All about consultations
PLEASE READ
All consultations at this time are virtual despite the lift of our mask mandate in the state of Washington. This is for multiple reasons and goes well beyond the Covid aspect. One significant and main reason is privacy. When doing consultations in person some people will show up early and sit and listen on a consultation in session which can make things awkward and does not provide you privacy. I also like doing them in the comfort of my own home without distractions for myself. It provides me the option to grab a quick snack or take a quick bathroom break during a 12 hour day of back to back sessions. It provides parents the ability to have their children in the comfort of their own home without having to schedule a babysitter for a 30 minute consultation. It allows people that may be commuting long distances to not have to sit in traffic or potentially be late for 30 minute consultation. Or it makes it easier to squeeze in their consultation on their break if they are working.
This also keeps the shop a clean environment.
Before Requesting requesting to book your Consultation.
When contacting us for your next tattoo you should provide as much information about the tattoo you’re requesting via our online form here. Please be specific and include approximate size, location, color or black & grey, details i.e. style of artwork, meaning, and any reference photographs or inspiration images you may have, as well as a photo of the area you want done. This provides Nicole the details necessary for the consultation making it efficient and allows us to be well informed. Once you've given everything to us through the form and it meets her style and scope of work, Nicole will follow up with you personally and provide you the link on how to reserve your spot for the consultation.
ALL CONSULTATIONS ARE VIRTUAL uness otherwise requested. In-person consultations cost $50 an hour for shop time and does not go towards the cost of your tattoo. This is typically recommended for major coverups. ALL VIRTUAL CONSULTATIONS ARE $25 and goes towards your deposit on your tattoo session. All consultations are held on specific Tuesdays. Tattoo shop time is already so limited so we do not hold consultations on tattoo session days.
The day before your scheduled consultation
Nicole will contact you via text reconfirming the time and method you requested, and will also provide you a zoom link (if applicable). Please ensure that you have the details of your request ready including your inspiration photos. We will not copy other people’s tattoos. These photos are for inspiration purposes ONLY. Also be sure to have your calendar ready and any questions you may have written down.
The day of your scheduled consultation
Please be prepared by your scheduled appointment time. If you’re running late text Nicole at 425-377-3080 to let her know. Note that tardiness will limit the amount of time we have as each consultation is limited to 30 minutes. If Nicole is running behind, she will notify you via text as a courtesy as well. Consultation days are extremely busy so we want to ensure that you feel heard and and that we provide you adequate time to do so. So if additional time is necessary or needed let Nicole know and we will schedule that to discuss your project more in depth. We have found that the 30 minutes allotted has been sufficient enough in most cases. If you are wanting to do an in-person draw session together this is the time to request that in addition to booking your tattoo days.
During your consultation we will go over the following
-artwork requested, placement, and all details pertinent I.e. style, color, size etc
-Draw fees and Deposit required to book (have card ready if choosing to pay immediately)
-Available dates (dates are held 24 hours without payment, but if deposit isn’t made the dates will be released to the next available person)
We accept card over the phone or will provide you a hidden link to pay via Apple Pay, ZELLE, Paypal, or Venmo
We hope you found this information to be helpful and we look forward to chatting with you soon!
