THE NEEDLE'S RUNNING.
THE PHONE ISN'T.
A managed AI receptionist for tattoo studios: screens ideas into real consults, cuts no-shows, and answers aftercare from your own sheet. From $899/mo.
An artist mid-session has a gloved hand on skin and a machine running — they cannot stop to answer the phone or the tenth 'how much for a half-sleeve' message. So the walk-in books with the shop that picked up, and the deposit walks out the door. We forge the front desk that answers instead: screens the idea, size, placement, and budget, books the consult, and answers aftercare and policy questions any hour, so nobody's stuck at the desk.
Captures the idea, size, placement, reference, and budget, then books the consult straight to the artist's calendar.
Explains your deposit and cancellation policy, sends confirmations and reminders, and cuts the empty chairs that kill a day.
Answers healing, touch-up, and shop-policy questions from your own aftercare sheet, word for word, so artists aren't texting at midnight.
Feeds bookings into Booksy, Square Appointments, Vagaro, or Acuity — whatever your shop already runs.
NAME THE BLEED.
A GLOVED HAND CAN'T PICK UP.
A tattoo studio leaks bookings two ways: the phone that rings while every hand is gloved, and the 'how much for a half sleeve' pile that buries a books-open week. Small shops miss roughly 6 of 10 calls. Answer a lead inside five minutes and you book the job at roughly nine times the rate. The agent holds both doors: answers every call, screens every inquiry, and walks the serious ones to a consult.
| What happens today | What the agent does instead |
|---|---|
| Artist is gloved and mid-session, call goes unanswered | Answers on the first ring and books the consult |
| Books open, and a week of 'how much' messages buries the inbox | Screens idea, size, placement, and budget, so only real consults reach the artist |
| The flake skips the chair after hours of drawing | Works your deposit policy on every booking, confirms, and reminds to cut no-shows |
| Aftercare texts pile up between sessions | Answers from your own aftercare sheet, word for word, 24/7. Anything medical routes to the artist |
THE DESK. NEVER THE DESIGN.
The agent never draws, never designs, never weighs in on the art. It works the desk: screens the idea, books the consult, holds your policies, answers the phone at any hour. It says it is AI at the top of every call, and anyone who asks for a human gets one. Every call, every note, every booking stays visible to you. The craft stays in the artist's hands.
ASKED BEFORE THE JOB.
ALL ANSWERS →Can it screen a tattoo idea and book the consult?
Yes. The agent asks the questions an artist needs first: subject, size, placement, reference, and rough budget. It never quotes a price. Sizing a piece takes the artist's eye, so it collects exactly that, books the consult into the right artist's calendar with the notes attached, and routes anything that needs judgment to a human.
Does it handle deposits and reduce no-shows?
It explains your deposit and cancellation policy on the call, collects what's needed to hold the slot, and sends confirmations and reminders so fewer chairs sit empty. You set the policy and the reminder cadence on the first call that scopes the build.
Does it work with Booksy, Square Appointments, or Vagaro?
We wire the managed-agent rails into the booking software you already run, including Booksy, Square Appointments, Vagaro, Acuity, and Mindbody. The agent books into your existing calendar, not a separate one. Consult notes and booking details land on the artist's calendar entry, and the setup call scopes any homegrown stack.
What does the tattoo-studio voice agent cost monthly?
From $899/mo per agent, which includes 3,000 minutes a month (then $0.30/min), plus a $2,500 setup and a $50-per-booked-appointment performance line: the same public ledger as every Gaelworx voice agent build. See the full ledger or read the general cost breakdown.
