Feeling Burnt Out? AI Could Be the PMU Assistant You Didn’t Know You Needed

If you’re a PMU artist juggling clients, DMs, supplies, classes, content creation, and still trying to find time to breathe… this one's for you. Burnout is real but what if there was a smarter way to manage your business that doesn’t involve hiring a full team?

On Episode #105 of the Tatter-a-Fact Podcast, Teryn sits down with the brilliant Leann La of Fusion Artistry, who shares how AI tools (especially her BFF “Gigi”—aka ChatGPT) have helped her reclaim her time, simplify marketing, attract better clients, and show up online consistently without the stress.

You Don’t Need a Marketing Degree—You Just Need Gigi

Leann and Teryn lovingly refer to ChatGPT as “Gigi”—because the name might be techy, but the vibe is bestie who always knows what to say. And if you're like most PMU artists juggling clients, classes, DMs, and maybe a toddler on your hip, you don’t have time to stress over captions or crafting the perfect Reel idea. Gigi’s got you.

Leann shares how she uses AI to:

• Plan 2 weeks of Instagram content in 30 minutes or less

• Write customized captions packed with SEO-friendly keywords

• Speak directly to her ideal client’s pain points

• Maintain her authentic voice—even when Gigi drafts first

• Free up creative brainpower so she can focus on tattooing and teaching

💡 Bonus Tip from Leann: You can even train Gigi to understand your business tone, services, and values—so it starts sounding more like you with every interaction.

“But I Don’t Want My Content to Sound Like a Robot…”

Neither do we! And guess what? It doesn’t have to. AI should be your starting point, not your final draft. Teryn opens up about how she once worried AI would dull her authentic writing voice. Spoiler: it didn’t. It actually helped her become more efficient—especially when writing marketing emails, brainstorming podcast topics, or mapping out a product launch.

Pro Tip from Teryn: Use ChatGPT to organize ideas, generate hooks, and structure your message—but always go in and make it YOU.

Use AI to Attract Better Clients and Build Your Brand

Most PMU artists aren’t struggling with talent—they’re struggling with visibility and messaging. Whether you’re still building your clientele or you're ready to start teaching, AI can help you:

• Define and refine your brand voice

• Identify your target audience’s pain points

• Write bios, website copy, service descriptions, and ad campaigns

• Create voiceover scripts for Reels (no need to show your face!)

📣 Newer artist? Use ChatGPT to find the words your dream clients need to hear.

📣 Teaching artist? Use AI to map out an entire online course—in the right order, with real value.

A Tool—Not a Crutch

We all know someone who’s gone a little too heavy on the AI… it shows. One of the biggest takeaways from the episode? Don’t just copy/paste. That’s the fastest way to disconnect from your audience.

Teryn and Leann agree: keep it personal, keep it real, and keep it ethical—especially when it comes to before/after photos. Never use AI to “enhance” healed results or edit your work. Clients are getting smarter and they want real, unfiltered results.

FAQ: Using AI in Your PMU Business

Q: Is ChatGPT free?
A: Yes, there’s a free version that’s super powerful. There’s also a paid “Pro” version if you want access to advanced features like custom instructions and image generation.

Q: Will using AI make my content inauthentic?
A: Only if you let it! The magic is in combining AI’s structure with your unique voice. Think of it as a co-writer, not a ghostwriter.

Q: Can AI help with SEO?
A: Yes! AI can help you write keyword-rich captions, blog posts, YouTube descriptions, and more—all optimized for Google search and Instagram’s algorithm.

Q: Should I use AI-generated images to show my PMU work?
A: No. Avoid using AI for before/after photos or examples of your work. That’s misleading and can break client trust.

Q: What’s one quick thing I can automate today?
A: Start with your Instagram captions. Use ChatGPT to create 7 days of keyword-rich captions in under 10 minutes.

Final Thoughts

AI isn’t the enemy—it’s the assistant you didn’t know you needed. Whether you're trying to fill your books, build a brand, or launch your first course, this technology can save you time, stress, and creative burnout.
