Hey Emma! It's Day 3 - how's your tattoo healing?
Normal at this stage:
- Light peeling/flaking
- Some itching
- Colors looking dull
Red flags (message us immediately):
- Excessive redness/swelling
- Pus or unusual discharge
- Fever or excessive pain
Keep washing & moisturizing!
Day 3
SEQUENCE: Aftercare Journey
TRIGGER: Tag "tattoo-done" added
DAY 0: Send complete aftercare instructions
DAY 3: Check-in with healing status
DAY 7: Midpoint check, remind about moisturizing
DAY 14: Final healing check, offer touch-up if needed
How it works: Written instructions prevent the "I forgot what you said" excuse. Timed check-ins catch healing issues early before they become disasters. Clients feel cared for, leading to better reviews and referrals.
Workflow tip: Include photos of normal vs. problematic healing to set clear expectations.
Reach out 4-6 weeks after session to check healing and book free touch-ups. Capture easy rebookings you'd otherwise miss.
Hey Emma! It's been 6 weeks since your sleeve session.
Your tattoo should be fully healed by now!
TOUCH-UP CHECK:
Send us a healed photo and we'll check if any areas need touching up.
Touch-ups are FREE within 3 months if needed!
Also - how are you loving it? Would love to see a photo!
Here's a pic! Looks amazing, but the shading on the elbow looks a bit light.
Great eye! That's normal for elbow area (high movement).
Let's book a quick touch-up session:
- Duration: 30-45 minutes
- Cost: FREE (within warranty)
Available slots this week:
Wed 3 PM, Thu 5 PM, Sat 2 PM

CAMPAIGN: Touch-Up Reminder
TARGET: Contacts tagged "tattoo-done" from 4-6 weeks ago
MESSAGE: Ask for healed photo, offer free touch-up
TIMING: Send on Monday morning
FOLLOW-UP: Book touch-up session if needed
How it works: Proactive touch-up check shows you stand behind your work. Free touch-up builds loyalty and trust. Gets clients back in your chair where you can pitch their next piece. Win-win-win.
Workflow tip: Use healed photos for portfolio (with permission) and social media content.

STEP 2: Collect deposit
STEP 3: After each session, send completion update
STEP 4: Schedule next session reminder (2 weeks before)

How it works: Clear project roadmap builds trust for expensive pieces. Scheduled reminders ensure clients show up for all sessions. Progress updates keep clients excited throughout the 4-6 month journey. Reduces drop-off rate.
Workflow tip: Send progress photos after each session to build anticipation for the finished piece.
When clients refer friends, both get discounts. Word-of-mouth is the best marketing for tattoo studios.
LOVE YOUR INK? SHARE THE LOVE!

TRIGGER: After first tattoo completion (tag "first-tattoo-done")
ACTION: Send referral program details with unique code
THEN: Track referrals via code mentions
THEN: Credit both accounts automatically
THEN: Notify referrer when friend books
How it works: Double-sided rewards incentivize both parties. Unique codes make tracking automatic. Discount credit (not cash) ensures they return to redeem. Tattoo clients naturally show off their work - this formalizes word-of-mouth.
Workflow tip: Send referral reminder after they post about their tattoo on social media.
On the 1-year anniversary of their tattoo, reach out with touch-up offer or pitch their next piece.

How it works: Anniversaries are emotional touchpoints that reignite excitement. Seeing their old tattoo reminds them how much they love it. Limited-time offer creates urgency. Perfect moment to pitch their next piece.
Workflow tip: Include the original photo to trigger nostalgia and emotional connection.
