Taddoovs Excel, Zettel und Instagram-DMs
Notebooks, Excel and Instagram DMs cost nothing but a lot of time and nerves. Taddoo bundles everything in one place and automates the repetitive parts.
Honest comparison, as of 2026-07-09
Most tattoo artists start with Instagram DMs for requests, a notebook or calendar for appointments and Excel for revenue. That works until volume grows: requests slip through, appointments clash, deposits go uncollected, no-shows pile up and bookkeeping becomes a weekend project. Taddoo replaces this loose collection with one connected workflow and handles the repetitive parts automatically.
Done with paper chaos and DM ping-pong.
Taddoo handles the repetitive work so you can focus on why clients come to you: the art on the skin.

Frequently asked questions
My notebook-and-Instagram system works fine. Why switch?
As long as appointments are few, it is enough. Switching pays off once you lose time on appointment ping-pong, get no-shows because no deposit was taken, or hunt for receipts at year end. Taddoo takes exactly these recurring tasks off your plate, from $16 per month with 30 days free to try.
Do I have to re-enter all my existing clients?
No. Taddoo can import a client list as CSV and automatically creates a client record for every incoming email. You do not start from zero.
