Tattoo studios · Social media
Post the work, the artist and the healed result so a follower becomes a booking.
Social media marketing for a tattoo studio is the use of Instagram and short video to show each artist's style, the studio's hygiene and the healed result. GullySales works on what to post, how artist and studio accounts share the load, and where each post sends a viewer.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
What social media means
Social media is the ongoing posting your business does on platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn to stay visible to customers and prospects between purchases. GullySales plans a posting calendar, writes captions and designs the images so the page looks active and answers what a visitor would ask.

For tattoo studios
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Fresh photographs flatter and healed ones convince”
A tattoo photographed minutes after the session is sharp and a little red. The buyer who knows tattoos wants to see it healed. A post pairing fresh and healed work of one piece earns more trust than a feed of new work alone.
“The feed shows tattoos and hides the person who will do yours”
Followers choose an artist, then the studio. If the feed is a mix of work without names, a viewer cannot tell whose style they like. Tagging the artist and naming the style on each post helps them choose.
“Reels attract views and few consults”
A satisfying time-lapse draws viewers from anywhere, a share of them outside your city and uninterested in a booking. Posts need a line that names the city, the style and how to book, or the views never reach the diary.
“A post gives no answer to the safety question”
People who are nervous watch for signs of care: new needles opened, gloves changed, stations wiped. A short video of that routine does more for a hesitant viewer than another design shot.
What we do
What we deliver for tattoo studios.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A content plan by artist and style
A set of post types for each artist: fresh work, healed work, flash and process, scheduled so no style goes silent.
Result: Every artist has a visible run of work.
Fresh and healed pairs
A repeatable post showing the same piece at the session and when healed, with the client's consent noted.
Result: Followers see how the line settles.
A hygiene clip for the profile
A short video of setting up a station with new needles, gloves and wipes, kept as a pinned post.
Result: A hesitant viewer sees the routine before asking.
A shared tag and booking link
One studio tag and one booking link used by every artist account and post.
Result: Enquiries from any artist's post reach the studio.
A reply set for comments and messages
Short, ready replies for price questions, placement questions and requests for tiny designs.
Result: The inbox is answered in the studio's voice.

How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Your brief
You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.
After the brief
A conversation and a written scope
We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.
As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
At renewal
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.
How the social media work runs

A plan is created, balancing genuine value with occasional direct offers.

Why us
Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.
Marketing and sales, as one job
Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.
The person on the first call does the work
No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.
A baseline before anything starts
Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.
The fee in writing, split three ways
Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.
No guarantees we cannot keep
The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.
One office, and we say so
Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.
