Thank you for your inquiry in making a tattoo with me.

 

If we haven't met before my name is Aaron and I have been tattooing for over 20 years starting off in Melbourne and central Victoria but now living in the beautiful Sunshine Coast 

I do a variety of styles including realism in both black + grey and colour,
neo traditional - geometric - script

sorry no trad or anime 

I would love to focus on doing a lot more large projects this year the more crazy the idea the more I may like it

I am currently working between two studios 

sacred rose tattoo (mango hill) north Brisbane 

stableyard tattoo (sippy downs) Sunshine Coast

There will be a section towards the end to make your desired location selection

 

This form in designed to make the booking progress less stressfull and easier for me to manage my time so please take the time to read through and respond to all sections thoroughly. There will be a section at the end if you have any further questions. 

 

 

Consultations

a consultation process is used to refine design persmitors and concepts put forward in this form so please be as thorough as possible

a preliminary constult will be conducted via email first but if I feel the need I will request a face to face consult with you to discuss further mostly for larger projects like sleeves etc

the consultation process either email or in person is free

 

Design process 

due to my time restraints between work me and home/family life me, I draw at night when all is quiet in the days leading up to your appointment, not weeks before.
Sorry but I don't ever send out pictures of designs as I have encountered every possible downfall from doing so because of this your design will only be available to you on the morning of your tattoo.

I do all my designs digitally which makes it quite easy to make changes and tweaks to the design before your tattoo in the morning, I just ask my clients to be as honest and speak up if there is anything you would like to change before going ahead

please bare in mind I don't do any design work until a deposit and booking date is confirmed 

 

Pricing

My pricing is pretty straight forward 

half day $770

full day $1250

if it lands somewhere in between I'll charge appropriately.

minimum charge $150

when given a quote during the consultation process this is an estimated quote and may change slightly once I've had time to play around with design concepts

 

Bookings and deposits

in order to secured a booking you must have a deposit.

a minimum non-refundable deposit is required

half day $150

full day $250

large multiple bookings $500

this deposit will be requested after our email consultation. Or in person at consultation. A deposit can be rolled over to another booking if at least a week notice is given otherwise your deposit will be forfeited for cancelation or no-show and another deposit will be required to re-book.

if rescheduling or cancellations become a habit a larger deposit will be requested to continue to book

all deposits will be deducted from your overall cost unless it is rolled over the a secondary booking

Day before and of your booking 

Try to make sure you eat well the night before and the morning of your booking, and try to get a good night sleep

 

bring some photo ID you will need it to fill out a concent form. You will not be able to get tattooed without it

 

PLEASE ONLY BRING YOURSELF TO YOUR APPOINTMENT

TO AVOID DISAPOINTMENT

there is limited space within both studios I work in plus not to sound rude but myself and the other artist around me need to limit the amount of noise and destructions while tattooing to give you the best result, if a secondary person has tagged along they will be asked to wait somewhere else where for the duration of your appointment sorry

you may bring any snacks or drinks you like (no alcoholic) to keep your energy up throughout your appointment 

dress appropriately for where you are getting your tattoo done. e.g (for girls who are getting their whole back tattooed a button up shirt worm backwards) is a good idea or if your getting your thigh tattooed don't wear super tight jeans to your appointment 

you may also bring your own pillow and headphones if you like, I won't be offended if you just want to get comfortable and zone out, but I am always up for a good conversation 

  

Tattoo times

tattoo session for me will always start from 9am where possible. I don't do late night sessions as I have fatherhood priorities in the evenings

If your tattoo is going to incorporate any names or dates make sure to check and double check the spelling and dates are correct I will not be held responsible if what was supplied is incorrect 

Aftercare

after your tattoo I will go over aftercare instructions with you, as there may be some variations to your instructions depending on how the procedure went that day and or what you do for work may need a little more instruction rather than having a set routine to follow

For those on you who know what I'm talking about, I do give second skin as a aftercare option, in fact I suggest it only not in some situations or requested not to use it by you
