Inkzup: A Fresh Take on Tattoo Studio Management

At Interplay, we’re passionate about supporting startups that are redefining their industries, and we’re excited to announce that Inkzup has joined our Incubator! With its innovative approach to business management for tattoo studios, Inkzup is poised to make a lasting impact on the industry.

What is Inkzup?

Inkzup is an all-in-one business management platform designed specifically for tattoo studios. It’s built to help studios streamline their operations, grow their clientele, and enhance the overall experience for both artists and customers.

Here’s what sets Inkzup apart:

  • Client Scheduling and Booking: Simplified tools to keep studios maximize bookings and efficiency.
  • Marketing Automation: Helping studios reach more clients and stand out from the competition.
  • Integrated Payment Processing: A seamless way to manage payments and even offer financing.
  • Financing Options for Customers: With Ink Now, Pay Later, clients can pay for the tattoos over time while studios/artists get paid upfront, making premium designs more accessible while boosting studio revenue.
  • Artist Marketplace: A space for artists and studios to connect with potential clients, increasing visibility and bookings.
Why We’re Partnering with Inkzup

Our mission is to work with startups that combine innovation with impact. , and Inkzup embodies both. Here’s why we chose to collaborate with them:

  1. Addressing a Critical Need
    The tattoo industry is growing rapidly, but many studios still rely on outdated systems to manage their business. Inkzup offers a modern, tech-driven solution that meets the unique needs of this market.
  2. Empowering Small Businesses
    Tattoo studios are often small, independent businesses that don’t have access to robust management tools. Inkzup levels the playing field, giving these businesses the resources they need to thrive.
  3. A Passionate Team with Vision
    Founder Anitra Davenport knows the tattoo industry inside and out. Her deep understanding of the challenges studios face, coupled with her dedication to solving them, makes Anitra a perfect fit for our incubator.
  4. Improving the Client Experience
    By offering financing options, Inkzup helps clients afford the tattoos they’ve always wanted while giving studios the ability to secure higher-value bookings. It’s a win for both sides.
Looking Ahead

As Inkzup continues to develop and scale, we’re excited to support them as an Interim Cofounder – providing funding, resources, and the network they need to grow. Together, we aim to refine their platform, expand their reach, and elevate the tattoo industry to new heights.

We’re proud to be part of their journey.
