Booking Your Tattoo

I look for projects that allow freedom of design and body placement, rather than having strict requirements. I prefer projects that require little or no cover-up work at all. Most of my work is based on realistic portraiture, and as such, I do not accept requests for full figure designs unless it is on a large scale. 

I prefer projects that will be completed over multiple sessions. My focus is toward horror/surreal themes and photorealism portraits of people or animals. My priority is creating designs with strong readability from a distance. 

Please provide an image of the area you plan on getting tattooed (have someone else take the photo for you).

Consultations

Not all projects will require an in-person consultation. If a consultation is needed, I will let you know, and we can set up a date and time to meet at Hollow Earth or video chat. If you do not have an in-person consultation, I will send an invoice to your email for the booking fee. I require a NON-REFUNDABLE BOOKING FEE to secure your appointment date and time.

Tattoo Design

I will present your design on the day of your appointment. Minor changes to the design can be done on the spot, but any major changes will require another booking fee to reschedule your appointment. If you wish to see your design ahead of time but can’t come to the shop in person, we can do a video chat. I will not have your design ready until the week of the appointment.

Pricing & Booking Fee

If your project has been accepted, I will take a $200 booking fee to set aside appointment dates for your project. Please note the booking fee is NOT A DEPOSIT, and will NOT be deducted from the cost of your tattoo. The booking fee is non-refundable, and for each new project a booking fee will be required. If you do not show up on the day of your appointment, you will be asked to pay another booking fee to reschedule. YOUR BOOKING FEE MUST BE PAID WITHIN 24 HOURS OF THE TIME I SEND THE INVOICE.

*I charge $200 hourly, and all projects must be, at a minimum, 1-2 hours.

Full Day – $1600 (8 hours)

Large tattoo projects will require multiple sessions to finish. I am open to booking back-to-back days for tattoos that can’t be finished in one sitting. As such, I cannot guarantee an exact estimate for multi-session projects. All estimates are my best guess but are subject to my hourly rate.

I accept all forms of payment except checks and money orders.

An 8% sales tax for the city of Columbus will be added to all transactions. 

Rescheduling 

A 72-hour notice is needed to reschedule your tattoo appointment. Anything less than a 72-hour notice (barring an emergency) will require a new booking fee. I only accept one reschedule per booked appointment. Any further attempts to reschedule will result in your project being dropped.

If Your Project Was Not Chosen

If I do not accept your request, it is likely either outside of my artistic style, or not something I am focusing on during this booking period. I would be happy to make a referral and answer any further questions you may have. If I am unable to take on your project, we have other talented artists at Hollow Earth who may be better suited to take on your project. Please refer to the artist profiles on the shop website www.hollowearthtattoo.com.
