Security and control
TattooMate is built so that data is protected, processes remain traceable and mistakes are avoided.
No empty promises. Clear technical and organisational measures.
What security really means
Security doesn't just mean encryption. Security means control, clear responsibilities and clean processes.
Data stays under control
You know where your data is, who can access it and what happens with it.
Access is clearly defined
Not everyone sees everything. Roles and permissions prevent unnecessary or incorrect access.
Mistakes are caught
Required logic, blocks and validation prevent risky gaps in everyday use.
Data storage & hosting
TattooMate doesn't force you into someone else's cloud. You decide how and where your data is operated.
Self-hosting without cloud lock-in
Full control over infrastructure and data — no vendor lock-in.
- Can be operated on your own server or environment
- No dependency on external cloud providers
- Clear separation between application and marketing website
- Suitable for studios with elevated data protection requirements
Conscious data handling
Only what is actually needed is stored.
- No unnecessary tracking or analytics scripts
- No passing of data to third parties
- Personal data stays in studio context
- PDFs and images retrievable securely, not publicly
Operated as SaaS (hosted by TattooMate)
If you prefer, we operate TattooMate for your studio — without handing over control of your data.
- Separate instances per studio (no shared data storage)
- No third-party access to client data or forms
- Access exclusively via secured connections
- Suitable for studios that don't want to run their own server
Access, roles & protection
Multiple people work in the studio. TattooMate cleanly separates access.
Role and permission system
Not every member of staff needs access to all functions or data.
- Role-based permissions (e.g. view vs. edit)
- Admin area for authorised users only
- Less risk from misuse
- Suitable for teams and guest artists
Protected content & images
Images, PDFs and sensitive data are not freely accessible.
- Protected API endpoints for files
- Access only with active session and permission
- No public file paths
- Particularly important for IDs, tattoo and touch-up images
