For tattoo artists
The best AI receptionist
for tattoo artists.
Big custom pieces need a real consultation. And you are tattooing.
A Saturday morning, told straight
A custom-sleeve consult is a four-figure booking. The phone rings while you are mid-line.
Wednesday afternoon. You are forty minutes into the second session of a half-sleeve. The needle is on skin. The phone rings on the front counter. Your apprentice is downstairs cleaning kit. Voicemail picks up after six rings, and the caller does not leave a message.
What you missed was a guy who has been saving for a back-piece for nine months. He has the references in a Pinterest board, a budget of £2,400, and free Tuesdays for the next three months. He rings the next studio in his bookmarks. They pick up. He is in their consult chair on Saturday, and his money is theirs.
Foan answers the second the phone rings. Speaks like your apprentice on a good day. Asks what kind of piece, where on the body, how long they have been thinking about it, when they could come in for a sit-down. Books the consult in Booksy or Square. Texts you the brief and reference photos so you can have a proper look between sessions.
Custom work is the entire margin in tattooing. A walk-in flash piece pays the rent. A four-session sleeve pays for the studio. Miss the call that books the sleeve and you are running on flash for the rest of the month.
Most studios we talk to lose three or four custom enquiries a week to the phone going unanswered. Even one a month at £1,500 is more than Foan costs in a year.
Works the same for cover-ups, touch-ups, guest-spot enquiries, and the consultation rebookings that fall through the diary.
