What is a consultation?
A consultation is where you can meet with your artist to discuss a tattoo idea.
It’s common to share inspiration photos, sketches, or other media you may have collected.
Your artist can answer any questions you may have concerning availability, the design process, pricing, or aftercare.
How much does a consultation cost?
Nothing. It’s free. The only restriction is that it happens when the artist has free time (You wouldn’t want their attention divided, anyway.) A consultation typically lasts about 15-30 minutes and is more likely to occur at the start or end of a day.
What should I expect?
You’ll get to see the studio, and meet your artist directly. Your artist can give you a sense of scale to your design and inform you on how much the project may cost. There’s no commitment to book. However, if you’d like to schedule after talking to one of us, we can set up an appointment for your tattoo with a $50 deposit. You don’t necessarily need cash, we accept credit cards and Apple/Google Pay. If you instead need time to think about it, we’re happy you’ve considered us.
What should I bring?
Everyone does this part differently, but here are some examples other clients have used to start their tattoo journey with us:
- Saved screenshots of tattoos you like.
- A simple sketch on paper.
- Photos with elements circled.
- Patterns you like.
- A photo you took.
- Your loved one’s handwriting (bonus if you got them to write every letter.)
- A stamp or diecut.
- Clips from a movie on a flash drive.
- A Pinterest or cloud storage album.
- Your mom. (No, really.)
