HOW DO I SCHEDULE WITH YOU?
Booking: I am currently working Sunday-Tuesday 12:00pm-8:00pm by appointment only. Please email me or text me to work out necessary details. My cell phone is dedicated solely to work and I can be reached during appropriate business hours during the week. Text is preferred. My number again is 614.632.5341.
Deposit: To schedule an appointment, I require a non-refundable $100.00 deposit on smaller, one session tattoos and a $300.00 + deposit on larger, multi-session pieces. Deposits can be made in cash, or digitally via Zelle. For smaller one session tattoos, the amount of the deposit will be subtracted from the total, and the remaining balance will be due at the completion of the tattoo. For larger multi-session work, the deposit comes off the total of the LAST FEW appointments.
To reschedule your appointment, kindly notify me 48 hours before your original appointment time and date. Failure to do so will result in the forfeiture of your deposit. You are allowed one free reschedule.
Appointments must be rescheduled within 30 days of the original appointment date, or your deposit will be forfeited. Failure to meet these requirements will lead to the loss of your original deposit, and you will be required to submit a larger deposit to proceed with your appointment(s). Please note that all deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable.
Your understanding and cooperation are greatly appreciated as I strive to prioritize each client. Thank you.
Booking out: My appointment book is always open. Meaning, I will try my hardest to make time for you. Obviously, some stipulations may apply. In the case that I am unable to tattoo you, I will always point you to other solid tattooers that would love to make a quality tattoo for you. I have many tattooer friends in your city and around the country.
HOW MUCH WILL MY TATTOO COST?
First, please let me say, "You know better than I do about what you're worth!" so please be sure to check out my portfolio here, to see my work before inquiring about price. Always find the artist that suites your needs, even if that excludes myself.
Cost: Pricing varies depending on many variables. Size of tattoo, style of tattoo, detail, time required, placement on the body, body type, do you have poor hygiene? a bad attitude? can your grandmother find it cheaper? etc... The only way to receive the most accurate pricing is to stop into the shop to discuss your ideas in person. Please feel free to bring any reference material you may have. (printed pictures, books, scribbles, drawings, cell phone, or even Pinterest) The better the description and idea I can get, the more accurate the estimated quote can be. Please remember, it is only a quote. Final cost may vary due to unforeseen complications.
"Per Piece" Pricing vs. Hourly: Smaller, single session tattoos are based on "Per Piece" Pricing which means we agree on an estimated quote and the price may only vary slightly, if at all. While larger, multi-session tattoos are an hourly rate which we will discuss in person. Luckily for you, I'm an efficient, smart tattooer that works tirelessly to provide the quickest, least painful tattooing without sacrificing integrity.
Shop Minimum: My shop minimum is based on conversations with other professional tattooers across the country from small towns to big cities. It’s also based on elements like supply and shipping costs. You’re not just paying for the tattoo, but also years of experience as a tattoo artist. The highest quality tooling and supplies. Years of gaining knowledge through reference books, prints, original artwork, getting tattooed, and endless study. I provide higher than industry standard aftercare and a direct line of communication to me for any questions or concerns. Not to mention, the whole experience itself is far above par with your average tattoo shop. Shop minimums should not be a factor when deciding on a luxury item such as a new tattoo. I believe in putting out only high quality tattoos with fair pricing, all while making new friendships in the process. Don't pay the price for cheap tattoos. Get high quality tattoos and a great experience for the right cost.
DO YOU ACCEPT WALK-INS?
At this time I do not accept walk-ins.
Walk-ins: When I am accepting walk-ins, remember, I am a highly capable tattooer. Well versed in many different styles. My goal is to always make solid tattoos with integrity no matter the size. I put emphasis on making tattoos that my clients desire within the perimeters of what makes for a great tattoo. Always remember to keep an open mind and trust that I am a skilled artist and expert tattooer who is looking to make the best tattoo for you.
Timing: Walk-ins are always done on a first come-first served basis. I will do walk-ins between appointments if time allows or will always try to accommodate if not. Please reach out to me for an appointment and I will do my best to get you in asap. I WILL NOT take appointments over the phone without a deposit, and I will indicate if I have time available & when for same day walk-ins.
WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?
I can be found tattooing at many great shops across Ohio. Currently located in Central Ohio and taking appointments out of Tattoo Saga in Powell.
