Where on your body would you like your new tattoo placed? Keep in mind that smaller tattoos look best on smaller areas (or along edges of larger areas depending on the design). So a 2″ tattoo would look good on a wrist, ankle, etc vs the center of the upper arm or thigh. The most common tattoo regret is not going bigger!

How big do you want the tattoo to be overall? Give us a rough idea, it doesn’t have to be exact. Saying approximate height in inches works, as does something like: “hand sized”, “palm sized” etc. Saying medium sized doesn’t give us a good of idea what you are thinking, as medium means wildly different things to different people.

What style would you like the tattoo to be in? Including reference photos is very helpful to give us an idea of the look you are going for. Sometimes people say the want their tattoo realistic and not cartoony (American Traditional), and we know you could either mean neotraditional or photorealism. Those two styles are very different in the tattooing world, and we want to make sure we get the correct estimate (photorealism takes much longer than other styles) and your design just right. You can always check out our portfolio to learn more about style names!

Do you have a preferred artist? If not, no problem! Our administration team can match you up with the artist best suited to your tattoo, or you can check out our portfolios if you would like to choose yourself. All of our artists have done many tattoos in every style imaginable, but they do each have specialties. Every now and then a client comes along with a tattoo idea so unusual/fun sounding that they all fight over who gets to do it!

How soon would you like to have the tattoo done? If you are hoping to get in within the next few days, be sure to mention that. Or if you live out of state and are planning a visit several months from the time of booking, let us know. We are always happy to accommodate preferred time frames whenever we can!
