Before setting an appointment you will need know exactly what you want. Collect as much reference material as you can to bring it with you to show your artist. Better to have too much than too little when it comes to planning your tattoo. Now that you have done your research, take your reference material to the shop to talk to your artist. Tell your artist all of your ideas and expectations for your new tattoo. They will give you their input on what will or will not work and what ways it will look best, please listen to your artist as they are the professional.
At this point the artist may take some photos, tracings and or measurements of the place you want the tattoo. You will also be asked to leave a deposit (a minimum of $100 & up to 1/2 of the estimated cost) before any drawing will be started. Your deposit will come off the price of the tattoo, however once ANY artwork is done, the deposit WILL NOT BE REFUNDED. If you change your mind the deposit is kept , but you are entitled to the artwork that was drawn for you.
Once the artwork is prepped and ready you will receive a phone call or email letting you know it is done. Stop in to go over the artwork with your artist, telling them what you like or dislike about the art. If there are major changes to be made you will have to wait and again be called/emailed when it is ready. Once the art is approved by you then an appointment will be set for a time convenient to both you and your artist. Please make sure you have plenty of time on the day you set up your appointment so that neither you or the artist feels pressured or rushed.
If for some reason you need to cancel your appointment, please do so at least 24 hours prior to the appointment. If you do not give at least 24 hours advance notice of a cancelation (even if there was no drawing/artwork done) you will forfeit your deposit!
