California Tattoo Inquiry Form

  • California Tattoo Inquiry Form

    Thank you for your interest in potentially getting a tattoo with me ♥︎

  • Submitting this form does NOT commit you to scheduling an appointment. This form is a way to speed up the inquiry process by allowing me to give you an accurate quote, answer any questions you may have, etc. 

    Can't wait to see your ideas! 

     

    Location: I will be working in Diamond Bar, CA 91765 during my work trip! Address will be sent 3 days prior to your appointment. 

     

  • Format: (000) 000-0000.

  • PLEASE BE SURE TO READ THROUGH MY POLICIES AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS FORM BEFORE SUBMITTING IT. THANK YOU!

  • PLEASE BE SURE TO READ THROUGH MY POLICIES AND FAQs ON MY WEBSITE BEFORE SUBMITTING THIS FORM. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

     *Policies are attached to the bottom of this form again for your reference but FAQs are only on my website. Click to read FAQs.

  • Tattoo Information:

    - My minimum for an appointment is $100. 
    - Pricing is subject to change and will increase based on design complexity, size, color, and placement. I typically charge per piece which accounts for designing, tattoo time, size, and materials. However, I recommend getting multiple tattoos for a bundle discount if you have a few in mind. One free touch up is included in the price! 
    - I do not tattoo feet, sides of fingers/hands (I only tattoo the tops), inside the mouth, palms, or private areas.
    - You must be 18 years old or older by your appointment.

    Please thoroughly read through the information down below concerning details I need regarding the tattoo(s) you're inquiring about in order to best streamline this inquiry process and to avoid your request from being overlooked.

    Please be very descriptive and detailed with what you want! For example:

    • Include accurate sizing in inches. If you don't know or are bad with sizing, it helps to look at a ruler or tape measure to better visualize. It's super important to inform me of an accurate sizing range.
    • If you want to add shading, let me know. Tell me where, what kind of shading, etc. Otherwise I will assume you're looking for just a fine outline tattoo.
    • If you'd like color, which color, where, etc.

    I cannot stress this enough but please try your best to be very detailed! The more detailed the better to minimize back and forth and so I can immediately determine if I am able to take on your project. Sadly, I cannot accept all custom requests and will be priortizing what best aligns with my style.

    Please note, I do not design tattoos unless you are officially booked for an appointment with me. I do choose to allow my clients to see the design before the appointment, however, the design gets sent no earlier than the evening prior to the appointment to ensure my time is respected and my art doesn't get stolen. Some more details can be found in the policy section at the bottom of the page.

    Unfortunately since my availability is very limited, returning clients and designs that align better with my style will be prioritized.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to read through the requirements and I appreciate your cooperation in order to make this process easy-going and enjoyable!

     

  • Touch Up Policy

    If you got tattooed by me after August 2024, I will honor your first free touch up, due to my sudden move this past year. However, a $25 deposit will be required to book a touch up appointment. If you show up to your appointment as scheduled, the deposit will be refunded but if you last minute cancel/reschedule or no-show me, then your deposit will be forfeited as well as your free touch up.

    If you got tattooed by me prior to August 2024, your first free touch up is no longer available. There is a $25 touch up fee. A full deposit is required to book a touch up appointment. If you cancel/reschedule last minute or no-show me, your deposit will be forfeited.

  • Please thoroughly read through the information down below concerning details I need regarding the tattoo(s) you're inquiring about in order to best streamline this inquiry process.

    Restrictions: I do NOT tattoo feet, private areas, palms, inside the mouth, and the sides of fingers/hands (I only tattoo on top of the fingers/hands). I also do not tattoo minors, regardless of parent consent. It's against California law to tattoo anyone under the age of 18. You must be 18 years old by the time of your appointment. 

    Please be very descriptive and detailed with what you want! For example:

    • Include accurate sizing in inches. If you don't know or are bad with sizing, it helps to look at a ruler or tape measure to better visualize. It's super important to inform me of an accurate sizing range.
    • If you want to add shading, let me know. Tell me where, what kind of shading, etc. Otherwise I will assume you're looking for just a fine outline tattoo.
    • If you'd like color, which color, where, etc. 
    • If you want to make some minor changes to flash designs, please let me know.
    • Send me reference pictures that closely resemble what you would like. If you're wanting the design exactly like the reference picture, please inform me of that.
       

