who move studios constantly.

MVP scope

  • Tablet intake: health questions, 18+ check, ID photo, canvas signature
  • Locked PDF per intake in private storage, searchable by client, date, artist
  • Editable form and consent templates per studio
  • Day-1/7/30 aftercare SMS sequence with reply inbox and review ask
  • Skip for v1: appointment booking, deposits and payments, piercing-specific flows, multi-location chains

Build InkIntake, a web app for tattoo studios covering consent intake and
aftercare follow-up. Stack: Next.js (App Router), Supabase for Postgres,
auth, and private file storage, Twilio for SMS. Magic-link auth for the
studio; clients never log in.

Intake flow: the studio hands the client a tablet (or texts them a link).
The form collects contact details, date of birth with an 18+ hard check,
health questions (allergies, skin conditions, blood thinners, pregnancy,
recent alcohol), the consent text itself, a photo of government ID captured
via the device camera, and a finger-drawn signature on a canvas element.
On submit, render the whole thing - answers, ID image, signature, artist
name, timestamp - into a locked PDF stored in a private Supabase bucket,
retrievable but never editable. Retention matters: records must survive
staff turnover and be searchable for years, so index by client name, date,
and artist.

Aftercare flow: completing an intake schedules an SMS sequence - day 1
(washing and moisturising instructions), day 7 (healing check, reply if
concerns, replies land in a studio inbox), day 30 (healed photo request
plus a review link for the studio's Google profile). Templates editable
per studio; sequence cancellable per client.

Pages: today's intakes, client search with PDF retrieval, form template
editor (custom health questions, consent wording), aftercare template
editor, SMS inbox, settings. Pricing: 29 USD/month per studio via Stripe,
unlimited artists and forms, 14-day trial.
