TATTOO CONSULTATION FORM Q226

This round of booking is for JUNE TO AUGUST 2026; last minute availability is mentioned via instagram stories as soon as I am aware.

In order to streamline the booking process for my tattoos, I have set up this form! If you are unsure of how to answer or have difficulty with the questions presented, please give your best answer and we can discuss it in further detail if setting up an appointment in the future.

✧✧✧ My available pre-drawn work is found on the AVAILABLE page on my personal website and there is a wanna-do list with rough mock ups of large pieces here, as a sub-section.

As of January 2025 I have moved to a flat priced model with a half day rate of $650 and a full day rate of $1200. I do require a $150 booking fee to keep your appointment for all new pieces. For pre-drawn work with a price below $650 listed, this does not apply.

For large-scale projects (sleeve, backpiece, etc.) the deposit is $300 and will require a fitting session consisting of trying on the stencil, making sure it fits, and talking through the design. This fitting session will be scheduled as a full day but will only cost a flat $500 and will not have any tattooing take place.

I currently work Monday through Thursday with appointments at 11:45AM and 3:30PM for half day appointments, and a 11:45AM start time for full day appointments.

✧✧✧ FOR SUMMER 2026: I have two surgeries planned for this summer. The first one takes place in mid-May and will not effect any appointments booked during this round of booking.

The second date is to be determined-- likely August-- and I am trying to get it resolved & scheduled before I respond to most or all of the booking inquiries this cycle. The nature of scheduling surgeries does mean that there could be shifts in expectations depending on recovery time of the first surgery, pre-existing conditions, the hospital's availability, and other factors. I will be communicating if there are any major changes. Please let me know if you are traveling from a distance/scheduling may be a concern for you so I can ensure you are not in the window of potential disruption from this secondary surgery.

Is this your first tattoo?

Would you like a consultation to discuss exact placement and subject matter?

An in-person consultation may involve me taking a tracing of the body part you would like tattooed to best fill the area, including drawing on you with sharpie or medical markers. Some sketching may be done that day but you will not see the final tattoo design until the day of your appointment.

If you have specific ideas of how the tattoo should look, please consider a consultation!

Consultations may also be done via Zoom for clients traveling some distance away.

Some projects, like cover-ups, gap fillers, and larger work such as half sleeves may require a consultation appointment to ensure the project is within my scope and to be able to appropriately plan for the best tattoo to suit your needs; we can book both the consultation and the appointment at the same time.

Are you over 18?

Are you fully vaccinated against COVID-19?

Please note that our policy regarding COVID-19 is prone to changing due to mandates, vaccine booster availability, variants, and other unknown circumstances due to the nature of COVID-19, but I am currently only tattooing vaccinated clients.

Masks are now optional; if you are high risk or immunocompromised please let me know so I can try to schedule you on a slower time of day or week. During times of high illness transition I may require you to wear a mask.

The nature of my booking system will require a $150 deposit at the time of booking the appointment; this comes off the final cost of the tattoo and for most intents and purposes is non-refundable.
