Frequently asked questions

How does Lightspeed's tattoo POS handle compliance with local regulations for tattoo parlours?

Lightspeed POS has built-in compliance tools to help studio operators adhere to local and federal regulations. With customizable user permissions, operators can set rules and restrictions to protect sensitive data and ensure that only authorized staff have access to specific actions, such as modifying product information or completing transactions.

To comply with tattoo and piercing age restrictions, Lightspeed POS allows operators to set up register rules that prompt staff to verify customer IDs. Lightspeed's reporting tools also provide accurate and detailed records, helping you maintain proper documentation in case of audits or inspections.

Is there an option to manage deposits for tattoo parlour bookings?

Yes, tattoo studio staff can take deposits at the time of booking, keeping track of how much was paid and by which customer. When it comes time to pay for the remainder of the service, Lightspeed POS will automatically deduct the deposit from the customers' total at the register.

How does the Lightspeed POS help manage inventory for tattoo supplies and aftercare products?

With Lightspeed's POS system for tattoo shops and piercing studios, you can both provide services and sell physical goods.
