Digital stamp card for Tattoo Studios

Tobias had started a piece half-finished – then you didn't hear from him for months. With Stempely you could have brought him back with one click: "Your sleeve is waiting. Book your follow-up session now."

What is a digital stamp card for tattoo studios?

A digital stamp card for tattoo studios replaces paper cards and WhatsApp lists: customers collect stamps via QR code or NFC after every session, you see who is just before their bonus tattoo and who hasn't been in for months. No more WhatsApp lists, no scraps of paper next to the consent form, fully GDPR-compliant.

Max's 3rd session. Today.

Max is in the chair to finish his sleeve. The NFC tag at the counter lights up. He briefly taps it with his phone. No slip of paper. No misplaced cards.
Congratulations! Your next tattoo comes with 20% off, on us.

The problem

Why don't guests come back?

Empty tattoo chair in the studio — a symbol of customers not coming back
Jonas runs a Tattoo Studio in Berlin. Tobias came came in every few months for a new piece, wanted to finish a sleeve. Then they disappeared. Jonas didn't notice – one lost regular = around €1,000 revenue per year simply gone.

  • You can't see which customers are just before their bonus tattoo
  • You can't reach out to inactive regulars specifically when a sleeve is half-finished
  • You reward no loyalty – customers have no reason to come back for their next piece instead of going to the competition
  • No overview: who was last in when, how many sessions each customer has had with you
The solution

How it works

3 steps to more loyal customers

1

Set up the studio – once, in 5 minutes

Sign up for free and configure the card: e.g. 2 sessions = 20% off the third tattoo. QR code ready to use immediately, no technical know-how needed. From now on everything runs automatically.

2

After the session – just hold the phone to it

The customer scans your QR code or holds their phone to the NFC tag at the counter. 2 seconds, no account, no personal data. No effort for you or your artists.

3

Redeem the bonus discount on the third tattoo

After 2 sessions, the customer can redeem 20% off directly on the third tattoo – no slip of paper, no asking. Anyone who's been away for a while comes back through an automatic push.

What Tattoo und Piercing Studios owners say

★★★★★

Since we started using Stempely, regulars come back noticeably more often. The win-back message filled our calendar on a quiet Tuesday.

J
Jonas K.
Ink & Soul Studio Berlin
★★★★★

We announced a guest artist, sent a push to the regulars – 80% of the slots were gone in two hours. We used to bother Instagram for that and hope.

M
Mia S.
Black Anchor Tattoo
★★★★★

On the very first day three customers scanned the QR code. It couldn't be easier – and my artists don't have to do anything for it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is it worth it for a tattoo studio if customers only come every few months?+
Yes – especially with infrequent visits it's particularly worthwhile. A tattoo costs between €100 and €1,000: there, 20% off the third tattoo is a real argument, not a gimmick. On top of that, Stempely automatically reminds inactive customers via push message when they stay away too long. You do nothing – Stempely asks for you.
How does stamping work for multi-hour tattoo sessions?+
At the first consultation or at the start of the session, the customer scans the QR code stuck next to your workstation or at the reception counter. The app is on the phone before the stencil is on the skin. For follow-up sessions or touch-ups, they tap the NFC card at reception while you prepare the tattoo machine setup for them. No login, no spread-out account, no one has to enter data while fresh ink is involved.
Can I decide myself how many stamps for which reward?+
Completely. 2 tattoos = 20% off the third? Or rather 3 visits including consultation = free touch-up? You configure it once in your dashboard – Stempely carries it out automatically for every customer.
Does this also work for piercings or only for tattoos?+
For both and everything in between. You can award stamps for every visit, whether tattoo, piercing, laser removal or consultation. You decide what counts.
What does Stempely cost for my tattoo studio?+
You start free forever – no credit card and no minimum term. The Premium plan costs 9,99 €/month and brings all marketing features: reactivation pushes to customers before and after the touch-up window, win-back automation and contactless NFC stamps – one each for reception and workstation. With an average tattoo job of €200–600, a single returning customer per quarter is enough to refinance Stempely many times over.
Will my customers accept an extra app – most already have Instagram for inspiration?+
In this target group (18–45 years, tattoo-affine), the app barrier is especially low: anyone who uses Instagram, Pinterest and probably also a booking tool like Booksy or Salonkee will install an extra app without friction. The Stempely app itself has no sign-up and no profile – after the QR scan it's active. Unlike a classic newsletter opt-in, which most customers in the studio decline, the barrier for an anonymous app is typically under 5%.
What about customers who deliberately put their phone away because they have a long session ahead?+
That's exactly what the reception stamp is for: it's tapped briefly on the way in, and during the session the phone stays off. Over 95% of tattoo clientele between 18 and 45 use a smartphone (often with tattoo-inspiration boards in the cloud, Spotify for the session, Apple Pay for payment). Anyone who comes without one anyway gets the stamp added by you from the dashboard as soon as the setup is ready.
Is Stempely GDPR-compliant – even when I keep consent forms for tattoos?+
Yes, and that's particularly relevant in a tattoo studio: for legal reasons you have to keep consent forms, proof of identity and information sheets anyway – these belong to your studio file and are subject to special retention periods. Stempely explicitly does not touch this data. The digital stamp card works completely separately via an anonymous device ID, without real names, without date of birth, without ID data. That gives you a clean separation between the legally required studio file and the stamp card – no double GDPR records needed.
