The problem
You can't pick up the phone with gloves on mid-tattoo
When you are three hours into a sleeve session or halfway through a piercing, you cannot stop to answer the phone. But the bloke who just spent an hour scrolling through your portfolio on Instagram is ready to book right now. If nobody picks up, he is messaging the next artist in his saved list.

How Tattoo Studios Use Jodie
Custom Tattoo Consultation
The situation: Someone has been planning a memorial tattoo for months. They found your portfolio online and are ready to book a consultation. They call on a Saturday but every artist in the studio is mid-session.
Jodie handles it: Jodie picks up, takes the design concept, preferred artist, size, placement, and budget. You finish the session and get a text with a qualified lead ready to book in for a consult.
Mid-Session Call Handling
The situation: You are four hours into a large back piece. Your gloves are on, the stencil is laid, and you cannot break sterile protocol. Three calls come in during the session.
Jodie handles it: Jodie handles all three - a cover-up enquiry, a walk-in availability check, and a rescheduling request. You finish the piece without interruption and catch up on the messages during your break.
Piercing Appointment
The situation: A parent calls to book a lobe piercing for their teenager. They want to know about aftercare like Bepanthen, age requirements, and what jewellery options are available.
Jodie handles it: Jodie answers their questions about your studio policy, takes the preferred appointment time, and notes the piercing type. You get the booking request ready to confirm.
Evening Portfolio Enquiry
The situation: A bloke has been scrolling through tattoo artists on Instagram all evening and is ready to commit. He calls your studio at 8pm to discuss a sleeve but you closed at 6.
Jodie handles it: Jodie answers, takes his design ideas, reference images description, and contact details. You see the message first thing in the morning and reach out before another artist does.
