CueInk

How it works

CueInk is a walk-up queue for tattoo artists at events, flash days, and conventions. You show a QR code. Clients join on their phone. You run the line on yours.

1. 1Open an eventSign up, then create the guest spot with a name, date, and location. Leave signups open when you are ready for people to join.
2. 2Put the QR where people can scan itPrint the poster from the event. It links to that event’s join page. Your public page is cueink.site/yourname.
3. 3Clients join from their phoneThey add a name, phone, placement, size, and budget. They can pick a flash design or add their own reference photo. A deposit is optional.
4. 4You run the lineThe dashboard shows who is waiting, next, and in the chair. Reorder the list, mark done or no-show, and note cash. The page refreshes on its own.
5. 5They follow their placeEach client gets a private page with their spot. If they leave an email, CueInk can email them when they are up next or in the chair. Push works after they turn notifications on. Texts are sent from your phone with the Text button. CueInk does not send the text.

Event-day checklist

• Charge your phone before the doors open.
• Print the QR poster and put it where people are walking up.
• Join the line once from your own phone so you know the page loads.
• Set a deposit on the event if you want one. Connect Stripe on Profile for card payments. Cash can still be marked on a person in the line.
• Upload the flash sheet for this event if you are offering set designs. Custom is still their own photo.
• Tell clients to open their place-in-line page and tap Turn on notifications. On iPhone, they add that page to the Home Screen first, then open it from the icon.
• Watch for Here and Running late on the line. Those come from the client’s page.
• When you call someone, use Text or Call. The message goes out from your phone.

Card deposits settle in your Stripe account. Stripe takes its card processing fee. CueInk does not take a fee. If Stripe is not connected, the pay button stays hidden.
