APPOINTMENT INFO
You must be over the age of 18 by Vic Law and photo ID is required. I will not tattoo anybody under the legal age with or without parental consent.
I charge a $200 deposit for each appointment booked. Consecutive days booked will require a deposit for each day. All deposits are non-refundable. Your deposit may be moved once to a later appointment date with at least 72hrs notice prior to the appointment time.
Pricing for your tattoo will be discussed once you have filled out a contact form, and I have had time to read through it.
I generally do half day (4hrs) and full day (8hrs) sittings. Keep in mind that if you book a full day, you will have to pay for the full day. It is best to clear your schedule for the day to allow us to work without time restrictions.
My rate will increase to $200 per hr after the 8 hrs is completed. This will depend on where we are at with the tattoo and how we are both feeling...Getting tattooed on the forearm for 8 hours is very different to getting tattooed on the ribs or somewhere more sensitive.
Once booked in you will need to transfer the design fee and deposit to me, and I will supply you with my details. I can hold your appointment for 48hrs, If I have not received your deposit your appointment may be offered to someone else.
DESIGN
I charge a design fee based on the size and detail of the tattoo, example: A smaller piece, say on the inside of the forearm is roughly $100 - this is a guide as some tattoos require a lot more time to prepare regardless of size.
I don’t send any design work through prior to the appointment; there are no exceptions to this. Although if any changes need to be made, we can talk about this on the day of your appointment. I generally do my design work in the days leading up to the tattoo.
As an artist, we generally like to have a fair bit of freedom when designing a piece. If you have come to me for my style of work, then be confident that this is what I will give you. Letting your artist have creative freedom will get you the best results. While your opinion is certainly taken into consideration, please trust that I will endeavour to give you a great tattoo and have many years of experience tattooing.
WORKING DAYS/HOURS -
I typically work Tuesday to Saturday. I generally do blocks of 3 months when it comes to bookings. When doing a large-scale tattoo, I prefer to do full day sessions. This is more time/cost effective. I am told that I generally have a light hand when tattooing, and usually have no problems with my clients sitting for the day. If you are concerned about the pain and don’t have experience of being tattooed for long periods, then please let me know so we can discuss our options.
On the day of your appointment, please do not make other arrangements or commitments, tattooing can be a slow process, especially with the realistic style. Occasionally it may take some time to start tattooing, as we finalise the design in the morning and I create the stencil for the tattoo.
Please make sure before making an appointment with me that you have the money available to pay the deposit, design fee and final payment on the day. The balance will have to be paid in cash, please bring this with you.
Once booked in you will need to transfer the design fee and deposit to me, and I will supply you with my details.
