Booking Your Tattoo

I look for projects that allow freedom of design and are open to body placement rather than having strict guidelines. I prefer projects that require little or no cover-up work at all. My best quality work is when clients are patient with the process and the time needed to create the design as well as finish the tattoo.

Most of my work is based on realistic portraiture. I expect clients to be willing to put forth the time and financial investment necessary to receive the best possible tattoo.

This booking period, I will be taking on more projects that can be completed in just a couple sessions. My focus will be toward horror/surreal themes and photorealism portraits of people or animals. My priority is creating designs with strong readability from a distance. As such, I will be limiting the number of multi-session projects (including full sleeves) that I take on during this period.

Please provide an image of the area you plan on getting tattooed (have someone else take the image for you).

 

Consultations

Not all projects will require an in-person consultation. If a consult is needed I will let you know and we can set up a date and time to meet at Greystone Tattoo Company or by video chat for people who are traveling. For non-consult appointments, I will send an invoice to your email for the deposit needed. I require a NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT to secure your appointment date and time.

 

Tattoo Design

I present your design on the day of your appointment. I use a stencil or draw the design on the skin with a marker depending on the imagery being used. Any minor changes to the design may be done but any major or complete changes may result in rescheduling your appointment and additional expense will occur.

 

Pricing & Deposit

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 break my appointments into half or full-day sessions.

 

Shop Minimum: $200

4 Hour Day – $800

6 Hour Day – $1200

10 Hour Day (Max hours in one session) – $2000

 

I am open to back-to-back days for imagery 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 for their design)

Anything less than 4 hours is priced by the piece.

 

Clients who have projects in progress pay the rate that was originally discussed for their tattoo design.

 

I accept all forms of payment except checks.

There is a 7.5% sales tax rate for the city of Gahanna added to all credit card transactions. 

I take 50% down for deposits. Deposits secure your appointment time and will be applied toward your tattoo cost.  ALL DEPOSITS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE AND NON-TRANSFERRABLE.

 

Rescheduling 

A 72-hour notice is needed to reschedule your tattoo appointment. Anything less than a 72-hour notice 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 Your Project Was Not Chosen

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 Greystone who may be better suited to take on the project you are after.
