Gosh, Callie Tattoo Inquiry

Gosh, Callie * Tattoo Inquiry Form

Thanks for inquiring about my work! Please read through the entire form below and take your time in answering each element.
My tattoo studio is called Hey You which is operated with two other artists. We are a queer-owned and run studio that prioritizes safety, consent, and care.
About Me:

I’m Callie Little, a licensed, self and community-taught tattoo artist working out of a private Ballard, Seattle studio since January 2022.
Please be aware that you are required to be fully vaccinated to come to the Hey You studio. We are home to immunocompromised artists and cannot allow unvaccinated clients at this time.

Additionally, due to the pandemic, we cannot accommodate extra guests (non-clients) to accompany you to your session. While we understand this may be a disappointment or inconvenience, it is purely out of safety for our artists and in consideration of us and our clients as a whole! We appreciate you understanding this requirement. We also require that all clients wear a quality mask and self-test for COVID within 24 hours before the appointment time to help reduce infection rates.
I CONFIRM THAT I AM FULLY VACCINATED AND THAT I MUST WEAR A QUALITY MASK + CANNOT BRING A GUEST WITH ME TO THE TATTOO SESSION. Please initial here:

We occasionally have a small dog in our studio. If you would prefer no dog to be present for your tattoo, please simply let me know ahead of our session! This is in no way a burden and we are happy to oblige.

The Tattoo

Let’s talk about what you’re hoping to get at your appointment! Please note that generally, flash will be prioritized and custom requests may or may not be accepted depending on whether or not I feel they align with my skill set.
Deposits

If I accept your proposal, you will be given the opportunity to choose a session from my calendar. Upon choosing your slot, you will need to send a non-refundable $100 deposit to @goshcallie on Venmo.

Flash pieces may apply 100% of the deposit toward the total cost of the tattoo.

Custom designs require an additional $50 deposit as a drawing fee. In case of edits or re-draws, additional fees may apply.

If you need to reschedule your appointment with me, your deposit may be moved as long as I have more than 7 days notice. Reschedules made within 7 days of your appointment require a new $100 deposit. ❤️ NO EXCEPTIONS ❤️
Payment

As of January 2023, I accept *CASH ONLY* at your appointment. Please bring this with you as we do not have an ATM nearby. Upon accepting your proposal, I will request a deposit via Venmo or PayPal, but otherwise you must bring payment in cash.
Please confirm you understand: What payment form do I accept?*

Cash only, after deposit
Pricing

Please read this carefully.

I use a sliding scale pricing system and generally work within the budget you provide in your inquiry form. I will typically offer you a range of pricing at the end of your tattoo session. Please feel free to let me know your preferred budget as well as your maximum.

My sliding scale breaks down as follows:

Tier 1 is reserved for those with very little expendable income.

Tier 2 is for those who don't have a necessarily large income but can afford small luxuries such as eating out twice each week.

Tier 3 is for those who are financially stable and expendable income.

I ask that higher earners add additional compensation as makes sense for their level of income. As a disabled artist, those who are able to pay more are an enormous blessing in my life.

Please be aware that my minimum for any project is $250, and that would be for flash that takes under an hour.

My minimum for custom pieces is $275 for very minimal detail. *Most* customs from me fall within a $400-800 range.

In general, smaller pieces (up to 3"x3") containing very minimal detail will fall in the $250-350 range.

For more medium-sized pieces (4"-6") with mid level details, pricing would likely range from $400-850.

For large pieces (7"-10") with high levels of detail, pricing would likely be in the $600-1,200 range but can go higher depending on the complexity of the project.

*** Clients with considerable income are encouraged to pay more than quoted on this page.
Are you looking for a flash design (AKA something that exists in my pre-designed portfolio) or a custom project? Please note that all flash is repeatable unless otherwise stated, though some designs may retire.*

FlashCustom
Describe *in detail* the design you’re requesting. Please be aware I do NOT accept requests for artwork other than my own, and this includes artwork clients have created themselves, logos, drawings by friends, or work based on franchises.*
Please confirm that you understand I will not tattoo art by anyone other than myself, including logos, franchises, and art created by clients. This includes requests for work "strongly based on/inspired by" art by others, without exception.*

I understand Callie does not tattoo art by anyone else, whatsoever, and my request is for an original piece of art by her.
What size are you thinking *in inches*? Keep in mind I do not do any work smalled than 2". (Please actually measure— most people are surprised when they see what two inches, eight inches, etc. really look like) *
Where on your body are you thinking for placement? (multiple options are okay and we can move location day-of) Please be aware I am not tattooing ribs (including on the back) at this time and some tricky placements such as neck and hands are reserved for return clients*
If you’re proposing a custom concept: are you interested in having me create a unique design *based* on your proposal, or are you set on a very particular vision? (If you’re requesting flash, type “NA”)*
What is your budget for this piece? Please be honest about the range that works for you, while maintaining awareness that my minimum for very minimal flash is $250 and my minimum for very minimal custom work is $275*
Any reference images? Remember I DO NOT reproduce other artists' work and will only tattoo original art created by my own hand. Requests that go against this term will not be responded to.

Anything else I haven’t asked about here?

Thank you!

I so appreciate you taking the time to reach out and inquire about receiving a tattoo from me. I try to respond to as many inquiries as possible, though this may take a matter of weeks, so please be patient as I sort through email and other work. I’ll let you know how we can move forward or, in the case that I’m not the right artist, may try to provide references to other artists I think might be better suited. I really appreciate your interest in my work!
