Automated aftercare check-ins increase healed photo submissions by 40% and review rates by 2x. Here's how to set it up and why it matters for your studio.
Most tattoo studios lose contact with clients after they walk out the door. No follow-up, no healed photos, no reviews. Automated aftercare changes that by sending the right message at the right time — day 3, day 7, and day 14 after each session.
Studios using InkFlow's aftercare automation see 40% more healed photo submissions and 2x more reviews compared to manual follow-ups.
Sent immediately after the session. Includes washing instructions, product recommendations, and what to expect during healing. Clients appreciate having a clear reference.
A quick text asking how the healing is going. Clients can reply with questions. This catches potential issues early and shows you care.
Check in again. Ask if they need touch-up scheduling. Most clients forget to book touch-ups — this reminder alone increases return rates.
Ask for a healed photo. This is your most powerful marketing asset. Real healed work builds trust with potential clients.
Send a review request with a direct link to your Google Business Profile or Yelp. Happy clients at this stage are most likely to leave a positive review.
InkFlow's aftercare automation is included in the Pro plan. Set up your sequence once and it runs automatically after every appointment.
