Rachel’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 of your questions as possible will be answered! *magic wand pixie dust sparkles* I really appreciate you taking the time!

Getting Started

I custom draw every piece that I tattoo, which means that your art will be completely unique and special, just for you! 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, just remember that I will not directly copy or even make minimal changes to someone else’s tattoo (without their permission). 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

Wednesday-Saturday

Start times: 10 am and 3 pm (can do 4 pm if the project size allows)

I only book in three-month blocks. My Instagram will tell you which months I am currently booking. Last-minute availability will always be posted on my stories and is first-come-first-serve. I do not keep a waitlist. I can only tattoo 6 hours maximum per session because my shoulders will explode.

Pricing

Payment

Both deposits and drawing fees are payable over Venmo or PayPal and are due at scheduling with me. I only need one or the other!

Payment for the tattoo itself can be made with cash, card, or Venmo. We take anything that taps!

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 or deposit is due within 48 hours of scheduling your appointment unless otherwise discussed with me. You may lose your appointment spot.

You can expect a drawing 1-2 weeks from when the drawing fee is paid.

You are more than welcome to request as many alterations as you want. The drawing fee covers up to one round of changes. Any further changes after that 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!

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! I will require a $50 deposit for the new appointment date if you reschedule within 1 week of your appointment. Please don’t come in sick!!

If you are more than 15 minutes late, you will be charged a $30 late fee on top of the price of the tattoo.

Additional Notes

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

I only tattoo those who are over the age of 18, and you must have your driver’s license, government-issued ID, or passport present at the appointment. 

I do not tattoo matching couple’s tattoos/names or tattoos explicitly for a romantic partner. I am okay tattooing matching friend/blood-family designs, though!

I am generally uncomfortable doing any sort of Christianity tattoo. There are lots of Christian tattooers, I am just not one of them.

Things that I LOVE to tattoo: antlers, bones, goddesses/warrior women, animal skulls, runes, Norse mythology, moons, fae/fae-related, and butterflies/moths/beetles.

Wish-list to tattoo:

Mother/Maiden/Crone, beetle/botanical chest piece, running fawn thigh tattoo (with blackberries?), gothic cathedral forearm panel (witchy aesthetic)

Styles that I LOVE to tattoo: fine line black and grey, neotraditional, small-scale photorealism

Themes that I LOVE to tattoo: -nature/botanical -dark feminine -witchy -myths

-Video games: Bioshock, Resident Evil (6,7,8), Hellblade, Pokemon, Portal

-Fandoms: Fury Road/Furiosa, Cinnamoroll, Star Wars, Vikings, Furbies/other cryptids
