HOW TO BOOK AN APPOINTMENT
(Appointment forms are at the bottom of the page, please read all the information below before submitting)
SCHEDULE
Our schedule can fluctuate based on what our clients demand and on a first to make a deposit basis. We will not tattoo someone else’s tattoo. We 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. KEEP READING AND ALL YOUR QUESTIONS WILL BE ANSWERED...
DEPOSITS
All bookings require a deposit to secure them. All of our artist are independent contractors and rent their space to work. Their deposit amounts differ. Usually they are between $50 - $200 and they all go towards the final price of your tattoo. Deposits are NON-REFUNDABLE, they are transferable if you need to reschedule, please remember this when booking an appointment.
MY SHOP IS CASH ONLY, So please come prepared! There are multiple ATM’s in the area.
CANCELLATIONS
There is a 48 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.
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, the artist will ask that you send me an email to be sure that he/she is available and come in during the hours he/she informs you of. You do not need an appointment to have a consultation but we tattoo by appointment only.
DO YOU TATTOO OVER SCARS?
Yes we tattoo over some scars but we 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 we are at a loss for how to design a piece to suit your body. However ff your scarring is light and flat to the touch It may not require an in person consult.
DO YOU DO COVER UPS?
We will typically only tattoo cover ups with previous laser lightening. This gives us 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 as this is a small studio and we 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.
CREATIVE FREEDOM
We ask that our clients give our artist creative freedom with their ideas, (I.E. panther on my right forearm with berries) So we can create the BEST TATTOO without limitations and restrictions. We 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 we take on so if you would like a tattoo from us 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 us to expand more and become more creative with each piece so they remain unique to you!
Please send me us no more than 3 inspiration photos and a clear straight on picture of the area to be tattooed.
The artist you have chosen will place the design’s elements how they fit best with the contour and body, this is something we 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 our artist put all into each design which is time consuming to create so please know that everything about your finished design is intentional.
