Digital loyalty card for Tattoo Shops

Yes – infrequent visits are exactly where it pays off. A tattoo costs anywhere from $100 to $1,000, so 20% off the third tattoo is a real incentive, not a gimmick. On top of that, Stempely automatically reminds inactive clients via push when they stay away too long. You do nothing – Stempely follows up for you.

At the consultation or the start of the session, the client scans the QR code next to your station or at the front desk. With the phone camera, the punch card lands in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet before the stencil is on the skin – or they use the free Stempely app, which adds push notifications. For follow-up sessions or touch-ups, they tap the NFC card at the front desk while you set up the machine. No login, no account, nobody has to type in data with fresh ink involved.

Completely. 2 tattoos = 20% off the third? Or 3 visits including the consultation = a free touch-up? You set it once in your dashboard – Stempely applies it automatically for every client.

Both, and everything in between. You can award stamps for every visit, whether tattoo, piercing, laser removal or consultation. You decide what counts.

You start free forever – no credit card and no contract. Every feature is included free for up to 25 clients: reactivation pushes before and after the touch-up window, win-back automation and contactless NFC stamps – one for the front desk and one for your station. From the 26th client, Premium costs $14.99/month – with unlimited clients and multiple locations. With an average tattoo at $200–600, one returning client per quarter pays for Stempely many times over.

No. Clients scan the QR code with their phone camera and add the loyalty card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet – no download, no sign-up, no profile. Clients who prefer an app can use the free Stempely app, which adds push notifications for your promotions. Both work equally well – you choose in the dashboard which route your clients take.

That's exactly what the front-desk stamp is for: a quick tap on the way in, and the phone stays away during the session. Almost every tattoo client has a smartphone on them anyway (for reference pics, music during the session, mobile payment). Anyone who comes without one gets the stamp added by you from the dashboard once the setup is ready.

Yes, and that matters in a tattoo shop: you already have to keep consent forms, ID checks and aftercare sheets – they belong in your client records and are subject to their own retention rules. Stempely never touches that data. The digital punch card runs completely separately via an anonymous device ID – no real names, no date of birth, no ID data. That keeps a clean line between your required client records and your loyalty program. Stempely is a German company with data hosted in the EU, built for GDPR and in line with US privacy laws like the CCPA.
