Take a look inside Tattoo Logger

How do I use it?

Submit a Google form after every tattoo. It’s quick, and you can do it on your phone. If you choose Tattoo Logger Comprehensive, you’ll keep expenses up-to-date with another Google form.

The forms populate your spreadsheet, which automatically generates analyses. You can click around to look at different Dashboards to see information about your business.

Using Forms to Enter Data

For both Tattoo Logger: Appointments and Tattoo Logger: Comprehensive, you will enter data into your sheet using Google Forms. You can save these forms to your phone’s home screen. Using forms is fast and easier than entering data into the spreadsheet.

Tattoo Logger: Appointments

After each tattoo, you will fill out a Tattoo Appointment Form.

Tattoo Logger: Comprehensive

You will use a Tattoo Appointment Form and Expenses Form. Depending on how you receive payments and deposits, you may also use a Monthly Revenue Form and a Deposit Form.
