FAQ

♡ Where are you located? ♡ 

I work at Magnetic Arts, in Berkeley!

♡ What are your rates? ♡ 

❀ $200 hourly, $300 minimum

❀ $100 non-refundable deposit through venmo — counts toward the total tattoo cost

❀ For customs only: $25 - $50 design fee —does not count toward the total tattoo cost

♡ What payment methods do you take? ♡

Venmo is accepted for the deposit.

Only cash is accepted on the day-of to cover the remainder of the cost.

♡ How does the deposit work? ♡

The non-refundable deposit of $100 secures and finalizes your appointment.  

Your deposit counts toward the total cost of your tattoo.  

♡ How does the custom design fee work? ♡

The non-refundable design fee of $25 - $50 is only required when you book for a custom piece.

Unlike the deposit, the design fee does not count toward the total cost of your tattoo.  

♡ Can I book for a consultation before officially deciding to book with you? ♡

Yes! If you're feeling unsure about how to proceed with booking/how to best describe the design you'd like to get, then booking for a consultation is a good place to start.  Consultations typically take about an hour, give or take. 

For consultations, I charge my custom design fee of $50.

During a consultation we can:

• Meet in person to thoroughly discuss your ideas.

• Look at and compile reference images together.

• Sketch out a few different variations of your design for you to see.

• Draw the design directly on your body — this is especially helpful if you have a specific place you want the design to fit.

• Talk through any questions or concerns you may have about the process.

If you decide not to move forward with booking your tattoo after our consultation, that is absolutely okay.

If after the consultation you decide you would like to move forward, we would finish the consult by scheduling our appointment date/s for your tattoo. :)

♡ How do I book with you? ♡

 When my books are open, you can either

Send an email to: violetas.ink.withlove@gmail.com

Please don't DM me on social media to book — I rarely see DMs in a timely manner, and they easily get lost!

♡ What do I include in the email? ♡

 Include the following in your booking email:

• The flash you want, or a thorough description of the custom you want.

• Any and all reference images to help me better understand your ideas.

• Size & placement.

• Days and times you are available.

• Your budget.

♡ When do your books open? ♡

If you would like to be the first to know when my books are open, join my Mailing List!

Otherwise, I will let you know when my books are open by updating on instagram!

♡ I sent you an email, when should I expect a response back? ♡

I try to respond to booking requests within the first few days of receiving them, but please allow me about a week+ to respond.

♡ What kinds of customs do you take? ♡

All sorts! I love drawing botanicals, animals, bugs, critters, vintage trinkets, people, and anything fantasy/whimsical.

I'd love to hear your ideas!

♡ I booked for a custom tattoo — when will I see the design? ♡

I will always show you your design before our appointment date.

My "days off" from tattooing are usually Monday, and Tuesday, and these are the days that I have the time to draw my customs for the upcoming week!  

This means that you can expect to see your custom near the Monday, Tuesday, (or Saturday, for Sunday appointments) prior to your scheduled appointment date. 

♡ Can I book a color tattoo with you? ♡

I am not currently working in color. 

Perhaps in the future!
