Request a Consultation
Start by requesting a consultation. Once your request is submitted, the artist will determine whether an in-person consultation is necessary. Consultations are always complimentary, typically take only 15-20 minutes, and provide both the client and the artist with an opportunity to discuss the tattoo design, ensuring that the final result meets your expectations. During a tattoo consultation, the artist will take the time to understand your vision and ideas.
It’s always best to meet in person, but consultations can also be done through Zoom or FaceTime.
How to Prepare
Bring all your ideas and reference images. Gather any photographs, drawings, and examples that can help your artist understand your vision. Do not limit yourself to images of other tattoos.
Have a budget in mind. The shop minimum is $80, but larger projects are charged by the hour. Your artist will work with you to design a piece within your budget.
Write any questions you may have, including health and safety concerns. This is the perfect opportunity for you to interview your artist as well. You should always feel comfortable with the person and environment when you are getting your tattoo.
Be prepared to pay a deposit. Deposit fees vary from $50-100 and go towards your final payment on the day of your appointment.
