Tayler’s Booking Process and Details

There is a lot of information on this page! Please read through all of the following information before sending a booking request so that as many as possible of your questions will be answered! I really appreciate you taking the time!

Getting Started

Due to the custom nature of my work, when explaining what you would like to get tattooed, include as much detail as you possibly can about what you are envisioning for your design. If you want something very specific, you must be specific in your description.

If you would like me to take more creative liberty on a general idea, that’s great! The more flexible you are and the more creativity you allow me to have, the result will almost always be a better tattoo. 

Please don’t ask me to tattoo someone else’s tattoo or artwork without explicit permission from the original artist and/or their client. This does not include coverups or reworks of your own work from other artists.

I am happy to look at photo references for your tattoo, and such can be helpful. Though, if you want me to tattoo someone else’s artwork or tattoo design, I will require seeing permission from the artist. I will also require seeing a fully finished drawing before I can agree to do the tattoo for you. If the design needs a linework-version that I will need to have for stenciling, or if the design needs to be altered to be “tattooable,” I will require a drawing fee.

**If you fall in love with someone else’s tattoo/tattoo design, the best thing to do is get tattooed by that original artist, not me. You will not get as good of a tattoo from someone who is not the original artist.

Availability

Wednesdays, Fridays-Sundays

Start times: 11:30 am - 4 pm (can do 5 pm if the project size allows)

I only book in two/ three-month blocks. My Instagram bio will tell you which months I am currently booking. Last-minute availability will always be posted on my stories on Instagram, and I do keep a waitlist. I typically try to keep sessions to a 6 hour maximum.

Pricing

Shop minimum- $125

Single session work- Set rate, by piece

Hourly rate- $150

I am happy to give you an estimate or work within a specific budget if you have one! **For those of you ballin’ on a budget, I am happy to do sessions that are shop minimum at a time (~30-45 minutes at a time at $125/session), especially as we face another potential recession. If you have a budget or are low on funds, let me know. We can work something out!

  • Drawing fee- $50

This fee pays for the time that it takes to draw up your design and does not apply to the final cost of the tattoo. The first round of revisions are free, any alterations (outside of subtractions) will require a $50 revision fee, and so on. If I have done the drawing for you, then this is non-refundable.

  • Deposit - $50

This fee does come out of the final cost of the tattoo. This deposit is non-refundable.

When I say “non-refundable”, I mean non-refundable.

Payment

Both deposits and drawing fees are payable over Venmo, PayPal, or CashApp and are due at the time of scheduling.

Payment for the tattoo itself can be made with cash, Venmo, PayPal, or CashApp.

The Process

After we book an appointment date and the drawing fee or deposit is paid for, then I can begin working on your drawing. The drawing fee and/ or deposit is due within 48 hours of scheduling your appointment unless otherwise discussed with me. Otherwise, you may lose your appointment spot.

You can expect a linework drawing sent to you for your review a few days before the scheduled appointment.

*I only send linework versions of drawings. All color and shading is added during the tattoo itself.*

You are more than welcome to request as many alterations to your design as you want! The drawing fee covers up to one round of changes. Any further changes will require a $50 revision fee, which will cover another round of alterations, and so on.

Then, once the drawing has been approved by you, we are all set for tattoo time!

The Process in a Nutshell

Step One: Fill out the booking form

Step Two: We discuss the details about the design

Step Three: A tattoo date is scheduled, and a drawing fee/deposit is paid (due within 48 hours of scheduling)

Step Four: A linework drawing will be sent for your approval. (Revisions and the fees associated are laid out in the previous section.)

Step Five: You can expect a drawing a few days before your appointment.

Step Six: Wait for tattoo day!

Cancellation/Rescheduling/Late Policy

If you would like to cancel your appointment, you are welcome to do so at any time. The last thing that I want is to give you a tattoo that you don’t want!

Please don’t come in sick!!

If you are more than 15 minutes late, you may lose your time slot and need to reschedule for a later date/ time. This requires a new deposit for the new date/ time.

Touch-up Policy

I touch up my own work for free within the first year of getting the tattoo. Past that first year, touch ups will cost $75/hour with a $75 minimum. *If you are getting a new tattoo at the same time, then this is negotiable depending on what needs to be touched up.*

Additional Notes

I do not do white-ink-only or UV ink tattoos (we don’t even have UV ink in the shop).

You must be of or above the age of 18 and have your current driver’s license, government-issued ID, or passport present at the time of the appointment.
