# OpenClaw Skill: Tattoo Studio Booking and Consultation Agent

## Overview

This skill turns the OpenClaw agent into the booking, consultation, and
compliance layer for a tattoo studio. It does not replace the shop manager
or the artists. It owns the high-volume DM and inquiry triage, the deposit
cadence, and the state and OSHA compliance log so the artists spend their
day on the chair.

It is designed for studios with 2 to 12 artists, a mix of fine-line,
traditional, geometric, blackwork, color-realism, and walk-in flash, with
booking on Tatts, Vagaro, Booksy, or Square Appointments.

## What this skill does

1. Triage Instagram DMs, website forms, walk-in messages by style and artist
2. Run the deposit collection cadence keyed to project size and artist policy
3. Schedule the 4-week healed-touch-up recall and 12-month aftercare check
4. Maintain the OSHA bloodborne pathogen and autoclave sterilization log
5. Track state body art compliance (CA AB 300, state cosmetology boards)
6. Flag contraindications on intake for artist sign-off before booking

```

## Workflow: inquiry triage

When DMs, web form submissions, or walk-in inquiries land, the agent:

1. Classifies the inquiry: style match for an artist, walk-in flash size,
   cover-up consult, referral-out (medical tattoo, areola restoration),
   tire-kicker (asking impossible scope for impossible price)
2. Checks the requested style against each artist's tagged specialties
3. Checks project size: palm-sized walk-in, small-medium, half-sleeve, full
   sleeve, back piece, leg sleeve, custom large-format
4. Drafts the response: consult booking link for the right artist, walk-in
   slot offer, referral message, or warm decline
5. Routes contraindication flags (isotretinoin, certain medications, keloid
   history at the requested site) to the artist for sign-off
6. Routes to the shop manager for approval (or autonomous on the allowlisted
   templates)

A representative 4-artist studio sees 50 to 200 inquiries per week. The
skill clears the routine ones in minutes and surfaces the 10 to 20 that need
an artist conversation.

## Workflow: deposit cadence

For consultations that progress to a booked appointment, the deposit cadence:

- Hour 48 after consult: initial deposit ask with the artist's policy text
  and the payment link
- Day 7: follow-up if no deposit, explaining the studio's hold-vs-deposit
  policy
- Day 21: final touch before the slot opens back up; the deposit window
  closes here

The cadence is editable per artist. A traditional artist who books 6 months
out runs a longer window than a fine-line artist booking 4 weeks out.

## Workflow: healed-touch-up recall

Every closed appointment auto-schedules:

- Day 28: "How is the heal looking?" outreach with optional touch-up slot
- Day 90: aftercare check with sunscreen and moisturizing reminder
- Day 365: anniversary outreach with a soft offer for the next piece

Touch-ups are usually free within 90 days for fully-healed-not-perfect, paid
after that. The skill routes the touch-up request to the artist who did the
original work.

## Workflow: compliance log

Weekly the agent compiles:

- Autoclave spore test result (typically weekly; some states require monthly)
- Sharps disposal log entries
- Annual OSHA bloodborne pathogen training status per artist
- State body-art board registration renewal dates (CA AB 300, NY DOH, FL DOH,
  state-by-state)
- Client consent form completion check per appointment
- Post-exposure incident log (should be zero; if not, immediate escalation)

The compliance log goes to the shop owner with the state inspection-ready
summary at the top. Renewals coming up within 60 days are flagged.

## Workflow: contraindication intake

The standard intake checklist runs every new client:

- Isotretinoin (Accutane) within last 6 months
- Active pregnancy or breastfeeding (for certain locations and ink types)
- Blood-thinning medication (warfarin, certain anticoagulants)
- Immunocompromised status
- Keloid history at the requested location
- Active skin condition at the site (eczema flare, psoriasis, recent sunburn)
- Recent vaccinations or surgeries within 4-6 weeks

A flagged intake routes to the artist for sign-off before the appointment is
confirmed. The skill is not a medical professional. The artist makes the
final call.

## Message templates

```yaml
templates:
  inquiry_style_match_consult:
    body: |
      Hey {client_first_name},

      Thanks for the DM. Based on what you sent, {artist_first_name}'s
      style is the right fit. {artist_first_name} books consults on
      {artist_consult_days}, you can grab one here: {consult_link}.

      The consult is free, about 20 minutes. Bring any reference you have.
      For a piece this size, the deposit after consult is {deposit_amount}
      and locks your appointment date.

      {studio_name}

  walk_in_flash_offer:
    body: |
      Hey {client_first_name},

      A piece that size is a walk-in for us, no deposit needed. We have
      slots Saturday {saturday_date} and Sunday {sunday_date} starting at
      10am. First-come on the day. Want me to put your name on the list?

      {studio_name}

  contraindication_isotretinoin:
    body: |
      Hey {client_first_name},

      Quick question on the intake: you mentioned you finished a course of
      isotretinoin (Accutane) {months_ago} months ago. Our policy waits
      6 months from the last dose before tattooing because the skin
      reaction is unpredictable until then. Standard across most studios.

      Want me to put you on the list for {wait_date} so we can pencil you
      in then? No deposit until we get closer.

      {studio_name}

  touch_up_4_week:
    body: |
      Hey {client_first_name},

      Quick check-in: it has been a month since {artist_first_name} did
      your {piece_description}. How is the heal looking? Any spots that
      need a touch-up?

      Touch-ups within 90 days of the original work are on the house. Just
      let us know.

| Email provider             | Inquiry replies and compliance summaries      | no   | yes   |

| OpenClaw Heartbeat         | Scheduled triggers                            | yes  | yes   |

Write-back to the booking platform starts disabled. Most studios flip writes
on after two weeks for low-risk fields (touch-up recall date tags, client
notes appends).

## Compliance notes

The skill is a recordkeeping and routing tool, not a medical or legal
professional. State body-art compliance (CA AB 300, NY DOH, FL DOH, others)
requires operator and practitioner registration, bloodborne pathogen
training, sterilization equipment standards, and consent forms that the
studio owner is responsible for. The skill keeps the operational log so an
inspection has clean records.

For OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030 bloodborne pathogen compliance, the studio owner
owns the exposure control plan; the skill maintains the running log.

For contraindications, the artist makes the final call. The skill is a
filter, not a clinician.

## Want it wired to your stack?

This SKILL.md is the starting point. If you want it plugged into your
specific booking platform, artist roster, state compliance posture, and
brand voice on a fixed-price two-week clock, with the founder writing every
line of the build, the door is at https://www.adhirajhangal.com/work

Install in 60 seconds

1. 1

   Drop the file into your OpenClaw skills directory

   Save the downloaded tattoo-parlors.md as ~/.claude/skills/tattoo-booking-and-consultation.md (or scope it per studio in your project-level .claude/skills/). OpenClaw picks up new skill files on next agent launch.

2. 2

   Wire in your booking platform and artist roster

   Edit the integrations block to point at your Tatts, Vagaro, Booksy, or Square Appointments instance. Load each artist's style tags, project size minimum, deposit policy, and booking lead time. Read access to the calendar and customer list is enough for the first two weeks.

3. 3

   Launch in approval mode, validate, then move to autonomous

   Start with the shop manager approving every consult outreach and every deposit reminder for the first two weeks. The skill defaults route any contraindication flag, any project over $1,500, and any new-artist booking to a human. After two weeks, the consult acknowledgement and the healed-touch-up recall templates flip to autonomous.
