HOW TO BOOK AN APPOINTMENT

(Appointment forms are at the bottom of the page, please read all the information below before submitting)

SCHEDULE

My schedule can fluctuate based on what my clients demand and on a first to make a deposit basis. Usually I will work no more than 5 days a week tattooing as I will be designing permanent artwork that will go on your body permanently. I need time to make a custom design. I WILL NOT TATTOO SOMEONE ELSE’S TATTOO. I can tweak or collage certain elements but the final piece cannot be an existing tattoo unless it is from a very close friend or relative.

Your appointment time will be confirmed through email only if you put down a deposit through Square. I DRAW THE NIGHT BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT SO PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR THE DESIGN BEFORE COMING TO YOUR APPOINTMENT. KEEP READING AND ALL YOUR QUESTIONS WILL BE ANSWERED...

DEPOSITS

All bookings require a deposit to secure them.  The minimum deposit amount is $150 and can be transferred via PAYPAL/VENMO or CASH in person.  I always hold the $150 portion of your deposit until your last session, and it will come off the total price of that day's session. Deposits are NON-REFUNDABLE, they are transferable if you need to reschedule ( YOU CANNOT RESCHEDULE WITHIN 24 HOURS), please remember this when booking an appointment.

CANCELLATIONS

There is a 24 hour cancellation period.  Any cancellations within that 48 hours prior to the appointment, the deposit will be withheld and you will need to pay ANOTHER DEPOSIT to re-book another appointment. Please note that 48 hours is the bare minimum amount of time to cancel. Advanced notice is much appreciated as it is much easier for me to schedule someone else in that time slot.

WHAT ARE YOUR RATES?

For 2021 and onward I will be booking by different flat rates. You can find these on my booking form below:

There are certain exceptions when tattoos CANT BE FINISHED. If the tattoo is not completed in the full day (i.e. larger work) and would not require another full 6 hours to finish I will charge $175/hour to complete the project.

Also, some pieces (smaller projects like hand / feet tattoos) may also not take the full day if you booked a full day you will have to pay for the full day session. half days and full session days have priority and will always be available on weekends.

***This is a case by case scenario***

In general be prepared to pay the full day rate. If for some reason you are personally unable to sit for the full 6 hours, and you booked a full day rate you will still be obligated to pay for the full day rate.

DESIGNS

It is not unusual for you to not see a design until the day of your appointment. Please be very clear with your design requests to prevent me from wasting my precious time with re-designs. If you are not so comfortable with this method another artist may be better suited to you.

CONSULTATION

Consultations in person generally aren't necessary anymore for most projects, unless I am working around odd spaces between other tattoos or if there’s a scar.  If that is the case, I ask that you send me an email to be sure that I am available and come in during the hours I inform you of. You do not need an appointment to have a consultation but I tattoo by appointment only and do not keep consistent business hours.

DO YOU TATTOO OVER SCARS? 

Yes I tattoo over some scars but I do require a consult in person to see what we’re able to achieve. This is important because without knowing the texture of the skin and density of the scar I am at a loss for how to design a piece to suit your body. However If your scarring is light and flat to the touch It may not require an in person consult.

DO YOU DO COVER UPS?    

I will typically only tattoo cover ups with previous laser lightening. This gives me more scope on creating a beautiful piece you actually want rather than being limited.  

CAN I BRING A FRIEND?  

Please do not bring more than two people for company THE SPACE IN MY WORK AREA IS TIGHT and I enjoy being able to focus on your permanent art. It is important that all the artists and clients are comfortable with enough space to work.

I will do my  best to respond to everyone, but please be patient with me. It may take me a while to sort through requests as I am working alone.  Please note that I can't take on every project, so I will be choosing what I feel is best suited for my work and art. I CAN REDIRECT YOU TO OTHER ARTIST AT MY OTHER TWO SHOPS.  I book and respond in the order in which the requests come in.

CREATIVE FREEDOM

I ask that my clients give me creative freedom with their ideas, (I.E. panther on my right forearm with berries)  So I can create the BEST TATTOO without limitations and restrictions.  I understand there are some things that you may really love to include or leave out, and these are always taken into consideration when choosing pieces I take on so if you would like a tattoo from me please include these specifics in your initial inquiry (I.E. I do not prefer XXX and I would like XXX) - that’s ok! This allows me to expand more and become more creative with each piece so they remain unique to you!

Please send me no more than 3  inspiration photos and a clear straight on picture of the area to be tattooed.

I will place the design’s elements how they fit best with the contour and body, this is something I won’t compromise on as the layout of the tattoo is vital to the end result looking like the work you expect. As you must have heard from your friends I put my all  into each design which is time consuming to create so please know that everything about your finished design is intentional.
