Google Calendar is a calendar, not a booking system

Google Calendar is excellent at what it does — sharing calendar events, reminders, sync across devices. But a tattoo studio needs more than a calendar: a structured intake, deposits, customer record, healed photos, automatic reminders with the right content, and compliance documentation. Inktboek does all that and still syncs to your Google Calendar.

What Google Calendar does not do

	Google Calendar alone	inktboek
Customer books themselves	No, you create the event manually	✓ Customer books via intake link
Body diagram + refs upload	None	✓ Standard in every intake
iDEAL deposits	None	✓ Booked = paid
Reminders with intake info	Generic calendar notification	✓ Tailored with chat link and project info
Customer history visible	Title in event, that is it	✓ Full customer record per booking
NEN-EN 17169 passport	None	✓ Automatically per session
VAT-compliant invoices	None	✓ Auto-generated
Sync to Google Calendar	It is Google Calendar	✓ Two-way with Google Calendar (in development)
Per-artist calendar with conflict detect	One or more calendars	✓ Multi-artist with conflict detection

Best of both worlds

Frequently asked

What you still want to know.

Can I import existing Google Calendar events?

New events you make via inktboek and they go to Google Calendar. Existing events you can transfer manually or leave in Google — inktboek does not touch them.

Does it work with Apple Calendar or Outlook?

Apple Calendar and Outlook subscribing via iCal feed already works through Google's interop. Native Apple and Outlook sync is on the roadmap.

What if I share my calendar with a partner via Google?

That keeps working. Inktboek bookings appear in your Google Calendar as events, and what you share in Google stays shared. Your partner sees 'session with customer Iris 14:00-16:00' exactly as before.

Is my customer data sent to Google Calendar?

Name and session time are in the event title. Allergies, phone, intake details stay in inktboek; they are not in Google. Customer privacy stays protected.

Time for your ledger.
