Instagram DM templates for tattoo artists
Six DM templates for tattoo artists who want to fill their books with people who already like their style. Spintax keeps each message different, and every one is written to start a conversation about ideas, not prices.

Purple is a placeholder the extension fills in. Pink is spintax: one option is picked for each person. Replace anything in [square brackets] with your own details.

How tattoo artists get replies, not blocks.
- 01
Target your style, not tattoos in general
Followers of artists in your style and people posting your style's hashtags already want what you do.
- 02
Talk ideas first
Ask what they have been wanting to get. Pricing comes once there is a design to price.
- 03
Announce openings plainly
When books open, a short note with dates and how to request a slot is all it needs.
- 04
Respect people who are covered up
Some people collect from one artist. If they say they are loyal, thank them and move on.
Send these to hundreds of people who love your style. Without typing one.
IG Outreach Pro finds people who love your style by hashtag, by the followers of an account or from your own list, spins a different version of your template for each one, sends from your own account at the pace you set, and follows up until they answer.
- Free plan: 1 campaign, 10 DMs a day, no card
- Same spintax as these templates, so paste and go
- Test Mode, hourly caps and breaks built in
Five customers, on camera. Press play.
Questions
What is spintax?
Spintax is a way of writing several versions of a message at once. Options go inside curly braces separated by a pipe, like {Hey|Hi|Hello}, and one is picked at random for each person. Placeholders like {firstname} fill in the recipient's details. IG Outreach Pro uses exactly this syntax.
Can I use these templates without the extension?
Yes. Pick one option from each set of braces and replace the placeholders by hand. The extension just does that for you automatically, for every person on your list, and follows up on schedule.
Will sending DMs get my Instagram account banned?
Nobody can promise it won't, and automated DMs conflict with Instagram's terms. IG Outreach Pro gives you Test Mode, Safe Start warm-up, an hourly cap, scheduled breaks and automatic opt-outs so you can send carefully. Start slow and read the send log.
Are these templates free for tattoo artists?
Completely. Copy them, edit them, use them however you like. No signup.
