A deposit of $50 is required to start up a sketch, some ppl require more of a visual and often request a little more than a sketch,
for these clients a deposit of $150 is required,
*Disclaimer*
(none of the above mentioned monies go towards the cost of the tattoo)
The amount of time that goes into designing an original tattoo is never compensated, and when people
"need to see what its going to look like"
- they are referring to the layout as not enough,
What they need to see is the shading, color and all details they cannot imagine.
This is like performing a tattoo or creating a painting. Again, without begin compensated often taking just as long if not more time.
( this goes for the visual thinkers)
But, how do I know if I'm going to like my tattoo design?
Hey you came to us,
you obviously know we take tattooing seriously.
We are not going to half ass anything. We do this from the heart.
If you book an appointment for $100/ the $50 drawing fee is automatically deducted ,
the other $50 goes towards your tattoo.
If you need to reschedule, a notice of 48 hours is required prior to appointment.
If client does not give notice, the client forfeits the deposit.
(Keep in mind that $50 of your original $100 already went towards your drawing)
(If you failed to give notice a new $100 deposit is required. )
To Book an appointment, a $100 deposit is required, this deposit does go towards the final cost of the tattoo.
Some tattoos often take multiple sessions. For these tattoos, the deposit simply rolls over untill the tattoo is complete.
Its good to do your own research and collect images to help with the design process. When doing so, please stay away from searching other tattoos, as this often creates walls on creativity.
We like to be original, often words can describe a tattoo enough for us to make something cool for you. Clients who like to leave it to the artist are the best.
….another thing to remember, no one likes a micro-manager.
Rest assured if we are not comfortable with your tattoo idea, we will recommend you to our friends in the industry.
Hope this helps, any further questions please, let us know.
