PLEASE READ BELOW

PLEASE BE SURE TO READ ALL INFORMATION PROVIDED TO ENSURE A PROMPT RESPONSE TO YOUR REQUEST.
ONCE I REVIEW YOUR REQUEST I WILL REACH OUT TO DISCUSS FURTHER. LARGER PROJECTS THAT FIT WITHIN MY PREFERRED STYLES OF TATTOOING WILL TAKE PRIORITY FOR AVAILABILITY. 

In order to book your appointment promptly there are a few things I need from you.

PLEASE INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING IN YOUR APPOINTMENT INQUIRY.

• A full description of what you would like to get. Meaning I would like to know the subject of what you want your tattoo to be in the best way you can describe it. It is not necessary to give me the sentiment as I just need to be able to figure out the art not the story. 

• Reference photos. Do some searching and send me anything that you think I may need to see. I WILL NOT TATTOO SOMEONE ELSES ARTWORK AND WILL NOT RECREATE AN EXISTING TATTOO FROM THE INTERNET. 

• Where on your body is the tattoo going? Please be specific. Depending on the design, a clear straight photo of the area may be necessary. Not all people are built the same and I like to draw to fit the flow and shape of the body part it is going on. 

• How big do you want the tattoo? Just so you know “medium sized” or “like not that big” is not exactly a sufficient description of size. Depending on the tattoo you could give me an idea in inches or for larger pieces say “full sleeve” or something to that nature. You could also take a photo of the spot you want it and mark it accordingly. 

• Is this tattoo going around something existing in the area or going to be a cover up? If it is a cover up then it may be necessary to have a consultation in person to see the state of the existing tattoo and discuss further options. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT NOT ALL COVER UPS ARE NECESSARILY POSSIBLE AND THEY ARE SOMETIMES VERY DIFFICULT. 

• What style are you looking to do this tattoo? Black and grey, color, traditional, Japanese, photo realistic, etc. If you are not sure how to describe the style please include example photos of things you like so I can get a better idea of what you are thinking. 

• PORTRAIT TATTOOS ARE VERY TRICKY AND NOT ALWAYS GOING TO BE APPROVED. I will not take on anything that I don’t think I can handle. If you want a portrait, the reference must be as large as possible and very clear because the accuracy of the tattoo depends on the reference I am given. 

• What is your availability? What days of the week and times in the day work best for you. Keep in mind I am in the shop Wednesday-Sunday 10am-5pm.

DEPOSIT/CHARGING INFO

• A $100 NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT IS REQUIRED FOR ALL APPOINTMENTS BOOKED. This will secure your spot in my book and carry over to multiple appointments until the tattoo is complete and will come off the total at the end. 

• 48 HOURS NOTICE REQUIRED FOR CANCELLATION OF AN APPOINTMENT. Contact me directly if you need to reschedule and we will discuss further. 

• IF YOU NO-SHOW FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT YOU WILL FORFEIT YOUR DEPOSIT AND ALL FOLLOWING APPOINTMENTS. TO RESCHEDULE AFTER A NO-SHOW YOU MUST PAY FOR THE FULL SESSION YOU ARE BOOKING FOR AS A NEW DEPOSIT. 

• I charge $150 PER HOUR. I DO NOT CHARGE FOR THE TIME I SPEND DRAWING - JUST FOR TIME SPENT TATTOOING. Not all pieces can be charged an hourly rate due to the size and time it takes for smaller or more simple pieces to be completed, and those will be priced accordingly. 

• $100 MINIMUM 

• PORTRAITS and ANIME tattoos require a minimum 4 hour appointment and 1 follow up appointment. 

OTHER IMPORTANT INFO

• Drawings will be done the night before your appointment. My work and home life are very demanding and it’s just not in the cards for me to have anything ready early. You will see the artwork at the time of the appointment and if changes need to be made and I have time, I will make them then and there. This is why it is important to give me all the necessary reference and information needed to draw your tattoo accurately and have it ready for tattoo time. 

• Valid ID is REQUIRED to be tattooed. 

• ONLY YOU can book an appointment for YOURSELF. I need to discuss all appointment details directly with the person getting tattooed.

Thank you so much for your interest in my work and taking the time to read through all of this. Please feel free to contact me through here about your booking inquiry. 

As you may know I am very busy so please be patient in waiting for a response. I will get back to you as soon as I can.
