For tattoo & piercing studios
The loyalty card that carries your studio's look between sessions
A client's next piece might be months away, and a paper card gets lost long before then. Pikarta puts your studio's loyalty card in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet — branded with your own logo and colors, always on the phone, ready when they book the next session.
Why tattoo & piercing studios choose Pikarta
Built for a portfolio-driven business, not a stamp grid
Nothing to lose or forget
The card sits in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, so it survives the months between sessions that a paper card never does.
One scan to join
A QR code at the front desk is all it takes. Clients add the card in one tap — no app to download, no form during a fresh piece's aftercare talk.
Front desk tracks by PIN
Add points or a stamp in seconds with a PIN at checkout — fast between clients, no access to your bookings or takings.
Your brand, on the lock screen
The card carries your studio's logo and colors, and any update — a flash day, a guest artist — reaches clients without a separate channel.
Why loyalty pays for a tattoo studio
Tattoo and piercing work is portfolio-driven — clients pick a studio for a specific artist's style, then decide months later whether to come back for the next piece. That gap is where most studios lose repeat business, because nothing keeps the studio visible once the client walks out the door. Pikarta closes it with a card in the client's wallet, carrying your logo and colors, that quietly stays in view until they're ready to book again. Because ticket sizes swing from a small flash piece to a full sleeve session, points on spend or a straight discount for returning clients usually fit better than a flat per-visit stamp — the reward scales with what they actually put into the chair.
The same card doubles as a channel for aftercare and announcements. Push a short reminder a few days after a fresh piece, or let clients know about a flash-sheet drop or a guest artist coming through — the update reaches their lock screen through Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, the same place they already keep the loyalty card, with no extra app to install.

FAQ
Questions, answered
How does a Pikarta loyalty program work for a tattoo studio?
You build a loyalty card in the Pikarta app — for example, points on every session's spend, or a flat discount for returning clients — and print a QR code at the front desk. Clients scan it and the card saves to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, carrying your studio's own colors and logo. Your artists or front desk add points at checkout with a PIN, and the card updates on the client's phone automatically.
Do tattoo and piercing clients need to install an app?
No. The card lives in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, already on the client's phone. There's nothing to download, and Android clients get the same card in Google Wallet.
Can I use the card to announce flash days or aftercare reminders?
Yes. A short update to the card — a flash-sheet drop, a guest artist, or an aftercare reminder after a fresh piece — reaches the client's lock screen through Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, without a separate app or a text they might ignore.
Does points work better than stamps for tattoo pricing?
Often, yes. Tattoo tickets vary widely — a small piece and a full sleeve session aren't the same value — so points or cashback tied to spend usually reward clients more fairly than a flat per-visit stamp. You can also run a straight discount for repeat clients if that fits your pricing better.
