Q: How do I get scheduled/do you do consultations?
To inquire about an appointment, please submit an appointment request form via the link in my Instagram bio. Once I receive your appointment request, it will be reviewed and responded to within 2-3 business days by my assistant. Please be advised that the studio is closed on Sunday and Monday and emails will not be answered on those days.
I currently book appointments on Tuesdays, Thursday - Saturday. The studio is closed on Sundays and Mondays, and I do not work on Wednesdays. Studio hours are from 11am - 6pm.
Consultations are primarily done via email communication. Any questions, concerns, reference/inspo photos, etc. can be attached directly to the appointment request form and discussed further via email!
I am currently interested in booking larger scale projects, and those will be prioritized. My priorities are shifting from the colorful plant and floral botanical realm as I look to challenge myself and further my skills in fine line, high contrast, black and grey work. This doesn’t mean I’m moving completely away from color tattoos, only that Iam being more selective with what I takes on.
I am not currently interested in taking on any projects that are reworks of existing tattoos, add-ons to existing tattoos done by other artists, large cover ups, or designs that are outside of my style.
I am typically booked 7+ months out, and Saturdays fill up very fast. Please fill out your availability accurately, as that will also be used during the booking process.
Q: How much is a tattoo?
My tattoo rate is $200
My minimum cost per session is $400
My travel rate may differ.
Please note that a palm sized tattoo takes roughly an hour to complete. I have over a decade of tattoo experience and tattoo very efficiently, therefore a quality tattoo takes far less time than you may think.
If you’re wanting a small tattoo that takes less than the minimum cost, I recommend either grouping multiple tattoos into one appointment session with me, or let us refer you to another wonderfully talented artist at Great Oak Tattoo Studio that would be capable of doing it for you. We want to make sure you get the tattoo of your dreams and have the best experience possible!
Large multi-session tattoos (half sleeves, sleeves, back pieces, leg sleeves, etc) will be scheduled for full day (5-6 hours) sessions.
Yes. Appointments dates will only be given once a deposit is paid.
Single appointment deposits are $200. Larger, multi-session tattoos are $400.
As mentioned above, a single session minimum is $400. Multi-session appointments will be booked all at once about 3-6 weeks apart to ensure the tattoo is complete within an appropriate amount of time.
All deposits are non-refundable, non-transferable, and go toward the cost of the tattoo at the final appointment.
Q: Is there a deposit needed?
In most cases, I will email a drawing of the design to you a day or two before your appointment to the email on your appointment request. Any small adjustments can usually be made, however large design changes may require rescheduling.
Q: When can i see my drawing?
We require a 48 hour notice, at minimum, for the possibility of rescheduling. If you cancel with less than 48 hours notice, your deposit will be forfeit and you will need to place another deposit if we agree to reschedule. If a genuine emergency keeps you from making your appointment, please give us as much notice as possible, and we will try to make something work. Any no-call, no-show clients will lose their deposit and will likely not be rescheduled in the future.
Q:What is your cancellation policy?
Reschedules will be handled on a case by case basis at my discretion.
Rescheduling once or twice early on is understandable, however multiple reschedules or complications may need to be dealt with case by case.
Because my books are always open and I am booked for 7+ months in advance, what I agree to/am interested in taking on presently may not be something I want to reschedule to take on in the future. I have to plan out personal time off, family time off, holidays, travel dates, etc. almost a year in advance and repeated reschedules make it difficult to maintain a healthy work/life balance. With a typical “3 re-schedule rule” one appointment may be rescheduled for up to 2 years and that is not something I want to do for obvious reasons. I hope you understand, and I am here to do my best to get you tattooed!
