Info on the process of booking a Tattoo Session
Existing/Regular Customers:
No need to faff about,
If you know how long to book for just email me to let me know how long you'd like to book in for and any dates suitable for you in the future. Having a rolling deposit helps speed up the booking process.
OR if it's a new tattoo, again please send me an email with info about the design. Or you can use this Quote Form if you don't trust yourself to include all the required info.
New Customers:
I very much appreciate your interest in my work & that getting tattooed is a big deal. This is partly why I've put so much info on my website. Knowledge is power.
Below is a rough 'step by step' guide to the process of getting a tattoo.
Hopefully it helps answer some questions you may have and dispels some of the nervousness about getting tattooed for the first time.
I tattoo full time, so any e-mails, social media, drawings, website work etc is done outside business hours.
So the quickest way to get booked in is to use the quote form as it makes sure I have all the info needed.
Not sure how all this works?
Below is a step by step guide to the process of booking a tattoo appointment.
1.
Consultation/Quote: In person or via this Form.
Consultations in person are best for large scale & cover-up tattoos, but not compulsory.
2.
Once I have the info I need to be able to provide a time/cost quote, I will send you a list of available dates and deposit info. These are handed out to multiple people & are secured on a 'first come, first served basis' by paying the relevant deposit. you can pay with debit card, Paypal or in person.
*Deposits are required to make a booking & are non-refundable*
Before paying your deposit, please ensure you're sure about firstly, actually getting tattooed. But also the design/concept/advice, location of the studio etc not only does the deposit secure your chosen date in the diary, it is also confirms everything we've spoken about is all good with you and we're good to go.
4.
All drawing gets done for the day of the appointment.
So it's important if you've specific design requirements that you tell me what they are during a consultation or via email.
Small changes, tweaks etc can usually be accommodated prior to the appointment, again I will need you to tell me what they are as soon as possible, as it might affect the length of time the tattoo will take etc.
Most small tweaks can easily be made on the day. But as I tend to work in Black and Grey realism or Geometry the design will either be the same as the reference picture, or I will have multiple Mandalas and repeat patterns for you to choose from. So a lot less to worry about there.
However if you decide to completely change the design, I will need to know asap because the appointment might need moving to a more suitable time slot, if this is done under the required notice of 7 days it might result in you loosing your deposit. Likewise the deposit will be lost if it's a style I don't work in.
This is due to the increasing number of people booking for a specific design, in a style I specialise in then changing their mind to a totally different design which is a different style to which I work in.
Meaning the time taken consulting over the original design, the admin of getting them booked in, prepping the design and then booking time out in the diary, which if postponed/cancelled is a day of lost earnings and time/advice I could have spent with someone else.
5.
Then it's just a case of Preparing for the tattoo session.
Short & Sweet version, no partying the night before.
wear comfy clothes, make sure you've eaten a decent meal & brought sugary snacks with you.
The aim is to ensure you're as comfortable as possible and have a great experience.
Remember nerves & excitement are totally normal.
Kinda like Religious celebrations and your Birthday all in one, but for grown ups!
