Client

"Hi, I'm looking to get a sleeve tattoo. Do you have any openings this week?"

The Problem

TATTOO PARLORS
LOSE CLIENTS EVERY DAY

You're losing bookings every day your phone goes unanswered. Clients call after hours, no-shows waste your artist's time, and your front desk can't keep up. There's a better way.

You Miss Calls When It Matters Most

Someone sees your portfolio at 10 PM, calls to book a sleeve, and gets voicemail. By the time you check messages in the morning, they've already booked with another shop that answered.

The Cost
$3,500+
Lost per missed client

Your Artists Are Interrupted Constantly

While an artist is in the middle of a detailed piece, three more calls come in. Consultation requests, booking questions, aftercare inquiries—you can't be everywhere at once. Clients get frustrated waiting, and you lose bookings.

The Cost
40+ calls/day
Per busy tattoo shop

Consultations No-Show and You Lose Them Forever

You block out time, prep the portfolio, and wait. They don't show. You send one follow-up text that gets ignored. That's it—they're gone. No second chance, no recovery, just wasted time and another empty chair.
