What is an Instagram auto reply for tattoo studios?
An Instagram auto reply for tattoo studios is a saved message that answers the DMs that repeat all week, "how much would this cost?", "is [ARTIST] taking bookings?", "do you do walk-ins?", without you stopping work to type. Basic auto-replies are fixed text you send in one tap. An AI auto reply reads the message, answers with your real prices and openings at any hour, then moves the person to a booking.