    Being descriptive as possible will minimize back and forth and allows me to give you an accurate quote. Most importantly, it will also help me determine if the tattoo aligns with my style. And lastly, if your tattoo request is accepted being descriptive allows me to allocate the appropriate time for tattooing and will help me immensely when drawing the design (if designing is required). Please note, I do not design tattoos unless you are officially booked for an appointment with me. I do choose to allow my clients to see the design before the appointment, however, the design gets sent no earlier than the evening before the appointment (more details in the policy section at the bottom of the page!!).

    Unfortuantely since my availability is very limited, returning clients and designs that align better with my style will be prioritized. 

    Thank you so much for taking the time to read through the requirements and I appreciate your cooperation in order to make this process easy-going and enjoyable!

      Reschedule, Cancelation, Late, and No Show Policy

      Due to other scheduling commitments, it may be necessary to cancel your appointment if you are more than 10 mins late. If you are late resulting in a cancellation, you will lose your deposit and a new one will be required to book again. There may be a possibility for a reduced time instead but you will still be charged for the original service amount.

      I understand things come up but if need be please try your best to cancel/reschedule your appointment 48 hours in advance. Your deposit can be transferred to a later date/time if you do so accordingly but please keep in mind that you must email me ahead of time in order to have your appointment officially canceled/rescheduled prior to the 48 hour deadline. Failure to do so will result in losing your deposit and a new one will be required to book again. Please keep in mind that reschedules will be based on current availability and you are allowed up to 1 reschedule with the same deposit before a new one is required.

      Please keep in mind that reschedules may NOT be guaranteed because I don't live in California anymore so my availability is super limited.

      If you no show me you are not allowed to book with me again and you lose your deposit.

      Please note that there will not be any refunds on deposits or last minute rescheduling without a new one under ANY circumstances including but not limited to moving, travel, car issues, sickness, etc.

      Please just communicate with me in a timely manner!

       

      Touch Up Policy

      Your free touch up must be claimed within 1 year from when you got them done. If you fail to follow my reschedule, cancelation, late, and no show policy stated above then your free touch up will be forfeited.

       

      Deposit Policy

      A non-refundable 50% deposit (sent through Venmo or Zelle) is required to secure your appointment. The deposit will go towards your total amount. No deposit = no appointment. The remaining balance can be paid with cash, Venmo, or Zelle.

      Additional Deposit Info:

      If you book multiple tattoos and decide not to do some of the tattoos you're scheduled for or you are late resulting in not being able to complete all the tattoos you were scheduled for, then you lose the deposit for the tattoos not done. You may not put it towards your total amount. Discounts will also be forfeited.

      Please note that there will not be any refunds on deposits or last minute rescheduling without a new one under ANY circumstances including but not limited to moving, travel, car issues, sickness, etc.

       

      Design

      Designs will be discussed through email and will be sent 1 day (usually late afternoon/evening before) before your appointment for you to take a look at and make any minor revisions if necessary. If you are making changes to your original concept after your appointment has been booked, please let me know asap! I ask that you inform me of any changes at least 5 days before your appointment. 

      Designs must be finalized the day before, no changes can be made after that or at the appointment. I don't want you to have any surprises nor do I want to either going into the appointment which is why I do the designs beforehand. Plus the appointment is typically set to only accomodate tattooing and not for me to design your tattoo as well. If you know you won't be able to commit to responding to me the day before your appointment in order for us to discuss your design and finalize it, please take that into consideration and plan/schedule your appointment accordingly. 

      Please note that pricing is subject to change and will increase if major changes are made, sizing increases significantly, you add a lot more to the design, or you completely change the design from what we originally discussed. Unfortunately, if the changes being made are drastic enough from the original concept and if it results in me needing more time to tattoo than what you're originally scheduled for, you could potentially be considered a late reschedule if I need to move you to a different day to account for the extra time needed.

      Please just be very descriptive and communicate clearly with me, I only want you to have the best design possible!

      *I do not design tattoos unless a deposit has been sent and you are officially booked for an appointment with me. Designs will only be sent 1 day prior to the appointment no sooner than that.

      1. Submit the request form with all your ideas. 

      2. I'll reach out through email within 2-3 days to give you a quote. 

      3. If you're okay with pricing and would like to book, then we coordinate a date/time for your appointment. 

      4. Once we agree on a time, you'll have 24 hours to send a deposit to secure that time. If it's past the 24 hour mark, check in with me to see if the opening is still available. If the time hasn't been booked yet then I'll put another 24 hour hold on that spot for you. If it has been booked then we just coordinate a new date/time for your appointment. 

      5. After the deposit is received, your appointment will officially be booked through my booking site.
