Tattoo Booking Process
Please fill out the Booking Inquiry form first and we will best contact you regarding your inquiry. Now for the fun stuff…
All of our tattoo designs are uniquely freestyled and hand drawn for each individual’s project. You may also choose from our pre-drawn tattoo flash. Any design alterations to any of the completed pre-drawn tattoo flash will be at the sole discretion of the artist.
The design concept will be shown on the day of the appointment. It may more than likely be created on the spot the day of the tattoo session.
We do not make copies or repetitions of other tattoo artists. If you like their work please respect the original artist and go get tattooed by them.
You may give input on ideas during the consultation process. If we see that the project will be a symbiotic mutualism for us then we will accept the tattoo project.
