Keep tattooing.
Calls get answered.
An AI receptionist for tattoo studios answers the phone while artists work, books consultations and sessions, and collects reference photos by text. An artist halfway through a line cannot pick up, and a caller asking what a half sleeve costs wants an answer now. Voxgard answers in about 0.3 seconds, day and night. It explains how pricing works at your shop, whether that is a shop minimum, an hourly rate or a quote after consultation, using only what you loaded, and never makes up a number. It books consultations into each artist’s Google Calendar or Calendly. Callers can send reference images and placement photos by MMS, so the artist sees the idea before the consult. Walk-in and flash-day questions get your policy, and touch-up requests become messages. It speaks 32 languages, including Spanish, Japanese and Polish. From $249 a month, and the free five-day pilot runs on your real calls with no credit card.

VoxgardBlack Anchor Tattoo, how can I help?
CallerHow much would a forearm piece be? It’s a compass with some roses.
VoxgardCustom pieces are priced by the artist at a consultation, above our shop minimum. I can book a free consult with Rosa, who does a lot of floral work.
CallerSure. Can I send a picture?
VoxgardYes, text it to this number and the studio will have it before the consult. I have Wednesday at 5 or Friday at 1.
CallerFriday at 1. I’m Jess, 555-0177.
VoxgardBooked with Rosa for Friday at 1, Jess. Your confirmation is on its way. Send the photo anytime.
What it does
for you.
Photos before the consult
Two-way MMS on every plan lets clients send reference art and placement photos, so your artist sees the idea early.
Books by artist
Each artist’s calendar in Google Calendar or Calendly is checked for free time before a consult or session is booked.
No invented prices
It quotes only the minimums and rates you set, and says the artist will price the piece when it cannot.
It will not quote a firm price for a custom piece or take a deposit on the call; it books a consultation, collects the reference photos by text and leaves pricing to the artist.

Tattoo Studios:
questions and answers.
No. It does not take card payments on the call. It can explain how your shop collects deposits, from what you load.
Yes. MMS is on every plan at $0.15 per message, separate from call minutes.
It reads the aftercare notes you load. If a client describes a problem with a healing tattoo, it takes a message for the artist and gives no medical advice.
Yes. It answers day and night, books consults into open times and leaves a summary of every call for the morning.
It does the job of both: it answers your business calls, takes messages and books appointments. A virtual receptionist is usually a person working remotely, and an answering service usually takes messages. Voxgard is AI: it picks up in about 0.3 seconds, day and night, and books straight into your calendar.
