For all booking inquiries, please use the form under Tattooing Requests. For all other inquiries, please email me at <vargotattoo@gmail.com>

If I decide not to take on your project at this time, please consider checking out the other talented artists at Hollow Earth.
-
Please wait up to a week after submitting your request, as I am often busy with lots of emails and it may take time to get to yours. If you have not heard back from me after a week, please send me an email at <vargotattoo@gmail.com> instead of submitting another form.

If you are traveling from out of state, I can show you your design on a video call the week of your appointment. Everyone else must wait until the day of their appointment to see the design. If you request any changes, please be advised that if I need to make significant changes to your design, I will reschedule your appointment and take off part of your deposit as a drawing fee.
-
Out of consideration for the other artists in the space, I request that you bring no more than one guest. Do not bring your child if they will have a hard time sitting quietly for several hours.
-
For large projects, I try to keep my sessions between 6 and 8 hours. If you’re traveling long distance for your tattoo, I will work up to 10 hours per day (please be prepared to stay for 12 hours including meal breaks).
-
Make sure to get plenty of sleep the night before, eat a big meal the morning of your appointment, bring snacks and water, and avoid heavy workouts and alcohol before your appointment. Most importantly, stay hydrated!
-
Please reach out to me to reschedule at the earliest sign of sickness. I give one free reschedule for illness and injury. If you try to come to your appointment while sick, you risk infecting me and the other artists, as well as having a more difficult time sitting for the tattoo due to poor body condition.
-
Please text me on Square messaging through your appointment reminder. If you no-call/no-show on the day of your appointment, you will forfeit your entire deposit and risk being dropped for future projects.
-
Please purchase travel insurance if you’re flying from out of state, just in case something urgent comes up and we have to reschedule. Please also make preparations for accommodations as needed.
-
If your tattoo is something I can cover, I will need complete artistic freedom to make sure I can cover it to the best of my abilities. All cover-up projects will take at least two sessions, to ensure the settled tattoo will still cover the old tattoo. Please be aware that color tattoos will likely require a color tattoo to cover it.
