Home/AI for Tattoo Shops
For tattoo shops & body art studios

Screen every consult. Hold every slot.

Stacklight builds tattoo shops a custom AI assistant that takes consult requests, gathers placement, size, style, and reference photos, books the right artist, and sends the deposit link — 24/7, in your shop's voice.

You're under the needle. The DMs keep coming.

Every artist knows the pattern: forty messages asking "how much for a half sleeve," half of them never answer back, and the one serious client gets buried. An AI assistant answers all of them the moment they land, pulls the details you actually need out of each one, and hands you a short list of people who are ready to put money down.

✎

Screens consult requests

Collects placement, size, style, reference photos, budget range, and age confirmation before it ever reaches you.

◷

Books the right artist

Routes each request to the artist who takes that style, then books the consult or session into their calendar.

◈

Collects the deposit

Sends your deposit link, confirms only once it clears, and reminds them before the session so the chair isn't empty.

What it does for your shop

The assistant does not give a final price on a piece — it shares your published minimum and rates and leaves the quote to the artist. It also does not give medical or aftercare advice; healing, allergy, skin, and infection questions are routed to your team. Want it to answer the phone during sessions too? Pair it with an AI receptionist.

Questions, answered.

Can the AI book tattoo consultations?+
Yes — it takes requests around the clock, collects placement, size, style, reference photos, budget range, and age confirmation, then books the consult with the artist who takes that style. Anything that needs your eye comes to you with the details already gathered.
Can it collect deposits?+
Yes. Once a slot is picked it sends your deposit link and confirms the appointment only after the deposit clears, using your shop's own policy and payment processor. Reminders go out before the session too.
Will it quote a price for a tattoo?+
No. It shares your published shop minimum and hourly or day rates and explains how you price work, but the quote on a piece stays with the artist. It also gives no medical or aftercare advice and routes those questions to your team.
How much does it cost?+
Most shops start on Growth (AI chat + booking + website) at $3,600 setup plus $239/month, or Starter chat at $2,000 + $159/month. Website-only is $900 one-time on the current founding-client rate, regularly $1,200. Phone answering starts at $6,400 + $399/month. See all pricing.
