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 2026-09-12
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 CHF per month with 14 days free to try.
Do I have to re-enter all my existing clients?
No. Taddoo can import a client list as CSV, and every request through your page, every waitlist entry and every booking creates the client automatically. You do not start from zero.
