Consultations 

I provide complimentary consultations for custom tattoo work. To arrange a consultation, please reach out to me via email at jkatzartwork@gmail.com. I will ensure your consultation is scheduled prior to your tattoo appointment to discuss design details, pricing, and the number of sessions required. Consultations can be conducted virtually or in-person and typically last between 10 to 30 minutes.

Deposits

A deposit is necessary to secure your appointment for pre-drawn designs or to initiate the drawing process for custom pieces. This deposit is non-refundable but will be deducted from the total cost of your tattoo. Please take note of the following:

• Deposits will not be refunded in case of appointment cancellation or no-show.

• Should you need to reschedule, please notify me via email at least 48 hours prior to your appointment, and your deposit will be transferred to the new date.

• A second reschedule will require an additional deposit.

• Deposits can be made via Venmo or PayPal.

• Small tattoo deposits are $100, while larger tattoo deposits generally range from $100 to $300.

Pricing

I determine tattoo prices by the piece for pre-drawn flash tattoos, and by my hourly rate for custom work. Please note my rate for custom work is $150/hr. Tattoo pricing will be discussed during your consultation, if applicable, or upon arrival for your appointment once tattoo size is decided.

Small Tattoos

• Palm-size pieces typically range from $200 to $350.

• Hand-size pieces generally cost between $400 and $600.

• I have a $200 minimum. 

Budget Consideration

Please inform me if you have a specific budget in mind. I will try to accommodate your budgetary constraints and design accordingly.

Design Process

Custom designs will not be shared before appointments. We will review and make any necessary minor adjustments to your design during the first scheduled appointment. Any significant changes will require a reschedule to allow sufficient time for redesigning.

For custom work, please communicate any specific design preferences in my booking form or during your consultation. For larger custom work I ask a minimum of 1 week advance notice to allow sufficient design time before your appointment. 

Cancellations and Rescheduling

Cancellation or rescheduling requests must be communicated via email with at least 48 hours notice. Failure to do so will result in forfeiture of your deposit, requiring another deposit for rebooking.

Each appointment allows for one "free" reschedule; subsequent rescheduling will require another deposit for booking.

Preparation Before Your Appointment

• Aim for a good night's rest beforehand.

• Stay hydrated.

• Eat a meal at least two hours before your appointment.

• Moisturize the tattoo area with lotion in the days leading up to your appointment.

• Bring a valid ID or passport for necessary paperwork.

Arrival

• Please arrive no earlier than 5 to 10 minutes before your appointment.

• Please attend your appointment alone.

Payment

Cash is preferred for tattoo payments, although I also accept Venmo.

Tips

Tipping is not included in the total cost but is appreciated. The usual tipping range is between 10% to 40% of the total tattoo price, including the deposit.

Aftercare

I will discuss aftercare options with you post-tattoo and help you select the best option. Feel free to ask any questions beforehand. I typically use either the traditional method (washing with antibacterial soap 2-3 times daily and applying unscented moisturizer) or an adhesive skin bandage called RecoveryDerm, which remains on for 3-6 days.

Touch-Ups

All tattoos come with one free touch-up within a year, preferably within six months for optimal results. Contact me via email to schedule a touch-up appointment.

Thank you and I look forward to working together!
