How to request an appointment:
Before filling out an appointment request form please take the time to read the following:
Only black and grey requests are accepted and done by Quin.
Please allow up to 2 weeks to receive a response to your request. Quin has a certain style and subject material he prefers so those requests fitting this criteria will get responses first. For the requests which do not fit what he is able to do, we will respond with additional questions to try and find an alternative to your idea.
To improve the possibility of getting tattooed by Quin, make sure to read and answer each area of your appointment request form carefully. Remember to provide the necessary information for us to review your request. A good tip for filling out the form is to not focus on the length of your responses but instead making sure you are thorough in explaining clear specifics about your ideas.
The placement of your tattoo doesn’t have to be exact, just be specific. If you say sleeve, we will assume it is wrist to shoulder. If you want an upper back tattoo, say upper back tattoo or shoulder blade, if you only say back piece we assume you want your whole back tattooed. This can affect the estimates that we give you as well as Quin's ability to take on certain pieces. Please provide a photo, or photos, taken by someone else of the area you would like tattooed. It is best if you are standing in a relaxed position to photograph most areas of the body. If the area is bicep or forearm, simply turn your arm out and have them take a photo of the area. Selfies and mirror photos make it difficult for Quin to see the approximate size of the body part and makes it harder to design on that picture of the body. Please keep in mind if there is no photo of the area to be tattooed the chances of getting a reply are slim.
Black Pines Gallery is located in Texarkana, TX. Quin’s schedule consists of Monday-Fridays, with very few Saturdays available. It’s best to try and make time for your tattoo from M-F. No Sunday bookings. All appointments begin at 12 pm unless a different time is agreed upon. If you live too far to drive and are flying into Texarkana, or any other airport (we have three others that are commonly used - Dallas DFW, Little Rock AR, Shreveport LA), we ask that you plan your trip to arrive the day before your appointment, and leave the day after so that there will be no time constraints, and so that you can rest after a session as it is a very long and tiring process.
Any questions you may have and further details of the tattooing process such as day-of preparations, what to expect, address, pricing, etc., will be provided in the first e-mail once your request has been approved.
We thank you for your interest in Quin’s work and for your support!
