How do I schedule a tattoo appointment?
Thank you for your interest! I will be booking in three month increments . The best way to stay alerted to any book openings will be through the bio on my Instagram page (@sketchupandfries). I do not schedule appointments through direct messaging/comments on social media. I’ll post a link to the appointment form in the bio section. I will try to schedule a fair combination of new and returning clients so long as I feel that I am a good fit for your project. Please don't be discouraged if you don't get an appointment right away.
Where is the appointment form?
The form will be either in the bio section of my IG or as a tab on the menu page of my website. If it is unavailable, it just means I'm currently not booking.
Do you take walk-ins?
The studio is private and by appointment only. No walk-ins.
Do you do cover ups?
I can do cover-ups if the style and project you’re interested in best suits the area to be covered. If you’re interested in a cover-up and you’re comfortable sending in a picture of the piece to be covered, I can assess whether the style I work in will be successful in covering the area or not. I never add on to or touch up another artist’s work.
Can I bring a friend with me on the day of my appointment?
At this time, we are asking that you come alone as part of our covid-related precautions in place.
Can I change the design/size/placement of my tattoo after my appointment is scheduled?
When I book your appointment, I reserve a certain amount of time based on the information you provide, so if you decide to drastically change any one of these aspects, I may not have enough time for your appointment resulting in a necessity for either multiple sessions or a need to reschedule altogether. If drastic changes are made in studio, you may be required to pay a $100 drawing fee. Please check with me as soon as possible if you want to make any considerable changes. If any minor changes occur the day of your appointment, that is perfectly fine. It’s important that your tattoo fits the location you've chosen and feels right for you!
How much will my tattoo cost?
The price of your tattoo will depend on the size, placement, and amount of detail in the design. When I receive all of the information you provide, I can give you an estimate as to the total cost.
What forms of payment do you accept?
Deposits can be paid with a credit or debit card via PayPal, and the remaining cost of the tattoo in cash the day of your appointment.
Do I need to leave a deposit?
I require a non-refundable deposit of $200 that will be subtracted from the final price of your tattoo. Your appointment will only be secured if the deposit is made. Not showing up to your appointment or attempting to reschedule within a week of your appointment will result in losing your deposit. However, I allow for one reschedule if it’s more than a week prior to your scheduled appointment.
Can I see my tattoo design ahead of time?
The design will only be shown the day of your appointment. Should any minor changes need to be made, we’ll do that within the allotted time frame for your tattoo.
Can I get a touch up on my tattoo?
If you think your new tattoo needs a touch up after its fully healed (a month after your tattoo appointment) please send an email within 6 months of your tattoo appointment. Please include a current photo of your healed tattoo on your email so that we can approve the touch up appointment.
What precautions are you taking in the time of COVID?
We kindly ask that you come alone to your appointment. There will never be more than 8 people in our studio at one time, all 6 feet apart.
Each person will be required to wear a mask throughout the duration of their appointment and while inside our studio.
Thorough hand washing will be required upon entry of our studio.
Do not hesitate to reschedule if you are feeling even slightly ill, or are worried you have been exposed.
