Customer is not in a tangle of family, friends and your studio. Separate link per project, focus on that one tattoo.
On one page: previous sessions, healed photos, allergies, outstanding payments. No scrolling through 8 months of chat.
Project page with designs, appointments, healed photos. Sending to friends to show off is one link.
First contact often stays via Instagram. As soon as it gets serious: send them to your inktboek intake link. From there it runs through inktboek.

No, you do not lose customers because the bar is higher — you keep customers serious enough to do a 2-minute intake. No-shows and people who drop off at the deposit step disappear, and those cost you more money now than a few less casual requests.
Of course. Inktboek does not replace WhatsApp; it replaces using WhatsApp for planning and payment. Small talk and first contact stay fine via DM.
On the first project they get an automatic email with their project link. No password needed; the link in the email is their access. Works on phone and desktop.
Every booking asks for email and phone. Reminders go via email; you can also use WhatsApp manually for a nudge if they do not respond. But the chat itself sits in inktboek.
Not automatically. We advise: new customers and new projects directly via inktboek; existing projects you can create manually for the customers you keep actively helping.
