for Frankie Oakes @HardCoreFloral

Thanks so much for reaching out! I can't wait to hear your tattoo ideas!

This form goes over our the basic consultation questions to make sure I'm the right artist for your project. I go over the essential info, process, and then you get to give me all the details about your piece. 

ok, let's go!

Essential information

Availability:
I tattoo Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays from 10am-5pm.

Consultations are available on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Pricing:
Tattoos are priced by the piece for single sessions (anything less than 3 hours) and 175€ is my hourly rate for anything more than 3 hours.

**I currently have a 1 hour minimum.**

YES!:
I love botanical piecese of all sizes, but am super stoked to make 'em real big! I am love abstract and texture pieces, and love mixing up representational and abstract imagery. I also enjoy doing fonts, large blackouts, negative space, and funny things! I tend to make large, bold, and high contrast, contradictory tattoos, and occasionally silly tattoos.

I am happy to tattoo lettering from around the world, but only on those it directly relates to (ie. I will only tattoo Chinese characters on Chinese people/Chinese Americans. Or Hindi on Indian people, etc.)

Not so much:
Geometric tattoos, traditional style, fineline/very small, or watercolor style. There are so many good tattooers who do these styles!

 

My Creative Process:

My process begins with this intake form to make sure I'm the right fit for the project. If I am able to glean all the necessary info from it, I will have you call the shop directly to schedule and have a design ready for you at your appointment. This usually applies to smaller projects.

For larger projects, I may send you a link for a zoom consultation. This is aimed more for large pieces, abstract pieces, or covereups. 

I do not email drawings/sketches at any point in the process. I will have your design ready for you at your appointment. This will be a basic outline and we will discuss shading in person. Depending on the design, I will sometimes have elements of it drawn, but size and place them to fit your body. Depending on the project, I will draw directly onto the body. This is also the time we have to look at the images I have made and make any modifications. I prefer this process in person so we can have a real time convo and get it just right! This also allows us to make sure it fits YOUR body and shape perfectly. 

Getting a tattoo is a big deal! And my process is not right for everyone. I strongly encourage you to go with your gut. If looking at my instagram makes your body feel calm and like you would be stoked to get the drawing I make from your idea, we're a match! If not being able to see the design beforehand doesn't feel right for you, that's ok! I encourage you to find an artist whose design process feels good for you.

*There is a $50 non-refundalbe deposit required to schedule your appointment. The deposit is deducted from the final cost of your tattoo. It is payable in cash at the shop, or via venmo. You may reschedule your appointment once with at least 48hours notice (a voicemail at the shop even during our closed hours count.) To reschedule a second time, I require another deposit.

*CASH ONLY on the day of your tattoo.

*All clients must wear a fitted mask (no bandanas, valve masks, neck gaiters, or masks that slip under your nostrils 

*We are allowing a minimum of clients into the shop at a time, so no guests are allowed. You can read more about our COVID-19 policies on our shop page. 

*Please note: do to the volume of inquiries, please be patient with my response time. I am a one woman show, solo parent, and do the majority of my emailing and consultations on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I do not check my email over the weekends. If you have a time sensitive question, please call Blue Ox Tattoo directly at 503.894.9411.

 

I can't wait to hear your cool ideas and make you wonderful tattoos! I'll be in touch asap!
