Tattoo Studio FAQ

What should a tattoo studio reminder say?

Use the sender, date, time, one clear confirmation action, a reschedule action, and a human help route. Keep health, placement, and design details in an appropriate private channel. Review consent, payment security, state consumer/privacy rules, licensing requirements, and accessibility.

When should reminders be sent?

At booking: Issue a written deposit receipt with transfer, cancellation, artist-cancelled, and design terms. 2–4 weeks before: Run the studio’s approved custom-project or design checkpoint. 5–7 days before: Confirm the session length, arrival time, and a private question route. 72 hours before: Send the final keep-or-move request before the stated window closes.

Is message delivery the same as confirmation?

No. Delivery only reports the provider state. Confirmation needs an explicit reply or verified staff action, and a change request is not complete until the calendar state is acknowledged accurately.
