Describe the concept of your tattoo as clearly as possible. Forward any photography you would like to include and any reference materials that may inform the design. Describe the location on your body where you would like the tattoo. If you have other work near the location, include a photo of the existing tattoo work in that area.

We will reply to your email as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience.

The Design:

This cannot be emphasized enough: The design process is as important as the tattoo process. The quality of the design and how it fits on your body is as important as the technical process of placing ink in your skin.

During your first appointment, we will design your tattoo in-person in a collaborative manner. This process can take as little as an hour or as much as a full day; depending on the scale, location, and scope of the project. The complexity of the design will dictate whether your tattoo can be completed on the same day or whether a second or multiple sessions need to be scheduled.

A security deposit and proximity waiver are required in advance to respect the artists’ time and workflow.

& Scheduling:

Deposits & Payments:

A deposit of $200 is required to book your appointment. Your deposit reserves your place in the queue and will be applied to your final appointment. Deposits are non-refundable. If you are unable to make your appointment, please let us know a week in advance and we will reschedule your session.
