I look for projects that allow freedom of design and body placement, rather than having strict requirements. I prefer projects that require little or no cover-up work at all. Most of my work is based on realistic portraiture, and as such, I do not accept requests for full figure designs unless it is on a large scale.
I prefer projects that will be completed over multiple sessions. My focus is toward horror/surreal themes and photorealism portraits of people or animals. My priority is creating designs with strong readability from a distance.
Please provide an image of the area you plan on getting tattooed (have someone else take the photo for you).
Not all projects will require an in-person consultation. If a consultation is needed, I will let you know, and we can set up a date and time to meet at Hollow Earth or video chat. If you do not have an in-person consultation, I will send an invoice to your email for the deposit. I require a NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT to secure your appointment date and time.
I will present your design on the day of your appointment. Minor changes to the design can be done on the spot, but any major changes will require rescheduling your appointment. If you wish to see your design ahead of time but can’t come to the shop in person, I can send it to you via email for an additional fee. I do not finish designing tattoos until the week prior to the appointment.
Large tattoo projects will require multiple sessions to finish. I try to help clients prepare and know what to expect for payments during our appointments. I charge $200 hourly.
Minimum: $200
Full Day – $2000
I am open to booking back-to-back days for tattoos that can’t be finished in one sitting. Large projects (sleeves, full front, full back, etc.) will require multiple sessions to finish. I only book people who are financially capable of paying for the tattoo appointments needed to finish their design.
I accept all forms of payment except checks and money orders.
A 7.5% sales tax for the city of Columbus will be added to all credit card transactions.
I generally take 50% ($1500 maximum) of the total cost of your tattoo for a deposit. Deposits secure your appointment time and will be applied toward the cost of your tattoo. ALL DEPOSITS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE AND NON-TRANSFERRABLE.
A 72-hour notice is needed to reschedule your tattoo appointment. Anything less than a 72-hour notice (barring an emergency) will result in a forfeit of your deposit. I only accept one reschedule per booked appointment. Any further attempts to reschedule will result in a forfeit of your deposit.
If I do not accept your request, it is likely either outside of my artistic style, or not something I am focusing on during this booking period. I would be happy to make a referral and answer any further questions you may have. If I am unable to take on your project, we have other talented artists at Hollow Earth who may be better suited to take on your project. Please refer to the artist profiles on the shop website www.hollowearthtattoo.com.
