How Taddoo compares
Square Appointments is built for many kinds of businesses. Taddoo is made only for tattooing: requests with design, placement, size and reference images, flash, consent forms and deposits are part of the core, and every artist keeps their own app, also inside a studio. If you mainly offer other services alongside tattooing, Square Appointments can be the better fit.
