Hello Anytime / Tattoo studios

AI receptionist for tattoo businesses

Needle in hand? Hello Anytime takes the next booking enquiry.

You can't stop mid-line to answer. Hello Anytime takes the design idea, size, placement, whether it's a first tattoo and the dates that suit, and checks the caller is 18 or over.

Example call to Black Anchor Tattooabout 1 min
Hi, you've reached Black Anchor Tattoo. I'm Rhys's AI assistant, and this call is recorded. How can I help?
I want a fine line floral piece on my forearm.
Sounds lovely. Roughly how big, and do you have reference images you could send Rhys?
About the size of my hand. Yes, I've got a few on my phone.
Perfect. Is it your first tattoo, and can I just check you're 18 or over?
Second one, and I'm 24. Mia Lewis.
Thanks Mia. Rhys will text you to ask for the images and talk about dates.

The problem

Tattoo enquiries are often made on impulse. If nobody answers, the idea goes to another studio.

18 or over, always

Tattooing under 18 is illegal in the UK, even with a parent's consent. Hello Anytime checks age and never books a minor.

Design details before you reply

Size, placement, style and references in one text, so you can quote and suggest a session length.

Day-before reminders and deposit nudges in your studio's name cut no-shows.

After the call

Get paid, and get the next job.

One tap on any job sends the right text in your business name. Replies come straight to you, and anyone can reply STOP. "On my way" and "ready" texts are live; scheduled reminders and quote chasing are switching on during the pilot.

Questions from tattoo businesses

Straight answers.

More in the main FAQ, or ask the chat.

What if someone calls worried about an infected tattoo?

Hello Anytime gives no medical advice. Signs of infection with fever or feeling unwell mean NHS 111 or a GP, and the call is flagged for you.

Can it take deposits?

No. It never takes card details. You send your usual deposit link when you reply.

Will it quote prices?

Only the "from" prices or hourly rate you add, and it always says the final price depends on the design.

Do I keep my number?

Yes. Customers keep ringing your usual number. You forward only the calls you miss to a Hello Anytime number we give you, which your customers never need to know.

When does Hello Anytime answer?

Your phone rings first. If you don't pick up within about 20 seconds, the call goes to Hello Anytime. On a mobile the divert code is **61*your Hello Anytime number**20#, and you can change the 20 to 5, 10, 15, 25 or 30 seconds. You can also send every call straight to Hello Anytime, for example at night, and switch it back with a short code.

What about a landline?

Mobiles use one short code. Landlines divert differently depending on your provider, and some (like BT) may charge for it. We'll help you set it up.
