Instagram DMs

Answers your DMs while you tattoo.

Someone asks “how much for a forearm tattoo?” at 11 at night. Within a minute coil answers from your Instagram with your booking link, so they send the placement, size and references and you quote it properly in the morning.

Only people asking to book. Friends and brand pitches get nothing.
If you're already talking with them, coil stays out of it.
Your account, your page, your work on the card. coil is never mentioned.

Tattoo by Brandon Henderson, the photo on the link card — The reply coil sends from Brandon Henderson's Instagram, with Brandon's best piece on the card and the booking page behind it.

Questions

The short answers.

Do you take a cut?

No. coil is one flat price a month. Your clients pay you straight to your Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, PayPal or cash, and coil takes nothing from deposits, tips or the final price. If you take cards, in most states your client can cover the card fee.

How long does it take to set up?

You see your page as soon as your photos are in, before you pay anything. Setting up deposits, hours and your booking form is a few steps, and a setup guide walks you through each one.

What happens if I leave my shop?

Everything stays with you: your web address, your work, every request, deposit, review and client record. yourname.coil.tattoo never changes.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. Every screen is built for a phone first, and coil emails you the moment a new request or a client's text comes in.

Piercers and permanent makeup?

Both run on coil. The booking form, consent form and aftercare switch to your kind of work, and each service can carry its own aftercare.

What if I need help?

Email hello@coil.tattoo or reply to any coil email. A real person answers the same day, usually within hours.
