Mending Moon Tattoo Booking

General Info

Mending Moon is a queer-owned, fully licensed, private tattoo studio, open by appointment only. I aim to provide an energetically conscious approach to tattooing that is unique and deeply personal. Energy that naturally flows between me and you is positively manifested through the process of tattoo. With this in mind, I create original designs intended for the body, incorporating imagery from dreams, nature, and organic energies. In additions to custom creations, I regularly release pre-drawn "flash" designs in my Instagram highlights, in the hopes that they find their person. I also offer energy read sessions, where the design is brought forth through a grounding and centering process of asking your body and spirit what they need from the tattoo. For more information on this kind of session please refer to my offerings on my website.

My style is organic, nature inspired, and free flowing. I predominantly tattoo organic depictions of fauna and flora, their interactions and relations to us. I rarely tattoo subject matter outside of those elements. If you have a design in mind, I'm happy to consider it, but please know that I may not feel called to do it, and I will honor that truth.

Pricing

I charge $80-$150 per hour. I use a sliding scale to keep my tattoo practice accessible to all who seek it out. If you are unemployed, low income, or facing financial insecurity please pay at the lower end of the scale. If you enjoy a more comfortable, financially secure reality, please pay at the higher end of the scale. This allows me to keep my practice open to everyone. You don't need to disclose your financial details to me. I leave it up to you to be honest when determining how much you sould pay. If you choose a custom tattoo, there is an additional $60 (non-refundable) drawing deposit required to compensate me for my time designing and drawing something to your specifications. If you choose an enregy read tattoo, there is an additional $50 (non-refundable) cost to compensate me for the energetic service. 

I prefer to tattoo one person per day, but if you are very set on getting tattooed as a group (max of 4) I will do so with a group fee of $25 per person.

I offer payment plans for anyone who needs one. If you want more details on this you can send me a message. If you would like to do a payment plan please talk to me about it before our session or specify below.

Cash is preferred, but I accept Venmo and PayPal if need be. Please come prepared, as payment is due at the time of your apointment. If you'd like a price estimate ahead of time, please ask!

Thank you!

Deposit

I charge a non-refundable $30 deposit to reserve a tattoo date. This deposit comes off of the final cost of the tattoo. If you need to reschedule, the deposit is transferable, as long as I'm given at least 4 days of notice from your scheduled appointment time. If rescheduled with less than 4 days of notice, another deposit will be required. 

Studio Info

My studio is located in Blue Hill, Maine, in the center of town. It's small, quiet and private. It's a cozy and inviting space that I try to make as comfortable as possible. 

*Accessability* My studio is on the ground floor. Please be aware as you come through the door that the threshold is a 3" rise. The parking is tbd, and other cars may be directly in front of the entrance. I will give you parking specifications on the day of your appointment. Parking will always be within a 1-2 minute walk. If you have accessability needs, please specify. 

In preparation for your tattoo...

Please arrive for your tattoo well rested, hydrated, and fed. It's important to eat and drink water before embarking on a tattoo.

For best results, and to prime yourself for this experience, keep your body well hydrated for the week preceeding your session. The night before, get a good night's rest, and do not drink any alcohol (this affects the tattoo significantly, even the next day). On the day of, eat a full meal before you head over.
