SCRIPT 01

The Deposit Ask

I've reviewed your idea and we can move ahead with [project]. To hold the time we discussed, the deposit is [amount], applied to your session price. Terms: [policy link]. Secure payment: [link]. I'll confirm once the deposit and required confirmation steps are complete.

What it covers — project review, deposit terms, and the steps before confirmation.

SCRIPT 02

The Fence-Sitter

No pressure at all — I just hold dates for deposited clients, so this slot opens back up [Friday]. Want me to keep it for you? The deposit link's here whenever you're ready: [link]

What it covers — a payment link and a clear deadline for the selected time.

SCRIPT 03

The 48-Hour Reminder

Hey [name]! You're booked with me [Sat] at [2pm]. Come fed, hydrated, and in comfy clothes. Reply YES so I know we're good — if plans changed, just let me know 24h ahead and we'll sort it 🙌

What it covers — appointment details and a way to raise a change before the session.

SCRIPT 04

The Reschedule Pivot

Thanks for letting me know, [name]. Under our agreed policy, [explain what happens to the deposit]. I can offer [selected times] for your project. Tell me which works and I'll send the next steps to confirm the new date.

What it covers — your actual deposit policy and artist-picked alternatives.

Before

Review the project and explain the deposit and confirmation steps.

Remind

Share the appointment details and how to request a change.

Follow up

Apply your agreed policy and make the next step clear. Deposits do not eliminate no-shows.

Scripts fix the words. But if you're still chasing deposits by hand across Instagram, WhatsApp, and email — the leak comes back the moment you get busy. That's the part software should do for you. Read the workflow to reduce tattoo no-shows, from deposit rules to reminders and cancellation follow-up.

Keep the next step with the appointment. Meet Affichr.

Booking requests, artist review, deposits, and reminders in one tattoo workflow. You choose the times and set the booking rules.
