AI assistant for tattoo studios: design questions and appointments in one inbox
Design enquiries arrive with a stack of reference photos, across all channels at once. Slimbot collects wishes, size and placement, asks about age and prepares it for your artist. Price and design remain with your team.
Hey! I'd like a small line drawing of a peony on my wrist, here's an example.
Assistant's draft
Lovely idea, thanks for the photo! How large would you like it approximately, and how old are you? I'll pass it on to the artist for an intake.

In practice
What comes in at tattoo and piercing studios — and what Slimbot does
"This is my idea, can you tattoo this?"
The assistant asks about size, placement and colour and saves the photos. The artist assesses the design.
"How much does this cost approximately?"
No price from the AI. The enquiry goes with the details to your artist.
"I'm 17, am I allowed to get a tattoo?"
The assistant asks for the age and forwards the question; your studio determines what's possible.
"My tattoo from last week looks odd."
No aftercare advice. The message goes straight to your artist and is added to the customer card.
"Can I change the date?"
Proposal for a new time from the diary; the deposit remains linked to the appointment.

How it works
Get started in three steps
From sign-up to working channel. You keep your own number.
1
Connect your channels
WhatsApp, Instagram and e-mail from the studio.
2
Set your rules
Age limit, deposit, what an intake involves.
3
Decide what goes to the team
Such as competitions, designs and aftercare.
Features
What you get
Features that Slimbot has today. No promises we don't keep.
Design questions with photos
Reference photos, size, placement on the body and style are added to the conversation and customer card, so the artist starts with everything in front of them.
Age check and intake
The assistant asks for the age and prepares the intake for the team. Your studio decides on exceptions and consent.
Deposit via payment link
A date is only confirmed once the deposit has been received. Send a payment link in the conversation and see on the customer card whether it has been paid.
Appointments per artist
One connected calendar per artist or piercer; reminders from your own number.
Instagram and WhatsApp together
Messages from Instagram, WhatsApp and e-mail in one team inbox, instead of in your artists' private DMs.

From €14.95 per month
Excl. VAT, from the live price list. Start with a free account; a subscription only begins when you accept it.
Does the AI mention prices for a tattoo or piercing?
No. The price depends on the design, size and jewellery and stays with your artist or piercer. The assistant collects the details and passes on the question.
Does the AI give aftercare advice?
No. Questions about healing or complaints go directly to your team. You can prepare your own aftercare text to send yourself.
Can the AI verify age?
It asks for it and adds it to the customer card. Checking ID happens in your studio, at the first visit.
How does the deposit work?
You send a payment link in the conversation. After payment you see that with the customer. You record the appointment and amount yourself.
Can everyone see my reference photos?
Only team members with access to the inbox. You decide who sees which conversations.
What does it cost?
Creating an account is free, without a credit card. The current monthly amounts are on the pricing page.
