I ask that you please read over this FAQ page before inquiring about getting tattooed.  These are commonly asked questions and will most likely answer questions you may have.  If after reading this, and I still didn’t answer your question, then please feel free to include that in your inquiry.  Your first step in getting tattooed will be to read this Q&A, then submit a detailed inquiry form along with any pictures. 

What’s the best way to contact you for a consultation/appointment?      

• I book in Three to Six month increments at a time, and if you want something further out you may want to wait.  Booking this way allows for changes in my schedule and opportunities to book my traveling dates.  Once my books are full and you would like to be notified of when they will be opening again, join my mailing-list, this way I can also notify you of travel dates and last-minute availability due to cancelations. 

• I usually don’t do schedule consultations unless upon request and typically a week prior to the appointment. I’m  able to design your piece based off your proposal email that included your ideas and reference photos. This process has allowed me to streamline the design process and allow more time with clients.

 Do you take walk ins?  

• Unfortunately i do not  I will make an announcement if I have a cancellation; therefore, I'd recommend signing up for my mailing-list.  Of course, to insure your space in my schedule, its best to contact me in advance so we can plan and schedule your appointment for a future date. 

When can expect a reply from my inquiry?  

• I usually reply to all inquiries at the beginning of the week.  Since so much of my time is spent drawing and tattooing it may take me a little bit of time to go over your inquiry and get back with you so please be patient with me during this process.  Please note, to expedite the inquiry process, include as much information as you can along with any pictures.    

Is there any type of tattoos you won’t do ?  

• Please review my tattooing style before submitting a request for a tattoo. I try my best to take on projects for any type of illustrative tattoos, however, if I feel your idea may not be best suited for my style I will let you know.          

What are your rates and deposit?  

• My hourly rate is 250$ a hour. With a day rate of 1500$.

   When traveling to guest spots or working at conventions my pricing varies; to accommodate the cost of traveling and taking into consideration the countries currency and national average rates

• Single and multi session appointments are a $500/1000$ deposit. (A single-session appointment is generally a single, 3+ hour session. Multi-session appointments can be up to 4/5 hours per session. When booking your first appointment, I ask that you book your first three sessions, spaced three to six weeks apart.) All deposits are applied to last and final session of the tattoo!

What is your Cancellation and Rescheduling Policy?  

• Unfortunately, if you need to cancel your appointment for any reason, you will need to start the booking process all over.  Please keep in mind when you cancel, I have appointments already booked up to 3 months out, and you will most likely be  waiting another 3 months to get back into an open slot in my schedule. I require a 48-hour notice at the very minimum for cancellations. Three reschedules are allowed, and on the fourth cancellation your deposit will be forfeited.  Also, people that cancel less than 48-hours in advance, are less likely to be scheduled in the future.  Please note, your required deposit to book your appointment is nonrefundable.  The deposit will be applied to your tattoo, and if your tattoo requires multiple appointments, the deposit is applied to the last appointment. 

Do you tattoo darker skin complexion

• Absolutely! I try my best to go over the best Colors and best way to approach your complexion.

 Where are you located?

• My hours Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday 11am to 5pm. Keep these hours in mind when scheduling your appointment. Please contact me ahead of time for booking a consultation, therefore, you will have my undivided attention. Heart tattoo is located at 1605 North Franklin St , Tampa, FL 33602.

How much will my tattoo cost? 

• Prices vary by piece. I charge by the hour, and factors that affect my time spent on each piece include, placement, amount of detail, and size of the tattoo. Please inform me in your appointment inquiry if you are looking to stay within a specific budget. Below, I've attached some tattoos I've done with the rough number of hours and sessions it took to help better judge how long it might take. hope it helps!

ABOUT ME

Constantly pushing myself artistically and mentally in my work,  no limits or lines are draw when it comes to categorize my art in a style. In tattooing I am drawn to illustrative imagery  and timeless designs, such as, floral, fauna and natural scenery.  An 80's kid at heart, expressing my nostalgia through my art and graphic design is close to my heart.  You can find me on most given days at Trilogy Tattoos in the always sunny and beautiful Tampa, Florida.
