do you only do pet portraits?

I primarily focus on pet portraits or pet related pieces as that’s what I find the most rewarding. I’d say that’s about 80% of what I do, however I love tattooing other things too!

Here’s some other keywords/subject matter I love incase you’re not interested in a pet portrait:

Nature/animal oriented themes, cowboy, Western, desert, Halloween/spooky, traditional imagery: lady heads/daggers/panthers, etc!

How do I submit a tattoo request?

I book via tattoo request form or email. My Instagram DMs are open to chat, but not for booking tattoos unless I'm trying to fill a spot last minute.

I sort through tattoo requests based on ones I feel like I’d be the best fit for AND that have all the information I’ve asked for in them. Your request will not be considered if all the information is not provided.

how far out do you book?

I book 2-3 months in advance. I try not to book out further than 90 days at a time.

How long is a typical session booked for?

I book sessions for 3-5 hours per sitting. I work fairly quickly and can get a lot done in that time frame. 5 hours is my max I will do per session-- this is so you receive the best outcome without overworking your skin, or myself!

Where are you located?

27 Tattoo Studio

(located in downtown Phoenix, AZ)

600 N 4th St #141

Phoenix, AZ 85004

Parking:

Parking is free. You can park in the underground garage located directly next to the studio in a white triangle space.

(If those are full you can park in the yellow triangle spaces, or the parking garage attached to the Skyline Lofts)

PLEASE allow time to navigate parking so you are not late to your appointment!

What days do you work?

I work Wednesday- Saturday & take appointments starting at 12p. (On days I'm not working on a larger piece, I will book an additional time slot at 3:30 reserved for palm sized or smaller pieces)

do you do consultations?

Yes! Just let me know in your email if you would like to schedule a consult to discuss more details.

I typically find that I don’t need to do them if all the information I’ve asked for is provided, but in some cases I will ask to set one up prior to our appointment if I have any questions or concerns about your design.

I offer consults mainly virtually (FaceTime or Zoom) as I find it’s easier to work with everyone’s schedules, or in person at 27 Tattoo Studio.

What if I don’t hear back from my email or booking form?

Please don't take it personally if I don't take on your request! It's most likely the tattoo you are interested in getting is something out of my ability or not necessarily a style/subject matter I am looking to pursue at the moment.

If you haven’t heard back and feel your request may have been missed— please feel free to nudge!

pricing:

My hourly rate is $180/hr

$100 non-refundable deposit is required to book

Payment can be made via cash, Zelle, or Venmo.

Deposits are taken off of the price of your tattoo the day of your appointment. If your tattoo requires multiple sessions the deposit is taken off of your last session.

A few things to note about pet portraits:

- A portrait in my style of tattooing can generally take anywhere from 4-7 hours, depending on final size, placement, and amount of detail.

- Portraits around hand size or smaller with minimal accessories/background can typically be completed in one 4-5 hour session (or split up for your comfort)

- Anything with more detail or larger in size will be split between multiple sessions and can take closer to 5-7 hours (or more to complete) with sessions at least 3 weeks apart.

do you do cover ups?

I do cover ups/reworks if I feel like it's something I can take on. It's best to have multiple ideas and also be flexible with them as there are a lot of limitations when it comes to covering something.

Will you work on existing/previous work form another artist?

Yes, as long as I feel like it's something I can take on- and if not I'II do my best to give a recommendation for another artist that might be a better fit.

When do I get to see my design?

Drawings will be shown the day of your tattoo appointment, I do not show the design beforehand however I do leave room during our appointment to make minor changes/adjustments.

If you're not 100% happy with your design and I need more time to make changes, we will reschedule your appointment for a later date.

I do my drawings in appointment order, and typically draw up your design the night before/morning of your appointment. This is what works best for me and enables me to focus on one design at a time, giving it the attention it deserves!

I don't do any designs without a deposit/appointment in place.

Please make sure to familiarize yourself with my work located on my Instagram to ensure my style matches what you are looking for!

Cancellations/ Reschedules:

If you need to reschedule your appointment, please let me know as soon as possible. Reschedules at least 72 hours before your appointment time will not result in loss of your deposit.

Reschedules less than 72 hours before your appointment may result in loss of your deposit.

No call/no shows will automatically lose your deposit.

If you are 15 minutes late or more without notice, I reserve the right to withhold your deposit.

This does not include if you're feeling sick or have an emergency-- communication goes a long way and I just ask that my time is respected and I will always do the same for you!

If you're feeling sick in any way, or have been around anyone who's sick-- please reschedule your appointment! This will not result in loss of your deposit.

Before your appointment:

Make sure to bring a valid state photo ID.

You're more than welcome to bring prepackaged snacks (banana, granola/ protein bar, etc) we always have bottled water & some goodies around the shop too.

Bring comfy clothes that also allow access to the area getting tattooed, and a sweater if you tend to get cold!

If you like distractions while getting tattooed, I’d recommend bringing headphones or a book!

Please let me know if you need any special accommodations beforehand 🖤

Can I bring a guest?

At this time we would prefer for clients to not bring guests.

What if I am not feeling well?

If you're feeling sick in any way, or have been around anyone who's sick-- please reschedule your appointment!

Mask policy:

At this time, masks are optional at the shop.

On that note, here's a few of my personal preferences:

If you're coughing or sniffly, even if it's just "allergies" I'll either ask you to put a mask on, or reschedule your appointment if it's bad.

Basically- be considerate and I will do the same 🖤

What are your thoughts on numbing creams?

PLEASE DO NOT show up with numbing cream applied to your skin if we have not previously discussed it!

I am pro numbing, I just ask that it's with a brand I have worked with before, otherwise I will have to reschedule your appointment and your deposit will be forfeited.

I always have Bactine on hand to be used during the tattooing process (after outline)
