Among the tattoo studios we could measure in the results someone searching in Oak Creek, WI is shown, Trust Tattoo and Body Piercings answered the most of its recent reviews: 9 of its last 10. Serenity Ink also answered, replying to 1 of its last 10. We read 20 tattoo studios, and we can't see how the other studios we read handled their recent reviews, so nothing on this page says how common answering is among them.
The listings themselves carry real weight. The median tattoo studio we read holds 71.5 Google reviews across its whole history, with a median rating of 4.8 stars. The three most-reviewed studios we read carry 479, 296 and 211 reviews. Both named studios sit above that median: Trust Tattoo and Body Piercings has 479 reviews in total, and Serenity Ink has 211. A median rating of 4.8 tells you where the middle studio sits; it says nothing about how the rest are spread.
The reply figures and the review totals cover two different windows. The 9 of 10 at Trust Tattoo and Body Piercings is its last ten reviews only. The 479 is everything its listing has collected. The same split applies to Serenity Ink: 1 of its last 10 answered, on a listing of 211. Review totals and star ratings are built by customers. The reply column is the one figure on a listing the owner writes.
For context, the benchmark measured here is 66%: the share of recent reviews a typical measured business answered, taken across 44 businesses in all trades together, not tattoo studios alone.
What to do about it
Go to your Google listing and count your replies under your last 10 reviews. Every reply figure on this page is counted the same way. Trust Tattoo and Body Piercings answered 9 of 10, which shows the standard is reachable by a single studio in these results, and nothing about it depends on what any other studio does.
If your count is 0, start with the unanswered reviews among your last ten, then answer each new one as it arrives. Keep each reply short and specific to what the customer wrote about: the piece, the artist, the aftercare. You do not write the review, but you do write the reply. Once ten more reviews have come in, count again, and compare your figure with the 66% benchmark measured here rather than with a guess.
