Absolutely! We find artists either have a strict no DM policy or want to use Instagram for what it was intended for - to be social!
If you still want to use DMs for chit chat first, we recommend chatting through the details with the client first and then either getting them to submit an enquiry form or manually adding an appointment. This means they still get all the benefits of the platform (text reminders!).
Many artists get frustrated with the sheer volume of messages to respond to. By removing the 'business' side it helps to take control back.
Get Ink streamlines enquiry and booking admin, allowing artists to get all the information they need about the client and tattoo, arrange appointment dates without the ping-pong, and securely take a deposit.
You can message clients in the Get Ink too which groups everything together within the clients profile, building up a history that you can access anytime without scrolling back, remembering Instagram handles or having the fear of losing access to your account.
