What if you want something that day?
We take walk-ins, and if the artist you want to see is available for such a thing. Heads up: most custom
pieces aren’t going to be scheduled, booked, drawn, and done on the same day. Expect some waiting time
if you want original art. But if you’re looking for a sweet and quick flash piece to just do the damn
thing, we don’t blame ya. Flash tats are rad, and some studios are set up just for that...this is where
your research will come in handy!
What if you have the artist’s email, Instagram, Facebook or phone number? Unless you have a special relationship with that tattoo artist or that person is a dear friend, following the rules will make you the best client you can be. And we assume if you’re reading this: that’s exactly what you should do. Tattoo artists’ schedules are whacky and busy, keeping track of multiple forms of communication is exhausting for anybody. By going through the right motions, you ensure you’re on the calendar properly, and it will help everyone out in the long run.
Are tattoo prices negotiable? Tattoo prices can be negotiable, however most of the time they aren’t. Flash tattoos usually have a fixed price, just as tattoo artists often have a fixed hourly rate. The only time a tattoo price will be negotiable is when you’re getting a custom tattoo done. An artist can work within your budget, and you can try to negotiate a price that fits within that...but keep in mind that you should respect what the artist values their work at. Negotiating the price may mean that your custom tattoo will turn out less work-intensive than before, but you can certainly go back and finish the piece when you have more funds available..
