Tattoo Booking
~ PLEASE READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING BEFORE SUBMITTING A FORM ~
Hello! I appreciate your interest in working with me & I look forward to connecting with you through this beautiful art form. You can expect a response typically in less than a week unless otherwise stated on a guest spot post. Make sure you add my email (ustiwayacreations@gmail.com) to your whitelist - as many of my clients have mentioned my responses going into their spam folder!
Where do you tattoo? Currently my homebase is San Diego, CA.
I also frequently travel to NC & Bloomington, IN to tattoo. I will announce when I am traveling through either my email newsletter or instagram.
What’s your rate? $200/hr with an additional $100 drawing fee for all custom designs (also your deposit). Most of my tattoos range anywhere from 3 hours to a full day or multiple day sessions for larger works. For full day sessions, I charge $1000-1200 sliding scale. Sliding scale options always available, but I also ask you to honor my time with a fair assessment of your budget.
What is your cancelation policy? I will allow one rescheduling date (but we will have to work around my other bookings & may require another deposit)! All deposits are non-refundable. This policy protects me, my work & other eager clients awaiting to be scheduled. I won’t work with you if you no call, no show.
What should I bring to my tattoo appointment/how to prepare? I always suggest you eat a meal before being tattooed. Bring yourself water, snacks, an extra layer of clothing and anything you need to feel comfortable. I also suggest getting clear on your intentions for being tattooed - we can discuss this further before your session or you can hold your intention privately. Tattooing one’s body is magic - the images, symbols & experience will go on to live in your skin forever & act as a prayer for your intentions. Do not drink alcohol or consume and drugs before your tattoo.
When can I expect to see my design? I will sometimes send rough sketches throughout my design process to get a clearer idea of your vision - but not always. The final design isn’t always shown until the day of the session. I am hoping that you found my art because you connect with my style & are willing to trust my process. If you would like to have the design before a certain date - please let me know early on…I can try my best to accommodate you.
