HOW DO I BOOK AN APPOINTMENT?
In order to book an appointment I require a consultation to discuss the design you would like in person. The consultation is a free 10-15 minute meeting at which we will be able to discuss the details of your tattoo including design, price estimates, size, etc. At the end of your consultation, if you would like to proceed with booking an appointment, myself and reception will find a date that works best. I do require a non-refundable deposit of $100-$200 for all projects based off size to book an appointment. If you have any other questions regarding booking a consultation, you may email Booking.CalebGibsonArt@gmail.com and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO GET TATTOOED?
Overall cost varies from each project depending on a number of factors. Appointments are booked in either half or full days. A half day is typically 2-3hrs and a full is 4+hrs. Half: $500-$600 Full: $800-$1,200
DO YOU TAKE CREDIT OR DEBIT CARDS?
I do accept debit and credit.
HOW OLD DO I HAVE TO BE TO GET TATTOOED?
Any person getting tattooed must be 18 years old or older. There is no exception, even with parental consent. To get tattooed, you are required to provide a government issued photo ID that has your birthdate on it. If you are unable to provide an ID, we will not be able to tattoo you.
DO I HAVE TO LEAVE A DEPOSIT?
Yes, if you decide to book an appointment with me I require you to leave a non-refundable deposit of $100-200 based off size to save your space. Your deposit is non-refundable, but it does go toward the price of your tattoo. You are able to reschedule your appointment and keep the deposit if you give me 72hr notice. If you need to change your appointment for any reason after the 72 hr notice, you will forfeit your deposit. If you need to cancel your appointment, you forfeit your deposit. If you need to reschedule but do not provide dates, the deposit is held for 3 months then forfeited if no date is set. Deposits can not be transferred to someone else.
WHAT IF I NEED TO CANCEL AN APPOINTMENT?
All deposits are non-refundable, so if you need to completely cancel your appointment, you will loose your deposit. You are able to reschedule your appointment and keep the deposit if you give me a 72 hr notice. If you need to change your appointment for any reason after the 72 hour point, you will forfeit your deposit.
WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND FOR AFTERCARE?
I will wrap your tattoo with either plastic wrap or a bandage. Leave this wrapping on for at least 2-3 hours, and for a maximum of 5 hours unless otherwise stated. Remove your bandage and, with clean hands, wash your tattoo throughly with warm water and soap. Make sure to wash away all of the plasma and ointment that may be on your tattoo. Pat it completely dry with a clean paper towel, making sure that there is no extra moisture on the tattoo. Do not dry your fresh tattoo with a bath towel, as they harbor bacteria.
After your tattoo is completely dry, you may apply a very small amount of A&D ointment or unscented lotion. Repeat the process of washing it, patting it dry, and putting ointment on it for the first 2-3 days, 2-3 times a day.
After the first 3-4 days are over and your tattoo is no longer an open wound, you can reduce the frequency of washing your tattoo to 1-2 times a day. You may apply a small amount of unscented lotion to you tattoo if you feel like it is getting too uncomfortable, but it is best to keep it relatively dry for the first week or so. After the first week, you may use lotion as often as you like.
Your tattoo will flake, itch, and possibly scab while healing. This is completely normal and is not cause for concern. Do not pick or scratch or pull of any scabs. Please avoid long and steamy hot showers, and do not soak your fresh tattoo for at least 2 weeks. Avoid direct sunlight on your tattoo. If your tattoo is fresh, keep is covered under clothing while out in the sun. Once it is healed, you can apply high SPF sunblock on your tattoo. The sun will age your tattoo very quickly if not cared for properly.
Your tattoo should be fully healed in about a month. If you have any questions about aftercare, please do not hesitate to reach out!
