Please read all of the following information before booking an appointment with ARTLOS TATTOOS. Have more questions? Call us at (813) 808-4566.
Brainstorming
-
Describe your tattoo idea in full detail.
-
Upload the images that you would like to use for reference. If you have more pictures, send a separate email with all the files to contact@artxavi.com These images are important because they will allow me to properly visualize and design the tattoo.
-
Please also upload a photo of the location on your body where you would like the tattoo done.
-
Note that we will not use or accept images of other tattoos as a reference image as I will not copy other artists’ designs.
-
It is important to make sure that the project is a good match for me before we can discuss available appointment dates and accept deposits.
Design
-
At the beginning of your first appointment, we will finalize and discuss your tattoo design. Designs are not prepared prior to the session. With your input, I will design the first draft – we can brainstorm together and see if anything needs to be improved or added. This process takes around one to two hours on average – we do not charge fees for this.
Pricing
-
My standard rate is $2,000 per session, sessions take 11am to 7pm, that reflects to 6-8 hours of tattooing time each session, depending on how long takes to prep, stencil, brakes etc.
-
Larger projects such as full sleeves, back pieces, and others may take 5 to 8 sessions depending on variables such as skin type, the size and detail of the tattoo, and other factors not listed here. As this is an artistic project, there is no way to guarantee the exact amount of sessions a tattoo will take upfront – every project and person is unique.
Payment and Deposits
-
Payments are due immediately at the end of each session. At this time we accept CASH or Zelle only.
-
A deposit is necessary to secure your appointment – this is $500. Deposits are non-refundable. For booking multiple sessions, one deposit for each session is required.
-
If you need to change the date of your appointment due to unforeseen circumstances, you must let us know at least 7 days prior to the session so we can rearrange our schedules. A new deposit will be required to continue working together if you cancel or reschedule with less than 7 days’ notice. You can reschedule your appointment only once without losing your deposit.
-
Deposits are made only using Zelle.
Appointment
-
The tattoo session will usually start at 1pm. If you prefer we can start early morning as well.
-
Please do not drink alcohol for several days prior to your session – this may cause excessive bleeding during the session and cause an issue with the healing process.
-
Make sure to be well-rested before coming into the appointment and eat a meal beforehand to prevent low blood sugar issues.
-
To keep the working space sanitary and hair-free, we ask you to shave the area that is going to be tattooed in the comfort of your home before coming to the studio, while taking care not to cut yourself.
-
Make sure to wear comfortable clothing that helps with the tattooing process – if you’re getting a tattoo on your arm, a tank top or sleeveless t-shirt will be helpful – if you’re getting a tattoo on your leg – it’s better to wear shorts.
-
Please bring your own lunch and snacks. Tattoos are much less painful and your artist is able to work more proficiently when your body is nourished and fed. If you are late, you must inform us via email. If you are more than 30 minutes late without any notification, the session will be canceled without any refund.
-
If you do not show up for the appointment – you lose your deposit and we will not be able to work together.
Health Concerns and Conditions
-
As for any health problems, allergies, and contraindications – please warn us about this in advance.
