Question 2

How do I book an appointment to be tattooed, or have a consultation with an artist to talk about my tattoo idea and book an appointment to be tattooed at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes, figuring out a tattoo idea can be hard! We're here to help. Some of our folks travel to see us, and we take care of our consultations via video chat, email, and text. We take deposits via Paypal to set appointment dates and times. Others are closer to Ironwood, and we have in person consultations.If you are just interested in having a consultation with an artist, and aren't ready to actually book a tattoo appointment, send us an Email @ porkiestat@gmail.com for more information.The best way to get the ball rolling is to use the "Tattoo Requests" form at the top of this page. There you can share all the details of your tattoo idea. Once we've received your request, expect an email from the shop following up with all the necessaries. We may need to meet in person or online to better understand your request, and will coordinate with you to do so. Other times the requests are straight forward, and don't need additional discussion. We require a deposit  of $100, per appointment booked. For example, if you wanted to have a sleeve done, and your artist said you would need 8 appointments to complete it, expect to put down $800. Deposits generally are non-refundable  (we are understanding, life throws us curve balls sometimes, however, it is at your artist's discretion whether or not to refund a deposit) and are applied to the cost of your tattoo appointment the day of the appointment. (Think of it as a "down payment," the deposit comes off the total cost of your appointment the day of).Our cancellation policy is straightforward. If you no call / no show you forfeit your deposit for that appointment. Communication is key; ideally, if you need to reschedule, the more notice you can give us the better.
