You trained to create beautiful, lasting results - not to spend evenings chasing touch-up bookings, digging through paper forms, and trying to remember pigment formulas.
A lip blush appointment takes two to three hours of blocked time plus full preparation. When a client ghosts, you can't fill that slot. No deposit means no compensation for your lost morning.
The costLost revenue every single week
Allergy screenings, contraindication checks, patch test records - all on paper in a filing cabinet. Can you produce the signed consent from eight months ago if a client disputes something?
The costUnprotected if there's ever a claim
You used a specific warm modifier mix for her brows six months ago. Which notebook was that in? Which page? One wrong shade at a touch-up session and your reputation takes a hit.
The costInconsistent results damage your brand
A client books the initial microblading session but never comes back for the six-week touch-up. No automatic follow-up, no linked booking, no way to track that the treatment is incomplete.
The costUnfinished work and lost follow-up revenue
By the end of your first week you'll have online booking with deposits, medical forms on autopilot, formula records for every client, and healing reminders running. Here's how.
No other app combines offline-first formula tracking, medical consent with audit trail, and automated healing timelines in one system. These are the three reasons PMU studios switch to inkStar.
AI analyzes your calendar, treatment types, and buffer preferences to suggest the best available slots. Clients book online with automatic deposit collection. The consultation-to-procedure-to-touch-up workflow is built right in.
PMU-specific health questionnaires with allergy screening, contraindication checks, patch test tracking, and digital consent. Complete with timestamps, signatures, and a full legal audit trail. Sent automatically before appointments so clients arrive ready.
Send payment links via the app - no awkward money conversations. Collect deposits at booking, offer Klarna installments for premium treatments, and track package pricing automatically. Initial plus touch-up bundles are built in.
Record exact pigment brands, shades, mixing ratios, needle configurations, and skin response notes. Link before/after photos to every treatment. When a client returns for a touch-up or refresh, you have instant access to everything from their last session.
See your revenue, commissions, booking rates, and treatment trends in real-time dashboards built for PMU businesses. Know which treatments bring the most revenue, track touch-up completion rates, and monitor each artist's performance.
Automated aftercare sequences guide clients from day one through their annual refresh. Day three check-in, day seven photo request, six-week touch-up reminder, twelve-month refresh notification - all customizable to your protocols.
See every artist's schedule in one shared team calendar. Block time for consultations, procedures, and patch tests. Reschedule with drag-and-drop and avoid double bookings across your whole studio.
Brow specialists, lip blush artists, SMP technicians, lash-and-PMU hybrids - inkStar adapts to how you work, whatever your niche.
Microblading from home, lip blush in a rented chair, SMP on the road - run your entire practice from your phone.
One dashboard for your entire operation. Every artist, every treatment, every formula - visible and accounted for.
Generic booking tools don't track pigment formulas. Calendar apps don't manage healing timelines. The features that matter most for PMU - formula recall, medical compliance, and multi-session workflows - simply don't exist in one-size-fits-all tools.

Hear from PMU professionals who made the switch - from solo brow artists to multi-artist studios.
“Formula tracking eliminated my biggest fear.”
I had notebooks full of pigment formulas - different notebook for each client. Twice I mixed the wrong shade because I couldn't find my notes. Since switching to inkStar, every formula, every photo, every treatment note is instantly available on my phone. I haven't had a single formula error since the switch.
“Touch-up attendance completely turned around.”
Touch-ups are where we perfect the result, but clients kept ghosting after the initial session. Once we turned on inkStar's automatic reminders at four weeks, one week, and two days before, nearly every single client started showing up. Our healed results are noticeably better because the work actually gets finished.
“Deposits stopped the no-shows overnight.”
A lip blush appointment blocks three hours plus full prep. When clients ghosted, I'd lose an entire morning with no compensation. Since requiring deposits through inkStar, the no-shows just stopped. My calendar is full of clients who are committed. The revenue difference is significant.
“The medical forms saved me during an inspection.”
A health inspector asked to see consent records for a specific client from months ago. With paper forms I would have been scrambling through filing cabinets. With inkStar I pulled it up in seconds - timestamped, signed, with the full allergy screening attached. The inspector was impressed.
“Commission disputes disappeared completely.”
With three PMU artists doing different treatments at different price points, calculating commissions on package deals was a nightmare. Artists questioned the numbers every pay period. Since moving to inkStar, commissions calculate automatically and everyone can see their own earnings in real-time. Not a single dispute since we switched.
