Initial contact wherein you explain your idea with references and photos of the area in which you wish to get tattooed.
Consultations can be done in 3 different ways depending on the complexity of the piece. We can get an understanding of the tattoo either via email correspondence, a phone call or an in person consultation.
Directly after the consultation we will discuss date, rate and deposit. My rate is $200/hr and the deposit is $200. The deposit will be credited towards the last session of the tattoo and is non refundable. So if there are multiple sessions we keep the deposit riding until the tattoo is complete. Once that is settled we find a date and time that works for both of our schedules and I put you on the books.
I provide 2-3 very rough outlines of the tattoo.They are 5 minute outlines and are only meant to dictate the flow of the piece so they may look unpolished. I appreciate your trust in knowing that I will make sure you have a solid piece and that it will reflect what we went over in our consultation. From here you will choose your favorite one, mention any revisions that you may want, and then I will have a final draft for you ready THE DAY OF the tattoo. I do not send out final drafts because that leads to unnecessary revisions and stolen artwork.
The fated day has arrived! I will show you your final piece, you love it and we tattoo it. Or you want a small revision made and then you love it and we tattoo it. Regardless I will make sure you have something that resonates with you.
I provide you with aftercare instructions verbally and via my website and then you take care of it! Make sure to keep it clean and safe to avoid infection and so that it holds up over time. Yay you did it, now tell all of your friends where to find me.
