Q: How much will my tattoo cost?
A: My minimum starts at $200. From there, I price based on size, technical complexity, and level of detail of the design. I will provide a price estimate once given a detailed description of your idea, the desired size (in inches), and placement on your body.

​

Q: How do I book a tattoo with you?
A: You can submit a booking request through my booking form on my contact page, send me an email, or send me a DM on Instagram (@amelia.tattoo.art). Once I review your idea, I’ll reach out with next steps if it's a good fit! ​

​

Q: What types of projects are you currently taking on or not taking on?

A: Currently, I am focusing on medium to larger scale custom fine line designs featuring animals and florals, anime, and video game/fantasy/pop culture elements. I am currently not accepting micro tattoo requests or handwriting/script requests.

​

Q: Can you sketch me a design first, and then I'll book it if I like it?

A: Generally, no. I only start the drawing and designing process after the deposit has been paid and an appointment time has been set. I am happy to discuss and brainstorm ideas with you through email/messaging before you book in, but I wouldn't be sketching or designing anything prior to the deposit being paid.​

​

Q: Do you require a deposit?
A: Yes—a $50 to $100 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your appointment. It goes toward the final cost of your tattoo. Please be advised that your appointment time is not held until the deposit has been paid. I will hold the appointment slot for 24 hours; if the deposit is not paid within that time frame, I will release the slot again. 

​

Q: What’s your rescheduling or cancellation policy?

A: The deposit is non-refundable for cancellations, but will cover one (1) reschedule; additional reschedules after that will require a new deposit. I require at least  48 hours notice for rescheduling. Late reschedules or no-shows will forfeit the deposit. 

​

Q: Can I see the design before my appointment?
A: Custom designs are created based on the details provided during the booking process. Final designs are typically shared at the beginning of your appointment on the day of. Minor tweaks and adjustments can be made at that time. If major design changes or a complete redraw are requested at the time of the appointment, we may need to reschedule and the deposit will be forfeited. Therefore, the more specific and detailed you are in your design request, the better.

​

Q: Do you take custom tattoo requests?

A: Yes! I love collaborating on custom ideas, especially those rooted in anime, video games, other pop culture subject matters. I’ll let you know if the idea aligns with my style.

​

Q: Do you do reworks or cover-ups?

A: I typically do not offer reworks or cover-ups, unless the original tattoo is very small and faded. 

​​

Q: What is your guest policy?

A: Due to space limitations, I typically don't allow guests. However, I understand the need to have an emotional-support human sometimes, so if you do have the need to bring one guest, let me know in advance so I can accommodate; additional scheduling and availability constraints may apply in order to accommodate a guest.

​

Q: What forms of payment do you accept?

A: Cash is preferred, but I can also take credit card.

​

Q: Do you tattoo hands, ribs, or fingers?
A: I’m open to these placements depending on the design, but keep in mind these areas fade faster and will likely require touch-ups. These predetermined high-fade areas may incur a small touch-up fee.

​

Q: What should I do to prepare for my appointment?
A: Eat a good meal, stay hydrated, avoid alcohol the day before, and get a good night’s sleep. Moisturize the area to be tattooed beginning a week before the appointment.  Wear comfy, dark clothing and make sure the area being tattooed is easily accessible, keeping in mind that ink may stain clothing. For longer sittings, bring water, snacks, and headphones or entertainment.​​

​

Q: Do you do touch-ups?
A: Yes—free touch-ups are offered within 6 months of your appointment for natural fading and fallout. Imperfect healing due to poor client aftercare and certain predetermined high-fade areas may be subject to a touch-up fee.
