How do I schedule a tattoo appointment?

• To schedule a tattoo appointment, start by clicking the “Contact” tab at the top of the page.

• Complete the online form, answer some general questions about what type of tattoo you are interested in and click “Submit.”

• Once you submit the form, it will be sent to my email, so we can further discuss your ideas.

• Together, we will decide if an in-person consult is necessary and schedule a day for either a consult or your new tattoo!

Is an initial deposit required?

Yes, a deposit is required to hold the date and time for your tattoo appointment. The deposit is applied towards the balance of the tattoo. However, if you cancel your appointment and do not reschedule, the $50 deposit is nonrefundable. Deposits can be made through this website, by clicking on the “Deposits” tab at the top of the page.

Why are deposits nonrefundable?

Once you choose to put down a deposit to secure your tattoo appointment, your artist has already started the process of preparing what they want to accomplish during your session. The deposit accounts for the drawing and prep time that happens before you come in, which gets factored into your final cost. It also accounts for the possibility of cancellation and the artist is not able to fill the time they blocked off for the original appointment.

What should I expect during my consultation?

A consultation is approximately 30 minutes. Bring any ideas you have or images you have found. We will discuss design, tattoo style and pricing for your tattoo. I will measure and take pictures of the area for the tattoo, specifically, when discussing a tattoo cover up or if working around an existing tattoo. 

A deposit is not required for a consultation, however, if you book an appointment at the end of your consultation, a deposit is required to hold your appointment date. 

What forms of payment do you accept?

Cash, card or PayPal are accepted for payment. If you would like to pay with a card, MasterCard, Visa, Discover, or American Express are all acceptable.

What should I bring to my tattoo appointment?

• Bring your driver’s license or form of identification that includes your full name and date of birth.

• Wear clothes that allow easy access to the area you are having tattooed. It should be something you feel comfortable wearing and sitting in.

• If you are not sure what to wear – please ask me.

• Depending on the length of your tattoo session, you may want to bring bottled water and a small snack to eat.

What should I expect after making my appointment and putting down a deposit?

Once you solidify a date for your tattoo and put down your deposit, I will begin drawing up the tattoo design based on what we discussed through your online request or consultation. I will send you the drawn up design about a week before your appointment date - This allows time for any necessary adjustments to be made.

Once I am given the confirmation of the final design, I will be able to give you a price for when you come in for your appointment.

Final sizing, design intricacy, body placement and design prep time all factor into in the final cost of the tattoo.

What is the studio minimum?

The BS_Ink studio minimum is $100. This means no matter what you come in to get tattooed, it will be at least $100. This amount is to cover the cost of all the basic equipment used during your appointment and also the time required ahead of your appointment to prepare your design.

Are there any restrictions while my tattoo is healing?

Here are the most important restrictions everyone should follow while their tattoo is healing: 

• Do not re-bandage your tattoo once you have removed the bandage you received from your appointment.

• Do not participate in activities that will cause you to sweat heavily for at least 48 hours.

• Avoid wearing tight clothing over your new tattoo.

• Do not scratch or pick your tattoo while it is healing.

• No excessive sun.

• Do not submerge your tattoo in water for long periods of time for at least two weeks. Tattoos and fun in the sun vacations do not mix!
