What InkLot does

Your client book is a legal record. InkLot is the offline record book built for independent tattoo artists — booth renters and private-studio owners who buy their own inks, keep their own client files, and don't want a monthly subscription for what a binder used to do. State boards expect a client record: signed consent, the procedure details, and in many states the ink manufacturer and identifying numbers for what went into the skin. Industry guidance under the federal MoCRA rules points the same direction — keep batch-level records for years, per client, per session. Paper binders get misfiled, water-damaged, and lost between shop moves — and a consent form you can't produce may as well never have existed. InkLot keeps the whole file on your phone or iPad. Hand the client your device, they read and sign the consent on glass, and it's sealed into a dated PDF attached to their record — no printer, no scanner, no filing cabinet. Then log the session in seconds: placement, style, needle groupings, and the exact inks used, picked in two taps from your own ink shelf. Stock the shelf once — brand, color, lot and batch numbers, expiry — and every session inherits accurate traceability without retyping a bottle label mid-appointment. Deposits stop living in DMs. Record what was taken, what it applies to, and no-shows, so the awkward money conversation is a screen you can show, not a memory. Healing notes and dated healed photos live with each session, so cover-up and touch-up decisions start from what actually happened. When a board inspector, a shop owner, or a client asks for the file, export it: one clean, dated PDF of consents, sessions, inks, and notes. A retention clock shows how long each record has been on file against the period you set for your state. InkLot is fully offline. No account, no cloud, no per-client fees, nothing to subscribe to. The records are yours, still there when the shop Wi-Fi isn't. InkLot stores the records you create and reminds you about dates you set. It does not provide medical, legal, or regulatory advice. • On-glass client consent, sealed into dated PDFs • Two-tap ink logging from your own shelf: brand, color, lot, batch • Ink shelf with expiry dates and archive for finished bottles • Session records: placement, needles, healing notes, healed-photo timeline • Deposit and no-show ledger per client • One-tap export of a client's complete file • 100% offline — no account, no subscription, no monthly fee
