Thank you so much for your interest in booking a tattoo! If it's your first time booking, I'm including this little blurb up top in hopes of demystifying this process as much as possible :~) For those of you who have booked before: I know the form looks different but don't worry! The form itself is still very much here, just scroll to the bottom and fill it on out.
A bit about me.... my name is Laura, I'm originally from Dallas, Texas :D I've lived in New England for the last 12 years, and have been tattooing for the last 5 years. I offer handpoked tattoos, meaning I do not use a machine and poke every tattoo by hand using a standard sterile needle. My portfolio of work both fresh and healed can currently be found via my instagram, I recommend perusing it to get a sense before reaching out!
Flash:
If you're interested in booking one/more of my available flash pieces, you can find those on my instagram in the highlight titled "flash," and in this google drive folder. I will typically do flash pieces a handful of times before retiring them-- you're welcome to request a custom variation of something you can't find / I've already retired!
Customs:
Before submitting a custom proposal, I ask that you review my tattoo portfolio--if what you're after is starkly different from my tattoo style, there is a chance I won't take it on, in which case I do my best to point folks in the direction of other local artists who may be a better fit. Otherwise be sure to include multiple reference photos and details regarding what elements you are looking for; this makes for a great experience for all parties!
About the studio:
- I work at Angels Collective, a cooperatively run tattoo studio located at 226 Broadway, Providence, RI 02903 (it's the red door just to the left of The Nitro Bar / Dash Bicycle in Federal Hill). Parking is widely available imo, but the studio is also a short jaunt from the train station downtown.
- You will need a government issued photo ID for our consent form so be sure to bring one with you!
- The studio is only accessible by stairs :// So please plan accordingly
- My room is very ~cozy~ meaning you are welcome to bring ONE (1) guest to the session, so long as you're prepared to squeeze:)
- Our studio no longer requires mask usage during sessions, but we highly recommend usage if you have recently been sick + in contact with someone sick. Masks will be provided if need be.
Pricing:
- I require a $100 deposit to confirm / hold our appointment (this may increase based on the size/scope of the session). Be prepared to send this once you receive my reply to your form that lists the date and time. This deposit goes toward the final cost of the session, so you will subtract the amount you deposited from the total the day of :,)
- I price on an hourly rate of $150. For custom tattoos there is a $75 flat additional fee for rendering the custom design added to the total cost.
- Keep in mind that if you are interested in multiple flash pieces (3+ pieces not including small repeatable flash) / a larger scale piece, I ask that you plan to come in for either a full day session or multiple sessions.
Cancelling / Rescheduling:
- If you need to cancel our session for any reason, you must let me know within 48 hours of our appointment time for your deposit to carry over to a new date.
- Please plan to be available to reschedule within 1 month of our original appointment; otherwise I will ask that you submit a new booking form and deposit if and when you want to book a session again :-)
- Please don't show up to our session if you are experiencing viral symptoms! We can plan to meet at another date no sweat <3
- Deposits are not refundable!
That's all for now, feel free to reach out if you have any more questions :~)
