Tattoo artists and piercers
There is nothing to choose: every pro has every feature from sign-up, with no card required and no limits. KIPIK only takes a percentage of the payments that go through KIPIK, depending on how the client pays you.
- Online: a quote deposit, a booking, a flash. KIPIK brings you the client and the deposit secures the appointment: 5% per payment.
- In person, by card: the client taps their card on your phone (Tap to Pay) or pays at the till. A lower percentage, 2%, with the invoice and the till filled in for you.
Piercing is not a second-class audience: piercers get exactly the same offer, on the same terms. The piercer space.
Who pays the fees
Every payment has a cost, that of the payment provider (Stripe), at actual cost, with no KIPIK mark-up. You choose who bears the commission and that cost:
- The client, by default: they pay a service fee, included in the price they see. You receive your price.
- Shared: you and your client, half each.
- You: the client pays your price; the commission and the fees are deducted from what you receive.
Your client always sees a single, final price before paying. The service fee is the same whatever their payment method: card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, SEPA direct debit or Klarna. Paying in instalments with Klarna costs them nothing extra.
The actual fees
The actual fees depend on the client's card, which nobody knows before the payment. KIPIK first withholds the rate of a standard European card, then recalculates on the card used: any excess is returned to you, any top-up (premium or foreign card, Klarna) is taken from your share. Nothing is ever asked of the client afterwards. The rates of each payment method are shown in the app, before every payment.
Always included
Verified profile and portfolio, calendar, electronically signed quotes, deposits, online and in-person payments, till, 2026-compliant e-invoicing, ink and jewellery traceability, Flash Minute, guest spots, conventions, statistics, project listings, project messaging. No limit on photos, quotes or appointments. For every pro, without exception.
The KIPIK Original Crew
Members of the KIPIK Original Crew, the ambassadors chosen by KIPIK, get a reduced percentage everywhere: 1%, online and in person.
Convention organisers
The same offer for every convention, whatever its size: exhibitor directory, applications and stands, interactive floor plan, ticketing, statistics. KIPIK takes 2% of the standard price of each allocated stand and 2% of each ticket sold online. You also choose who pays the service fee: the exhibitor or the buyer, shared, or you.
In return, KIPIK's visibility at the event: its logo, the mention "Ticketing and floor plan: KIPIK" and the floor plan QR code at the entrance. And if KIPIK comes, the KIPIK stand: 3 well-placed metres, run by the KIPIK team and a guest tattoo artist who won their place through their use of the app. The organiser space.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a subscription?
No. KIPIK costs €0 a month, with no commitment and no card at sign-up. Every feature is included for every pro, with no limits.
Does the commission apply to payments received directly at the studio?
No. It only applies to payments taken by KIPIK: 5% online, 2% by card in person.
Who decides who pays the fees?
You do, in the app: the client (by default), shared, or you. The setting applies to quotes, services and flash. The client always sees the final price before paying.
Do clients pay anything?
Nothing. Search, booking, messaging, project listings: everything is free, with no in-app purchase.
I had a Pro or Premium subscription. What happens to it?
The former plans, the trial and the one-year commitment no longer exist. KIPIK no longer charges anything each month and your account keeps every feature. A subscription taken out on the App Store or Google Play is cancelled in your device settings.
