Tattoo Calendar Automation: 10‑Minute Setup That Works All Month

Want to reclaim hours without missing a lead? Here’s how I set up tattoo calendar automation in under ten minutes—and then spend the month tattooing while bookings run on autopilot.

🛠️ How My First 10 Minutes Look

Plug in Google or iCloud calendar to avoid double bookings.
Draft default auto-reply with tone: “Hey legend, thanks for reaching out… grab an open slot here.”
Set deposit amount and choose Apple/Google Pay checkout.
Schedule automatic reminders at 48 h and 24 h.
Insert clear cancellation and reschedule policies into confirmation screen.

With LucentDesk, these take ten minutes and zero coding.

Why This Setup Works

Instant lead response avoids inbox ghosting.
Smart booking link replaces endless DM threads.
Deposit & policy upfront reduce no-shows and confusion.
Live calendar blocking keeps your working hours sacred.
